Doctor Temec was a native of a planet with a pre-warp society visited by Enterprise NX-01 in 2152. Dr. Temec conducted a detailed medical examination of Captain Jonathan Archer and Lieutenant Malcolm Reed after the two were captured while attempting to recover a lost communicator. He was astonished to find their physiology distinctly different to that of his own people, and claimed that the prisoners belonged to another species. Temec suggested to General Gosis that the prisoners were alien visitors, though he later conceded that they could be genetically modified citizens of the planet created as super-soldiers by the Alliance, another political power on the planet that were enemies of Temec's senior officers.
