Biography[]

Early life[]

The Early Voyages comic series, and the novel Burning Dreams, provide contradictory information on Pike's early life.
Early Voyages

Christopher Pike was the son of retired Starfleet Admiral Josh Pike, and was raised in Mojave, California, Earth. Josh brought up Chris with a level of tough love that left the father-son relationship somewhat strained. (EV comic: "The Fallen")

Chris' godfather, Mahirn, was a friend of Josh's. (EV comic: "The Flat, Gold Forever")

Burning Dreams

Christopher McKinnies was born in Mojave, California in 2219, the son of architect Willa McKinnies, and would not know his biological father until adulthood. When Christopher was nine, his mother married terraformer Heston Prescott, and his stepson took his surname.

Actor Jeffrey Hunter, who played Pike, was born Henry Herman McKinnies, Jr.

In 2228, the family moved to the colony world of Elysium. There, he was befriended by Charlie Pike, an apparent drifter and hired hand, who helped the family in their horse-breeding endeavor. Willa and Heston died in 2231 when intense wildfires swept across Elysium. While aboard a Starfleet ship aiding rescue operations on Elysium, Chris learned that Charlie was a Starfleet petty officer who had been on extended leave. Pike brought Christopher back to Mojave, to the home he shared with his wife, Hobelia. Charlie also brought Tango, a horse that Chris and Charlie had been raising, back to Mojave, as well. The day after Christopher's thirteenth birthday, the couple formally adopted him, and gave him the surname Pike. Pike would later learn that Charlie Pike was actually his biological father. (TOS novel: Burning Dreams)

Early career[]

Pike enrolled in Starfleet Academy after Starfleet officer Alexander Marcus convinced him to join Starfleet in 2223, receiving his commission four years later. (TOS movie & novelization: Star Trek Into Darkness)

The events around Marcus recruiting Pike predate the timeline split in 2233; however, the dates given in other Prime Universe sources give Pike's time at the Academy as post-2233.

Pike attended Starfleet Academy, and graduated in 2241 at the top of his class. Fellow members of his class included Lucien Murat, Akiko Torunaga, and Kadish of Vulcan, all of whom also became Starfleet legends. (TNG novel: The Forgotten War)

Following his graduation from the Academy, Ensign Pike was assigned to the light cruiser USS Olympus. During his service aboard the Olympus, Pike became good friend with the ship's chief engineer, Glenn Pitcairn. (TOS novel: The Children of Kings)

In 2246, he held the rank of lieutenant commander, and was temporarily assigned as first officer of the USS Aldrin under Captain Kamnach. Pike was forced to relieve Kamnach of duty when the captain launched an unprovoked attack on a Vestian ship. Pike was charged with mutiny, but all charges were dismissed following a court-martial, and Pike given a promotion to Commander, and assigned to the USS York. (TOS novel: Burning Dreams)

Pike served as the executive officer of the USS Enterprise under Captain Robert April for a time. Here, he met a young Spock for the first time. (TOS novella: Crisis on Vulcan, DSC episode: "Brother")

Pike's third command was the USS Yorktown. (TOS novel: Vulcan's Glory)

As his command prior to the Enterprise, it would presumably have been on the Yorktown that Pike first served alongside Number One and Dermot Cusack.

At some point, Pike, along with his trusted Yeoman Cusack, were involved with a conflict with the Tholians. (EV comic: "The Fires of Pharos")

Captain of the Enterprise[]

Pike and April in Dock

Pike walks with April to board his new command, the Enterprise.

In 2250, Captain Robert April announced to the UFP Grand Assembly that he was stepping down as commanding officer of the Enterprise. Pike was given command of the Enterprise, bringing with him Cusack as captain's yeoman, and managing to convince Number One to serve as his XO, rather than pursue her own command. Pike and Cusack shared a drink of Irish whiskey when they discussed the rest of his senior staff selection, which included continuing members of the crew from April's captaincy, as well as several new faces. April personally walked Pike to the Enterprise in spacedock to give him some words of wisdom before he boarded. Pike commanded the Enterprise for a total of thirteen years, including two five-year missions. (DSC episode: "Brother", TOS novels: Final Frontier, Vulcan's Glory; EV comic: "Flesh of My Flesh"; ST reference: Star Trek Chronology)

