[[Lieutenant]] '''Matthew Harold''' was a [[Human]] [[Starfleet]] [[officer]] stationed on the [[outpost]] on [[planet]] [[Cestus III]] in the [[2260s]].

==History==
In [[2267]], he was assigned to escort a [[time travel|temporally displace]]d [[Captain]] [[Jean-Luc Picard]] (using the alias [[Dixon Hill]]) around the settlement on Cestus III.  Several [[day]]s later he would be the only survivor of the [[Gorn]] attack on that settlement. ({{n|TNG|{{a|Requiem (TNG novel)|Requiem}}}}, {{e|TOS|Arena}})

===Background===
Harold was played by actor Tom Troupe. Kirk identified Harold as a lieutenant, despite the lack of rank insignia on his uniform, possibly indicating he was a [[lieutenant junior grade]]. His uniform was a rare black-collared variant of the beige [[operations division]] uniform style, also seen on [[Commander]] [[Hansen (Commander)|Hansen]] in {{e|TOS|Balance of Terror}}. In his episodic appearance, Harold's [[surname]] was given in the credits only and not in dialogue. His given name of Matthew was only from his novel appearance.
