Biography[]

Early life[]

TheEarly Voyagescomic series, and the novelBurning Dreams, provide contradictory information on Pike's early life.

Early Voyages

Christopher Pike was the son of retired Starfleet AdmiralJosh Pike, and was raised inMojave,California,Earth. Josh brought up Chris with a level of tough love that left the father-son relationship somewhat strained. (EVcomic: "The Fallen")

Chris'godfather,Mahirn, was a friend of Josh's. (EVcomic: "The Flat, Gold Forever")

Burning Dreams

Christopher McKinnies was born in Mojave, California in2219, the son of architectWilla McKinnies, and would not know his biological father until adulthood. When Christopher was nine, his mother married terraformerHeston Prescott, and his stepson took his surname.

Actor Jeffrey Hunter, who played Pike, was born Henry Herman McKinnies, Jr.

In2228, the family moved to the colony world ofElysium. There, he was befriended byCharlie Pike, an apparent drifter and hired hand, who helped the family in their horse-breeding endeavor. Willa and Heston died in2231 when intense wildfires swept across Elysium. While aboard a Starfleet ship aiding rescue operations on Elysium, Chris learned that Charlie was a Starfleet petty officer who had been on extended leave. Pike brought Christopher back to Mojave, to the home he shared with his wife,Hobelia. Charlie also broughtTango, a horse that Chris and Charlie had been raising, back to Mojave, as well. The day after Christopher's thirteenth birthday, the couple formally adopted him, and gave him the surnamePike. Pike would later learn that Charlie Pike was actually his biological father. (TOSnovel:Burning Dreams)

Early career[]

Pike enrolled in Starfleet Academy after Starfleet officerAlexander Marcus convinced him to join Starfleet in2223, receiving his commissionfour years later. (TOSmovie &novelization:Star Trek Into Darkness)

The events around Marcus recruiting Pike predate the timeline split in 2233; however, the dates given in other Prime Universe sources give Pike's time at the Academy as post-2233.

Pike attendedStarfleet Academy, and graduated in2241 at the top of his class. Fellow members of his class includedLucien Murat,Akiko Torunaga, andKadish ofVulcan, all of whom also becameStarfleet legends. (TNGnovel:The Forgotten War)

Following his graduation from the Academy,Ensign Pike was assigned to thelight cruiserUSSOlympus. During his service aboard theOlympus, Pike became good friend with the ship'schief engineer,Glenn Pitcairn. (TOSnovel:The Children of Kings)

In2233 while in the rank ofensign he was called to earth to face acourt-martial and takes the rolespecial instructor atStarfleet Academy. A time during which he first metUna Chin-Riley and befriended her. (SNWnovel:Asylum)

According toThe Children of Kings Pike doesn't meet Number One until their assignment to theEnterprise around 2251.

In2246, he held the rank oflieutenant commander, and was temporarily assigned asfirst officer of theUSSAldrin underCaptainKamnach. Pike was forced torelieve Kamnach of duty when the captain launched an unprovoked attack on aVestian ship. Pike was charged with mutiny, but all charges were dismissed following a court-martial, and Pike given a promotion toCommander, and assigned to theUSSYork. (TOSnovel:Burning Dreams)

Pike served as the executive officer of theUSSEnterprise under CaptainRobert April for a time. Here, he met a youngSpock for the first time. (TOSnovella:Crisis on Vulcan,DSCepisode: "Brother")

Pike's third command was theUSSYorktown. (TOSnovel:Vulcan's Glory)

As his command prior to theEnterprise, it would presumably have been on theYorktown that Pike first served alongsideNumber One andDermot Cusack.

