List of Star Trek: Discovery characters

{{Short description|none}} {{DISPLAYTITLE:List of ''Star Trek: Discovery'' characters}} ''Star Trek: Discovery'' is an American television series created for Paramount+ (originally known as CBS All Access) by Bryan Fuller and Alex Kurtzman. Set roughly a decade before the events of the original ''Star Trek'' series and separate from the timeline of the concurrent feature films, ''Discovery'' explores the Federation–Klingon war while following the crew of the USS ''Discovery''. It premiered on September 24, 2017.

The series stars Sonequa Martin-Green as Michael Burnham, a Starfleet mutineer who is given a war-time field assignment as a science specialist on the USS ''Discovery'' and the adopted sister of original series character Spock. Doug Jones, Shazad Latif, Anthony Rapp, and Mary Wiseman round out the main cast. They were joined by Jason Isaacs for the first season and Anson Mount for the second. Characters seen previously in ''Star Trek'' also appear in recurring roles, including Spock's father Sarek, portrayed by James Frain, and Harry Mudd, portrayed by Rainn Wilson.

The following list includes ''Star Trek: Discovery''{{'}}s main cast, as well as all guest stars deemed to have had recurring roles throughout the series, and a supplementary list of other noteworthy guests.

==Main characters== ===Michael Burnham=== thumb|upright|Sonequa Martin-Green {{main|Michael Burnham}} Michael Burnham (portrayed by Sonequa Martin-Green) is a science specialist aboard the USS ''Discovery''. Burnham was first officer of the USS ''Shenzhou'', where she was referred to as "number one",<ref name="Martin-Green2" /><ref name="FullerRadioAug2016" /> until she was convicted of mutiny and sentenced to life in prison. ''Discovery'' captain Gabriel Lorca, brings Burnham back to duty with a temporary wartime assignment as a scientist on his ship. Burnham was raised following Vulcan culture and traditions by Sarek, and is the first human to attend the Vulcan Learning Center and Vulcan Science Academy.<ref name="Martin-GreenJun2017" /><ref name="SDCC17Panel" />

Series co-creator Bryan Fuller had anticipated casting announcements for the show in October 2016,<ref name="FullerRadioAug2016" /> but no announcements had been made by the end of that month. The majority of the series main characters were believed to have been cast by then, but no actress had been cast for the series' lead role. This was a source of "some internal stress" at CBS, with the casting of the character deemed "a far tougher assignment" than expected.<ref name="ChangeOct2016" /> Several African American and Latina actresses were being looked at for the role, with CBS "not seeking a huge star and [preferring] a fresh face for the part."<ref name="YeohVariety" /> Martin-Green was cast in the role in December, which was revealed with the character's production codename "lieutenant commander Rainsford".<ref name="Martin-Green" /><ref name="RainsfordCodename" /> Her casting was officially confirmed in April 2017, following the end of her run on ''The Walking Dead'', with the character's actual name also revealed.<ref name="Martin-Green2" /> The character has an inner conflict due to being raised by Sarek, with showrunner Aaron Harberts explaining that many of the actresses tested for the role "either went way too robotic and chilly or way too emotional", but Martin-Green was "able to be aloof but warm; logical but able to surrender her emotional side to the audience."<ref name="Martin-GreenJun2017" />

Since Sarek's son Spock never mentioned a sister in the original series, executive producer Alex Kurtzman said that the specifics of Burnham's backstory would be revealed in a way that would not break the existing canon continuity.<ref name="SDCC17Panel" /> As the show's protagonist, Burnham was not made a starship captain, like those of previous ''Star Trek'' series, "to see a character from a different perspective on the starship—one who has different dynamic relationships with a captain, with subordinates; it gave us richer context",<ref name="FullerAug2016" /> though she does become captain of ''Discovery'' at the end of the last episode of season three. In the first two episodes of the series (stripped of rank by the end of episode two), she is referred to as Number One to honor the character of the same name portrayed by Majel Barrett in the original 1965 ''Star Trek'' pilot "The Cage",<ref name="Martin-GreenJun2017" /> and was initially pitched to CBS as only being called Number One in the series.<ref name="FullerRadioAug2016" /> Fuller deliberately gave the character a traditionally male name as he did with the female leads of three previous (non-''Star Trek'') productions. Martin-Green decided that the character was named after her biological father.<ref name="TCAAug2017/Film2" />

