Gage Darres

Gage Darres was a male human Starfleet Intelligence officer in the 23rd century.

In 2255, Darres was working at Starfleet Intelligence Headquarters, where he befriended fellow agent Jack Casden.

Following the incident at Tycho IV, Commander Darres was assigned by Starfleet Intelligence to the USS Farragut to investigate. There, he befriended Lieutenant James T. Kirk, convincing him to remain in the service. Darres remained on the Farragut for six months.

In 2263, Darres and Casden crossed paths again, and briefly renewed their friendship.

In 2268, following the death of all hands, including Captain Casden, aboard the USS Sphinx, Darres was assigned to investigate the matter. However, Darres died in a transporter malfunction, believed by Kirk to have been purposefully caused to halt Darres' probe. Before his death, Darress had recorded and encrypted a copy of the Starfleet Charter, a clue which lead Kirk to become aware of the organization Section 31.
