The Kzinti Telepath was an unhappy neurotic Kzinti who had a low social status, and who was designated, in accordance to Kzinti culture, by his profession as a telepath. In 2269 he was a member of Chuft-Captain's crew aboard the Traitor's Claw and ordered to sense the mind of Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu. However the lieutenant guarded his mind by thinking of eating vegetables. When the Kzinti crew was testing the Slaver weapon, the Telepath was injured and his pressure suit was damaged and lost air. However, he was taken to the ship by Flyer (the pilot) in time to save his life.