===Saru=== thumb|upright|Doug Jones {{main|Saru (Star Trek: Discovery) |l1=Saru}} Saru (portrayed by Doug Jones) is a captain serving as first officer of the USS ''Discovery'',<ref name="JonesRapp" /> and the first Kelpien to enter Starfleet.<ref name="Kelpien" /> Saru was introduced in the series premiere as a lieutenant commander serving as chief science officer on the USS ''Shenzhou'', which is rendered a hulk during a battle in the series' second episode.<ref>{{Cite web|url= https://comicbook.com/2017/09/25/star-trek-discovery-episode-2-battle-at-the-binary-stars-spoilers/#3|title=''Star Trek: Discovery'' Episode 2: 'Battle At The Binary Stars' Recap with Spoilers|last=Lovett|first=Jamie|date=September 24, 2017|work=comicbook.com|access-date=January 22, 2018}}</ref> Before the events of "Context Is for Kings", Saru becomes first officer on the USS ''Discovery''.<ref>{{Cite web|url= https://www.ign.com/articles/2017/10/02/star-trek-discovery-context-is-for-kings-review|title=''Star Trek: Discovery'' – 'Context Is for Kings' Review|last=Collura|first=Scott|date=October 1, 2017|work=IGN|access-date=October 2, 2017}}</ref>

In the ''Star Trek: Short Treks'' episode "The Brightest Star", it is revealed that Saru adapted a communication device left behind by the pre-warp Kelpien's oppressors (the Ba'ul), eventually connecting with a young Starfleet officer—Lt. Philippa Georgiou—who obtained permission to "rescue" him from his planet.

Jones was cast as Saru in November 2016.<ref name="JonesRapp"/> Kelpiens, a new species created for ''Discovery'', were hunted as prey on their home planet and thus evolved the ability to sense the coming of death. This skill has given them a reputation for cowardice in the Federation.<ref name="Kelpien"/> Jones was excited to, "from the ground up, develop and find this character and his species" and not have to honor a previous fan-favorite representation.<ref name="JonesJan2017"/> He based Saru's walk on that of a supermodel,<ref name="SDCC17Panel"/> out of necessity thanks to the boots he had to wear to portray the character's hooved feet forcing Jones to walk on the balls of his feet.<ref name="FE17Jones"/> The producers compared Saru to the characters Spock and Data from previous series in the franchise.<ref name="Kelpien"/>

In the Mirror Universe, Saru is a nameless slave stationed on the ISS ''Shenzhou''.

===Ash Tyler and Voq=== thumb|Shazad Latif (2017)|212x212px Voq (portrayed by Shazad Latif) is an albino Klingon, described as being "touched by fate and fire".<ref name="Voq" /><ref name="AfterTrek101"/> He undergoes surgery and personality alterations to disguise himself as Ash Tyler, a human Starfleet lieutenant and former prisoner of war.<ref name="SDCC17Latif" /><ref name="VoqTyler" />

Latif was originally cast in the role of the Klingon Kol in December 2016, before being recast as Tyler at the end of April 2017.<ref name="SDCC17Latif" /><ref name="Latif" /><ref name="FlurryCast" /> Voq was initially credited as being portrayed by Javid Iqbal, an invented actor named for Latif's father, to hide the connection between the characters.<ref name="VoqTyler" /> Latif described his character as "a very complex and painful and deep character",<ref name="SDCC17Latif" /> and noted that "there's a chemistry, a relationship" with Burnham.<ref name="STMag62" /> Latif's accent for Voq is Arabic-inspired, and he tried to maintain "a kind of pharyngealness" to Tyler's American accent.<ref name="VoqTyler" />

