St. John Talbot was a human who lived in the 23rd century. Sometimes he would address himself formally as "Singeon" Talbot, (ie: St. Clair=Sinclair). This is the traditional British pronunciation of the name St. John; Talbot also spoke with an English accent. A diplomat, Talbot was stationed on Nimbus III as the United Federation of Planets representative to that world.
In the wake of a diplomatic mission that ended badly, Talbot found that he had fallen out of favor within the Federation. Broken by his experiences, he began drinking heavily, and was unhappy with his new assignment to Nimbus III.
In 2287, the Vulcan renegade Sybok raised a force which he called the Galactic Army of Light, and raided Paradise City. In the process Sybok captured Talbot, the Klingon representative Korrd, and the newly arrived Romulan represntative Caithlin Dar. Along with the others, Sybok forced Talbot to face his deepest pain, and in gratitude Talbot willingly followed Sybok on his mission to the center of the galaxy.