In 2250, while on leave at Earth, he met Janeese Carlisle and fell in love. Though forced to leave her as she was entering Starfleet Academy, they maintained subspace contact over the next two-and-a-half years. When the Enterprise returned to Earth in 2254, he learned she was in love with another man, and was nearly driven to bitterness and disappointment. (TOS novel: Vulcan's Glory)

Two years into his command, Pike's science officer was struck down by Virillian toxic fever, just as the Enterprise was about to begin a long term survey of the Pathiad Nebulatae. Pike managed to secure the then-Cadet Spock to take on the science-officer role on the Enterprise before proceeding on the mission. (EV comic: "Flesh of My Flesh")

Pike captive

Pike in Ngultor captivity.

On stardate 2252.34 in 2254, the Enterprise was diverted from her mission to the Marrat system to investigate some strange goings-on. With the Enterprise acting as bait, the culprit of several disappearances was revealed. An organic starship of the Ngultor attacked the Enterprise and took Pike hostage, probing his mind causing him to flashback to times gone past, attempting to research the species and population-centers of the region in preparation for their harvest. Fortunately their link worked both ways, and Pike was able to discover their plans, and, with renewed determination, break the connection. Pike was promptly rescued by a landing party lead by Number One, and after being beamed back to the Enterprise, destroyed the Ngultor mothership to prevent it reporting back its findings to Ngultor-space. (EV comic: "Flesh of My Flesh") The incident had lasting effects on Captain Pike, and he still hadn't fully recovered weeks later. (EV comics: "Our Dearest Blood", "Nor Iron Bars a Cage")

Kaaj intro

Pike's first encounter with his future nemesis, Kaaj.

The Enterprise proceeded to the Marrat system, arriving just in time to drive off a hostile force from Starbase 13. Proceeding to the Pharos siteworld, the site of Project Pharos, to investigate a loss of communication, the Enterprise came under attack from the IKS Varchas, under command of the Klingon Kaaj. With the Enterprise nearly crippled by Kaaj’s advanced tactics, Pike resorted to outside-the-box thinking, and fired on the dilithium-rich planet below. The attack ignited the planet, and gave Kaaj a humiliating defeat; the Klingon retreated, vowing a blood debt of revenge on Pike for his actions. (EV comic: "The Fires of Pharos")

The Enterprise's next mission took Pike to Rigel VII, where Pike was taken by the Rigellian Minister's aide Talza to visit the Zemtar fortress the site for a ceremony the next day ratifying the planet's entry into the UFP. Unfortunately, Talza was Rigellian traditionalist, and part of a conspiracy amongst the planet's warrior elite, the Kaylar, to stage a coup. The trip to the fortress was a trap, and Pike only just survived an encounter with a Kaylar warrior. Dermot Cusack was less fortunate, and was killed by Talza, who had left Pike to his fate. (EV comic: "Our Dearest Blood")

The Enterprise left Rigel for Vega colony to take care of others wounded in the Kaylar attacks. En route, the USS Savannah collected the dead, and delivered Pike's new yeoman, Mia Colt. Pike, still grieving, did not get off to a good start with Colt, reacting badly when, following Cusack's eulogy, she, talking with Nano, suggested the outcomes of the incident on Rigel VII might not be all bad. (EV comic: "Nor Iron Bars a Cage")

The Talosians[]

Pike and Vina

Pike and Vina in Talosian captivity.