===Paul Stamets=== {{Main|Paul Stamets (Star Trek)}} Paul Stamets (portrayed by Anthony Rapp) is a science officer specializing in astromycology (the study of fungi in space). He is married to Hugh Culber.<ref name="JonesRapp" /><ref name="SDCCGalleryFederation2" /> Rapp was revealed to have been cast as Stamets in November 2016.<ref name="JonesRapp" /> He was originally cast in a different, smaller role, but when discussing gay actors who could portray the character Stamets, the executive producers realized that Rapp was the actor they wanted to fill that role instead. He did not audition for either role.<ref name="VoxPreviewEPs" />

Stamets and Culber are jointly the first openly gay characters in a ''Star Trek'' series, and the showrunners "wanted to roll out that character's sexuality the way people would roll out their sexuality in life". Rapp noted that Hikaru Sulu was portrayed as gay in the film ''Star Trek Beyond'', calling that "a nice nod. But in this case, we actually get to see me with my partner in conversation, in our living quarters, you get to see our relationship over time, treated as any other relationship would be treated".<ref name="StametsGay" /> Stamets is inspired by a real-life mycologist of the same name,<ref name="SDCC17Rapp" /> whom Fuller had introduced to the series' writers early on after becoming interested in his research into spores. The character's outlook that physics and biology are quantifiably the same thing also comes from the real Stamets's research and theories.<ref name="AfterTrek102" />

===Sylvia Tilly=== thumb|upright|Mary Wiseman Sylvia Tilly (portrayed by Mary Wiseman) is a cadet in season 1 and in her final year at Starfleet Academy and is assigned to the ''Discovery''.<ref name="Wiseman" /><ref name="SDCC17Wiseman" /> She is assigned to engineering and works under Stamets aboard the ''Discovery'', and becomes roommates there with Burnham.<ref name="SDCC17Wiseman" /> In season 3 Captain Saru made Sylvia Tilly the first officer on board ''Discovery.'' Due to Saru being off of the ship for a long amount of time she took over as captain, but in the final episode she relinquishes the role of acting captain due to Commander Burnham's promotion to captain. During season 4 Tilly served as a lieutenant onboard the USS ''Discovery'' under Captain Burnham before leaving to join Starfleet Academy as a tutor.

Wiseman was cast in March 2017.<ref name="Wiseman" /> Tilly was included to represent people "at the very bottom of this ladder" of the Starfleet hierarchy. She is "the most optimistic … has the biggest heart", and Harberts described her as "sort of the soul of our show".<ref name="VoxPreviewEPs" /> The character was named after showrunner Gretchen J. Berg's two-year-old niece.<ref name="AfterTrek102" /> On February 7, 2018, Wiseman said that Tilly was not written and portrayed as on the autism spectrum, but is personally touched by the fans interpretation and has been praised by autistic trans commentator Jessie Earl for not falling into the tropes of socially isolating from other characters.<ref>{{cite news|first=Keisha|last=Hatchett|title=Is Star Trek: Discovery's Tilly on the Autism Spectrum?|url=https://www.tvguide.com/news/is-star-trek-discoverys-tilly-on-the-autism-spectrum/|date=February 7, 2018|work=TV Guide|access-date=March 3, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|first=Jessie|last=Earl|title=Star Trek's Autistic & Neurodiverse Representation|url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=59BaaifBuFI|date=November 5, 2020|work=YouTube|access-date=March 10, 2021}}</ref>

