Ralph Offenhouse was a human male born on Earth in 1939. He made a career as a financier.
Offenhouse helped fund the scientists who attempted to create an improved human being, which resulted in the creation of Khan and the other supermen of the late 20th century. His son would be a casualty of the conflict in 1995.
Offenhouse died of inoperable terminal cardiomyopathy. Following his death in 1994, he was cryogenically frozen. His remains were placed on board a spacecraft along with several other people - including Claire Raymond and L.Q. "Sonny" Clemonds.
Eventually, in 2364 the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D) encountered the spacecraft containing the frozen bodies. Only the bodies of Offenhouse, Raymond, and Clemonds were intact - the bodies of the others had decayed during the long journey. Lt. Commander Data and Lt. Worf brought the bodies back to the Enterprise, where they were then thawed out.
While Offenhouse and the others were being revived, the Enterprise began to travel to the Netural Zone to confront a Romulan warbird. Offenhouse found himself and the others in the middle of a tense situation, which he made worse with demands to know what was going on, and even going so far as to leave his quarters and go to the main bridge just before the Romulans revealed themselves. Before being escorted off the bridge, he was able to determine that the Romulans had no idea who was attacking their outposts near the Neutral Zone. The Romulans announced that they were returning to the galactic scene after being silent for over half a century.
Following this confrontation with the Romulans the three 20th century humans returned to Earth on board the USS Charleston. Before leaving the Enterprise, Captain Jean-Luc Picard told Offenhouse that money no longer had the meaning it once did to humans, and to use the opportunity he received to better himself.
After returning to Earth, Offenhouse continued to have difficulty adjusting to 24th century life. He used his knowledge to help the Federation in their dealings with the Ferengi, and would later be offered a position as a Federation Ambassador.