Before reaching Vega, Pike diverted the Enterprise when it detected a distress call from Talos IV. On the planet, Pike led a landing party which discovered a camp of survivors from SS Columbia. However, all but one of these survivors was soon revealed to be the telepathic illusions of the planet's natives, the Talosians, who took Pike into captivity. (TOS episode: "The Cage")

While his crew tried to rescue him, Pike endured the mental illusions of the Talosians, reliving the events of Rigel VII, but this time with Vina, the one true survivor. The Talosians allowed two Enterprise crew persons to beam in, Number One and Mia Colt, hoping one of the three women would tempt Pike into staying on Talos IV and mating. While held together, Pike made recompense for his earlier harshness towards his new yeoman. (TOS episode: "The Cage"; EV comic: "Nor Iron Bars a Cage")

Not willing to be held by the Talosians, Pike resisted, and forced them to allow him and his fellow captives to escape, risking suicide rather than remaining in captivity. During the final confrontation, Vina chose to remain with the Talosians. (TOS episodes: "The Cage", "The Menagerie")

After the events on Talos IV, Enterprise was recalled to Earth for debriefing, and attacked by Halogians near Jupiter. Pike included Yeoman Colt on the away team, and she successfully established a feedback loop in the Halogian ship's dilithium control matrix to begin a warp core breach, destroying the ship. Pike noted that Colt must have been studying in her spare time, and said that he would recommend her for immediate promotion. (IDW comic: "Captain's Log: Pike")

Later missions[]

Not long after Talos IV (circa 2255), the Enterprise visited Corinthia VII. Though initially believed to be devoid of any advanced life-forms, a landing party discovered huge subterranean creatures on the planet. It was his experience with the Talosians that helped Pike battle these dangerous life-forms. (TOS short story: "A Private Anecdote")

Captain Pike was also instrumental in defeating the Merkaan Hamesaad Dreen, who had been harassing Federation shipping. Pike convinced Dreen that he wasn't the ideal Starfleet officer, that he could be bought. As part of the plan, Pike talked Dreen into allowing Spock to beam aboard his ship with a gift of dilithium. While Spock was being beamed on board, Pike had his transporter chief beam a security-team onto the Merkaan ship at the same time. The Starfleet security team was soon able to seize Dreen's vessel. Dreen was later allowed to return home in disgrace. (TOS novel: Legacy)

On a mission to find the missing starship USS Cortez, Pike led a landing party to Darien 224, where he and the landing party were attacked by a rebel group of the planet's resident Vulcan colony. The landing party was rescued by another group from the colony, and soon found themselves the guests of the colony’s leaders. The Vulcans' motives soon became clear – they wished to return to Vulcan as conquerors, and required the Enterprise to get there. They sent Pike back in the landing party's shuttlecraft to prepare their ship, certain of his compliance while holding the rest of the landing party hostage. Pike got back to the Enterprise just as the Vulcans on Darien fired a powerful psionic weapon to destroy the Cortez, which had been commandeered by the opposing Vulcan-faction. The firing of the weapon caused a feedback-loop, which began to destroy Darien. With the planetoid falling apart, Pike had the Enterprise taken into the atmosphere to beam out the rest of the landing party and make a safe getaway. (EV - Cloak and Dagger comics: "Cloak & Dagger", "Cloak and Dagger, Part 2")

Prairie burning

Pike at the edge of the crop fires on Prairie.

Following the events at Darien 224, the Enterprise stopped at Deep Space Station K-12 to undergo repairs. While there Pike received a message from his godfather informing him his father was critically ill. He took one of the Enterprise's shuttlecraft, headed for Earth, to visit his father. Unfortunately, the message had been faked by Pike's Klingon nemesis Kaaj, and he soon found himself under attack. Thanks to the incompetence of Kaaj's crew, he was able to escape immediate capture, and crashlanded on the planet Prairie. He was rescued from the burning wreckage of his shuttle by Claire Thorn, and taken back to her Harvester rig, the Rostok. The Klingons soon tracked him down and sent assault-squads to capture him – once again Pike managed to evade them, and left the harvester on a skimmer. His escape was short-lived – he and his skimmer were shot down by another assault squad, but were unable to be tracked in the corn fields. Frustrated and impatient, Kaaj locked onto his assault team's comm-signal and fired from orbit, killing his men and destroying the crops but completely missing Pike. Before Kaaj could destroy enough of the crops to kill Pike, the Enterprise arrived and drove off the Klingons. (EV comic: "The Flat, Gold Forever")

Following an investigative mission into Orion space, Pike delivered a shocking report on the Orion slave trade on reference stardate 2/0103.13. This added to a general condemnation of Orion slavery within the Federation, prompting official boycotts, and resulting in the First Amendment to the Articles of the Federation, banning slavery within the Federation. (FASA RPG module: The Federation)

Captain of Discovery[]

C

Captain Pike in 2257.