===Gabriel Lorca=== thumb|upright|Jason Isaacs Gabriel Lorca (portrayed by Jason Isaacs) is captain of the ''Discovery'' in the first season,<ref name="Isaacs" /> a "brilliant military tactician".<ref name="IsaacsJun2017" /> Isaacs joined the series in March 2017,<ref name="Isaacs" /> describing Lorca as "probably more f-d up than any of" the previously seen ''Star Trek'' captains,<ref name="SDCC17Panel" /> and comparing the character to his portrayal of Mike Steele in the film ''Black Hawk Down''. Isaacs was initially given the first two scripts for the series, which Lorca does not appear in, and an early draft of his introduction in the third that was going to be re-written, but agreed to join the series after discussing the series and character with the executive producers.<ref name="IsaacsTVLine103" /> He plays the character with a slight southern U.S. accent,<ref name="IsaacsAug2017" /> wanting to avoid using his own English accent and thus being "a very pale shadow of the brilliant Patrick Stewart". Of the character, Isaacs said: "he's a military man, but he can be immensely charming. I've been privileged enough to work with the [U.S. Army] Rangers at Fort Benning, and no matter where you come from in America, if you train down South where most of the bases are, you pick up some form of a Southern accent. And I wanted something that had subliminal hints at the military."<ref name="IsaacsVariety103" /> Isaacs initially wanted to ad-lib a catchphrase for the character feeling that all ''Star Trek'' captains should have one, coming up with "git'r done" which the writers turned down due to it being widely used and trademarked by Larry the Cable Guy.<ref name="IsaacsAug2017" /> Comparing his character to Captain Georgiou, Isaacs said, "Georgiou is a mother figure, and I am unsentimental and don't see my job as protecting [Burnham] emotionally or any other way. I see her as a very, very useful asset in this war."<ref name="IsaacsVariety103" /> In addition to having a standard captain's ready-room, Lorca also has a room referred to as his "menagerie" where he keeps things that he collects. This includes the skeleton of a Gorn, a species that is apparently first discovered later in the original series, with Harberts feeling that the presence of this skeleton added to the mystery of the character—how did he come about it, and how does the rest of Starfleet not know of the species if he does?<ref name="AfterTrek102" />

===Hugh Culber=== {{main|Hugh Culber}} Hugh Culber (portrayed by Wilson Cruz) is a medical officer of the ''Discovery''. Culber is married to Paul Stamets.<ref name="Cruz" /> They are jointly the first openly gay characters in a Star Trek series. Ash Tyler kills Culber in episode 10 of the first season. Culber later returns to life in season 2 after it is discovered that he was duplicated and trapped within the mycelial network before being rescued. On creating the first gay couple in a ''Star Trek'' series, Cruz said he "felt like it was a long time coming.... What's great about the way that the show is handling it is it's not like we are having a special two-hour episode about gay relationships in space. It's not that. They just happen to be in love, and they happen to be coworkers. And, I hope by the time we get to [the 23rd] century that it will be exactly like that."<ref name="STLV17Actors3" /> In 2019, Hugh Culber was ranked the 10th-sexiest ''Star Trek'' character by Syfy.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.syfy.com/syfywire/definitively-ranking-the-top-12-sexiest-star-trek-characters|title=Definitively ranking the top 12 sexiest Star Trek characters|last=Fleenor|first=S.

===Christopher Pike=== thumb|upright|Anson Mount {{main|Christopher Pike (Star Trek)}} Christopher Pike (portrayed by Anson Mount) is captain of the USS ''Enterprise''. After the first season concluded with the ''Discovery'' receiving a distress call from the ''Enterprise'', specifically from Pike, Harberts expressed interest in exploring that character in the second season, feeling that he had not been seen much in ''Star Trek'' previously and so "there's an interesting opportunity that we might have to delve into and flesh out a character who I think is a pretty darn heroic and selfless captain."<ref name="PikeSpock" /> In April 2018, Mount was cast as Pike, which was described as a "key role" for the season.<ref name="Mount" /> He revealed in July 2018 that he was contracted as a main cast member for the full season.<ref name="MountMain" />

Jeffrey Hunter portrays Captain Pike in footage from the original 1965 ''Star Trek'' pilot "The Cage", used in a recap that plays at the start of the ''Star Trek: Discovery'' season two episode "If Memory Serves".<ref name="CageRecap">{{Cite web |last=Desowitz |first=Bill |date=May 20, 2019 |title='Star Trek: Discovery': Finessing the Daring 'If Memory Serves' Callback to the Original |url=https://www.indiewire.com/2019/05/star-trek-discovery-callback-original-series-pilot-1202143143/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190611080356/https://www.indiewire.com/2019/05/star-trek-discovery-callback-original-series-pilot-1202143143/ |archive-date=June 11, 2019 |access-date=April 4, 2021 |website=IndieWire}}</ref>

=== Cleveland "Book" Booker === Cleveland "Book" Booker (portrayed by David Ajala) is a character introduced in the third season of ''Star Trek: Discovery.'' A resident of the new future created after Control's defeat, he becomes Michael's companion when she goes to the future before the ''Discovery'' itself, and her new love interest. He is also shown to own a cat named Grudge.

