Tyree

Tyree was a male native of the planet Neural in the 23rd century.

As a young man in 2255, Tyree was befriended by Starfleet Lieutenant James T. Kirk during the human's first planetary survey mission. Between this time and 2268, Tyree rose to become leader of his tribe, the Hill People, and had taken a wife, Nona.

In 2268, Klingon agents began supplying primitive firearms to the village-dwellers, a rival tribe on Neural. When his wife was killed by the villagers Tyree, though a man of peace, asked Kirk to supply his people with the same guns as his enemy had. 

Alternate universes
In an alternate universe where humanity more openly accepted the xenophobia of Terra Prime, Kirk did meet Tyree but did not befriend him.