The Enterprise experienced an emergency situation in 2257, forcing Pike to send out a priority one distress call. The distress call was answered by the USS Discovery, which was en route to Vulcan from Earth. Dropping out of warp, the Discovery was met by the Enterprise. Pike took command of Discovery, and led a landing party to find survivors from the USS Hiawatha. (DSC episodes: "Will You Take My Hand?", "Brother")

Pike continued to command the Discovery throughout 2257, leading a mission to the planet Terralysium. (DSC episode: "New Eden")

Pike also established first contact with a massive, spacegoing spheroid lifeform and, reluctantly, teamed up with his old friend Leland, a Section 31 operative, to rescue Sylvia Tilly from the mycelial network. (DSC episodes: "An Obol for Charon", "Saints of Imperfection")

After recovering Spock and Burnham from Talos IV, Pike went to the Section 31 headquarters, where he and the crew discovered that Control had gone rogue and killed Section 31's leadership. Discovering that Lt. Commander Airiam had been corrupted by Control, and was on the station uploading data collected by an ancient sphere into Control, he ordered Burnham and Nhan to eject Airiam into space in order to stop the upload from completing. (DSC episode: "Project Daedalus")

Pike was able to convince Starfleet to drop all charges against the Discovery crew, Spock, and Burnham. He then took the ship to Essof IV in a plan to trap the Red Angel in the current timeframe. The Discovery crew was able to entrap the being in the 23rd century, and learned that the being was actually Commander Burnham's mother, Dr. Gabrielle Burnham. Meeting her for the first time, Gabrielle hinted at the future that awaited Pike. (DSC episodes: "The Red Angel", "Perpetual Infinity")

Following Dr. Burnham's disappearance and Control's escape, Pike and the Discovery discovered a red burst at Boreth. With Chancellor L'Rell's permission, Pike was allowed to the Boreth's Monastery to retrieve a time crystal and learn about the whereabouts of L'Rell and Voq's son. There, Pike met with the Timekeepers, guardians of the time crystals. The timekeeper monk, Tenavik allowed Pike to attempt to take one. Tenavik revealed himself as VoQ's child and told how the time crystals had made him grown in the months since Tyler was forced to leave Qo'noS. When Pike attempted to retrieve a time crystal, he saw his future where he bound to a wheel chair following a accident. Despite this, Pike was able to return to Discovery with a time crystal. He also told L'Rell and Tyler about their son, Tenavik. He then contacted the Enterprise to assist them. (DSC episode: "Through the Valley of Shadows")

To ensure that the Sphere's data would not be taken by Control, Pike and Discovery's senior officers decided to self-destruct the ship. However, the data would not allow itself or Discovery be destroyed. Captain Pike agreed with Burnham's plan to build their own Red Angel suit and send Discovery into the future. Pike commanded the Enterprise as they took on Control's fleet with several shuttles and aid from both the Kelpiens and the Klingons. Pike watched as Burnham and the Discovery entered the wormhole. Following the Discovery's disappearance and Control's destruction, Pike along with Una, Spock and Tyler debriefed Starfleet about the event. They all chose to lie, claiming that Discovery had been destroyed and the blame rested with Section 31. (DSC episode: "Such Sweet Sorrow")

Return to the Enterprise[]

Following the departure of the USS Discovery into the far future, Pike eventually returned to the Enterprise after she was repaired. When Chin-Riley was arrested for illegal Illyrian genetic modifications in 2259, Pike decided to try and help her by learning more about the Illyrians' modifications. Pike and the Enterprise's crew were able to get help from Governor Da-Kil of Pryllia.(SNW episode: "A Quality of Mercy"; SNW - The Illyrian Enigma comics: "Issue 1", "Issue 2", "Issue 3", "Issue 4")