=== Nhan === Commander Nhan (portrayed by Rachael Ancheril) is an engineer and security officer. She initially serves on board the ''Enterprise'' but later transfers to the ''Discovery'' along with two of her crewmates. Nhan is later appointed chief of security aboard the ''Discovery''. After arriving in the 32nd century, she begins working for Starfleet Security and leaves ''Discovery'', although she occasionally returns to help her old friends in her new role.

=== Jett Reno === Jett Reno (portrayed by Tig Notaro) is the chief engineer of the USS ''Hiawatha''.<ref name="Notaro" /> Notaro joined the series because of an existing relationship with Kurtzman, who had the part written for the actress.<ref name="NotaroKurtzman" /> The character was originally named Denise Reno but Notaro was able to rename the character and changed it to Jett Reno. Reno possesses a sardonic, deadpan sense of humor, and is often at odds with Stamets. She frequently uses references to 20th-century engineering technology, such as fixing things with duct tape, using a battery-operated power drill, etc.<ref name="NotaroJet" /> It's revealed in the fifth season that she was once a smuggler and worked various odd jobs before joining Starfleet.

On ''Discovery'', Reno is revealed to be a widow whose wife was killed by Klingons during their war with the Federation. In ''Star Trek: Starfleet Academy'', Reno has transferred to the ''Athena'' to pursue a romantic relationship with the Klingon-Jem'Hadar hybrid Lura Thok and she is now a Starfleet Academy instructor.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://screenrant.com/star-trek-lura-thok-jett-reno-romance-discovery-connection/ |title=Star Trek's Newest Romance Has A Connection To Discovery You May Have Missed |date=January 22, 2026 |website=Screen Rant |first=Craig |last=Elvy |access-date=March 14, 2026}}</ref>

=== Adira Tal === [[File:Blu del Barrio in 2024.jpg|thumb|100px|Blu del Barrio]] Adira Tal (portrayed by Blu del Barrio) is an ensign aboard the USS ''Discovery''. Adira is Star Trek’s first non‑binary character and the first human to remain bonded with a Trill symbiont for an extended period. Upon introduction, Adira serves in the United Earth Defense Force but later remains on the USS ''Discovery'', where memory recovery becomes possible. Stamets and Culber eventually take Adira under their wing. During season three, Adira is the only individual able to see Gray Tal, Adira’s boyfriend and the former host of the Tal symbiont. In season four, Adira receives a promotion to ensign on the ''Discovery'' and contributes to calculations related to the DMA crisis. Adira uses they/them pronouns.

=== Gray Tal === Gray Tal (portrayed by Ian Alexander) is a Trill character introduced in season three of Star Trek Discovery. Gray is the former host of the Tal symbiont, which was given to Adira upon his death. During the third season, he appears only to Adira as a separate entity not visible to others. He is later incorporated into a new android body during the fourth season using the same process that had resurrected Jean-Luc Picard, in which he returns to Trill to begin training to be a Trill guardian. Gray eventually breaks up with Adira due to their separate paths and they stay friends.

====L'Rell==== L'Rell (portrayed by Mary Chieffo) becomes the chancellor of the Klingon Empire after being a battle deck commander for a Klingon warship.<ref name="ObiChieffo" /> L'Rell is a member of both the house of T'Kuvma and the house of Mo'Kai, the latter having been first mentioned during ''Star Trek: Voyager''. Chieffo said that because of this, there would be an "interesting exploration of what it is to be of two different ideologies" with the character.<ref name="STLV17Actors" /> Chieffo looked back at past female Klingons seen in ''Star Trek'' for inspiration, and said that she wanted L'Rell to follow in the vein of Grilka from ''Star Trek: Deep Space Nine''.<ref name="STLV17Actors2" />

Surviving her ordeal she forms an odd non-friendship with L'Rell and is later rescued by Burnham and Tyler. Her background is in mental health and psychology, which was vital in breaking Tyler out of a PTSD flashback long enough to aid in the escape from the Sarcophagus ship. After her rescue she returns to Starfleet,<ref name="Brook" /> where she later sacrifices her life to save the Enterprise in the battle against Control-Leland.
