Witten

Witten was the Prefect of New Brinden in the 2280s.

History
In 2287, Witten accepted help from the Federation and Starfleet in finding a cure to a disease ravaging the low class of New Brinden. However, before the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-A)'s arrival, Witten had all the affected rounded up and put into compounds. After the Enterprise's CMO Dr. Leonard McCoy, administered a cure to a man named Amzel, Witten informed Capt. Kirk and his crew that Amzel had died. Despite Dr. McCoy's assurances that a cure could be found, Witten told that he would start his contingency plan to kill the affected people.

Witten, after hearing the price of the bounty on Capt. Kirk being offered by the Klingons and the Nasgul, demanded that he turn himself over to him or he would kill all the afflicted people and allow the Federation to continue work on the cure..