In 2261, the starship underwent a yearlong refit at Earth, and Captain Pike found himself temporarily deskbound. In 2262, during the later stages of the refit-process, Pike visited the parents of Vina in Paris, France, and subsequently resumed command of the starship. Later in the year, the Enterprise encountered the Kan'ess, a race of reptilian hunters, and Pike was, for a time, held captive as a pet by one of their leaders. (TOS novel: Burning Dreams)

In the fall of 2263, the starship Enterprise under Pike intervened in a space battle at Bardeezi Prime against the mysterious cylinder-ships of an unknown race called the Agni. During the confrontation (viewed as a hostile incursion into Federation space), the heavy cruiser USS Kongo was severely damaged, and its first officer killed. (TOS novel: The Captain's Oath)

Some time in 2264, Pike's Enterprise located an ancient Earth vessel (seemingly launched back in the 20th century) in deep space, commanded by the human pioneer Cavor. (TOS - New Visions comic: "The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner")

Fleet Captain Pike[]

Sorak Spence Pike

Fleet Captain Pike at a diplomatic reception.

In late 2264, following the end of his second five-year mission aboard the Enterprise, Pike accepted a promotion to Fleet Captain, following the conclusion of final negotiations with the Agni species, and informed Commodore Robert Wesley of his decision, as well as his formal recommendation to officially turn command of the Enterprise over to James T. Kirk, who had recently impressed Pike by successfully resolved the mounting Agni-crisis with a minimum of bloodshed.

However, Pike completed the starship's then-current tour of duty prior to the command-handover, a process which took until the following spring (of 2265). Unfortunately, this also meant that he had to step down as captain of the Enterprise, but Pike felt that his former starship was now in good hands with Captain Kirk. (TOS episode: "The Menagerie", TOS novels: The Captain's Oath, Enterprise: The First Adventure)

Shortly after his promotion, Pike was a guest at a conference on Babel, reflecting bitterly about how his promotion had led to becoming a little-known celebrity at tedious diplomatic receptions. Nevertheless, he uncovered criminal activities by a Tellarite delegate with the peculiar aid of Leata, an Orion slave girl/assassin/bounty hunter. By this point, Pike declared that he had been mind-controlled by the best and knew all the tricks, and was able to resist an Orion woman's pheromones and persuasion. (TOS comic: "Alien Spotlight: Orions")

In 2265, aboard the USS Tereshkova, he participated in a joint Starfleet–Trill study of a rogue comet in the Trill system. At the request of Trill scientist Audrid Dax, he agreed to keep the discovery of a parasitic life form inside that comet classified. Pike's reports on the encounter were added to the Starfleet file XENO-02884/1. Pike was assigned to Starbase 11 at the time. (DS9 - The Lives of Dax short story: "Sins of the Mother", DS9 - Mission Gamma novel: Lesser Evil)

Tragedy and new life[]

PikeAccident

Pike's 2266 accident.

In 2266, Pike decided to participate in a cadet training cruise on a Class J starship. Pike told his parents that he did not expect to be gone overly long. Before leaving on the trip, Pike told Commodore Mendez of his plans. Mendez expressed concern over Pike performing the inspection, feeling that Class J ships had design flaws, and should have been retired from service years ago. Pike downplayed the concerns, and joked with Mendez that the latter would probably get in trouble for criticizing the Class J ships on an open subspace frequency. (TOS novel: Burning Dreams)

Pike soon left to take part in a training cruise on the Class J starship captained by his former yeoman J.M. Colt. During the trip, an encounter with the Halogians caused a structural rupture that flooded the ship with delta radiation. Pike acted to save the cadets who couldn't leave engineering on their own, taking debilitating doses of radiation in the process. In order to keep the ship from being irradiated, the isolation systems engaged, trapping Pike in engineering. His life was saved, but he was confined to a life-support wheelchair and left unable to speak, other than by the simple blinking of a light on his chair. While technically Pike should have been removed from the active-duty lists, Mendez and his other fellow officers couldn't bring themselves to do so. (TOS comic: "Captain's Log: Pike" and DSC episode: "Through the Valley of Shadows")

Startrek.com states that the ship Pike was on when he had his accident was the USS Republic.

