Alexander

Platonian who, unlike other Platonians, lacked telekinetic powers. Alexander had a pituitary hormone deficiency, resulting in his short stature and his inability to absorb the chemical kironide from his planet’s native food. Because he had no telekinetic powers, Alexander was forced to act as court buffoon to his fellow Platonians. Alexander befriended the Enterprise landing party in 2268 and eventually left with them.^[1]