Commodore Mendez gave Pike a room in the top floor of the medical wing so that he could look out over the starbase and surrounding lands. Mendez also kept in contact with Charlie and Hobelia – who had been asked by Pike not to travel across the galaxy to retrieve him if he suffered such an accident. Charlie and Hobelia began making arrangements to see if Pike could be brought back to them on Earth.

Doctors became concerned that Pike would deteriorate further, and would soon be unable to even communicate through blinking the light on his chair. The Talosians, due to their continued telepathic link with Pike, were soon aware of Pike's condition. In early 2267, the Talosians sent a message to Spock, Pike's former science officer, and summoned him to Starbase 11. The Talosians asked Spock to bring Pike to them on Talos IV.

Spock beamed Pike on board the Enterprise, and then commandeered the ship. Spock programmed the ship's computer to take the ship to Talos, locking it so that any attempt to stop the ship would short out the life support systems. Captain Kirk was determined not to lose his ship, and followed the Enterprise in a shuttle. Accompanying Kirk was what was later to be revealed as an illusion of Commodore Mendez.

Captain Pike2267

Pike, crippled by radiation.

Using the fiction of a court martial to distract Kirk from regaining control of the Enterprise too soon, the ship headed for Talos IV. The Talosians showed Kirk why Pike should be allowed to live out his life on Talos. Upon reaching the planet, the illusion of Mendez disappeared. At about the same time, Starfleet contacted Kirk and told him that not only would they not be taking any action against Spock, but also would allow contact with Talos IV on this occasion. The Talosians extended an invitation to Pike to live with them, unfettered by his physical body. Pike returned to Talos IV, where he would be reunited with Vina and given the illusion of full health. (TOS episode: "The Menagerie")

On Talos, Pike and Vina lived a life of illusion, freeing them from their ruined bodies. But soon, the illusions came to feel empty to them. So, Pike, still an explorer at heart, looked for a way to give his life meaning again. He found it in the abandoned technology of the Talosian race. He studied their history, their rise to power eons ago, and their fall when the illusions they had created consumed them. Pike also learned the Talosians' mental abilities. With the Talosians' help, he repaired the equipment that had manipulated the environment long ago, and started the world back on the road to new life. The Talosian robots even built a home for Pike and Vina in a reclaimed part of the surface.

Pike also studied the ancient Talosians' medical techniques. Using them, he and Vina finally were able to have the only thing missing in their lives – a child. Phillip Joshua Pike was born in 2276, ten years after his father had returned to Talos.

In 2290, then-Captain Spock made a return visit to Talos. He had been sent by Starfleet to offer Pike a way to return home – to undergo an experimental procedure that would put Pike's brain inside a partly-cloned, partly-bionic body. After Phillip attacked Spock out of fear that his father would leave forever, Pike refused the offer, and remained on Talos with his wife and son. By now, the retired Fleet captain sported a full beard, a stark contrast to the scarred face Spock last saw. (TOS comic: "Door in the Cage")

On Talos, Pike helped inspire the Talosians to reclaim the surface of their planet and rebuild their former culture. Pike had died sometime prior to 2320, but by then Talos had again become a thriving world, and Pike (in a recorded message, relayed after his death) appealed to Spock – now an ambassador – to take some of his ashes back to Earth, and to help bring Talos into the Federation. (TOS novel: Burning Dreams)

Legacy[]

The shuttlecraft Chris Pike was stationed aboard the USS Enterprise-D. (TNG episode: "The Most Toys")

In 2379, when James T. Kirk found himself at the nexus of the Bajoran wormhole, the last of the Prophets to greet him did so wearing Pike's face. (ST - The Q Conflict comic: "Issue 4")

By the late 24th century, the Christopher Pike Medal of Valor has been awarded to officers (usually with the rank of Captain) for uncommon acts of bravery in the line of Starfleet duty. (DS9 episodes: "Tears of the Prophets", "Take Me Out to the Holosuite")

Pike City on Cestus III was a re-built, colonial capital named in his honor. (DS9 episode: "Family Business")

Sometime before 2381, Pike's birthday had become a national holiday in the Federation. Growing up, Brad Boimler deeply admired Captain Pike, even dressing up as him for Halloween on one occassion. (SNW episode: "Those Old Scientists")