At some point, Pike, along with his trusted Yeoman Cusack, were involved with a conflict with theTholians. (EVcomic: "The Fires of Pharos")

Captain of theEnterprise[]

In the months following theGorengar Incident Pike voluntarily tendered his resignation from his post. He was instead offered the command of theEnterprise byAdmiralNoguchi. Pike initially declined not wanting to be involved in further battles. Noguchi pitched him the position would be five-year exploration mission, comparing Pike toFerdinand Magellan. (STnovel:The Children of Kings)

Three months into the five-year mission, theEnterprise under Pike's command, responds to adistress call fromStarbase 18. (STnovel:The Children of Kings)

In2250, CaptainRobert April announced to theUFP Grand Assembly that he was stepping down ascommanding officer of theEnterprise. Pike was given command of theEnterprise, bringing with him Cusack as captain's yeoman, and managing to convince Number One to serve as his XO, rather than pursue her own command. Pike and Cusack shared a drink ofIrish whiskey when they discussed the rest of his senior staff selection, which included continuing members of the crew from April's captaincy, as well as several new faces. April personally walked Pike to theEnterprise in spacedock to give him some words of wisdom before he boarded. Pike commanded theEnterprise for a total of thirteen years, including two five-year missions. (DSCepisode: "Brother",TOSnovels:Final Frontier,Vulcan's Glory;EVcomic: "Flesh of My Flesh";STreference:Star Trek Chronology)

In2250, while on leave at Earth, he metJaneese Carlisle and fell in love. Though forced to leave her as she was entering Starfleet Academy, they maintained subspace contact over the next two-and-a-half years. When theEnterprise returned to Earth in2254, he learned she was in love with another man, and was nearly driven to bitterness and disappointment. (TOSnovel:Vulcan's Glory)

Two years into his command, Pike's science officer was struck down byVirillian toxic fever, just as theEnterprise was about to begin a long term survey of thePathiad Nebulatae. Pike managed to secure the then-Cadet Spock to take on the science-officer role on theEnterprise before proceeding on the mission. (EVcomic: "Flesh of My Flesh")

Onstardate 2252.34 in2254, theEnterprise was diverted from her mission to theMarrat system to investigate some strange goings-on. With theEnterprise acting as bait, the culprit of several disappearances was revealed. Anorganic starship of theNgultor attacked theEnterprise and took Pike hostage, probing his mind causing him to flashback to times gone past, attempting to research the species and population-centers of the region in preparation for their harvest. Fortunately their link worked both ways, and Pike was able to discover their plans, and, with renewed determination, break the connection. Pike was promptly rescued by alanding party lead by Number One, and after being beamed back to theEnterprise, destroyed theNgultor mothership to prevent it reporting back its findings to Ngultor-space. (EVcomic: "Flesh of My Flesh") The incident had lasting effects on Captain Pike, and he still hadn't fully recovered weeks later. (EVcomics: "Our Dearest Blood", "Nor Iron Bars a Cage")

TheEnterprise proceeded to the Marrat system, arriving just in time to drive off ahostile force fromStarbase 13. Proceeding to thePharos siteworld, the site ofProject Pharos, to investigate a loss of communication, theEnterprise came under attack from theIKSVarchas, under command of theKlingonKaaj. With theEnterprise nearly crippled by Kaaj’s advanced tactics, Pike resorted to outside-the-box thinking, and fired on thedilithium-rich planet below. The attack ignited the planet, and gave Kaaj a humiliating defeat; the Klingon retreated, vowing ablood debt of revenge on Pike for his actions. (EVcomic: "The Fires of Pharos")

TheEnterprise's next mission took Pike toRigel VII, where Pike was taken by theRigellian Minister's aideTalza to visit theZemtar fortress the site for a ceremony the next day ratifying the planet's entry into theUFP. Unfortunately, Talza wasRigellian traditionalist, and part of a conspiracy amongst the planet's warrior elite, theKaylar, to stage a coup. The trip to the fortress was a trap, and Pike only just survived an encounter with a Kaylar warrior. Dermot Cusack was less fortunate, and was killed by Talza, who had left Pike to his fate. (EVcomic: "Our Dearest Blood")

TheEnterprise left Rigel forVega colony to take care of others wounded in the Kaylar attacks.En route, theUSSSavannah collected the dead, and delivered Pike's new yeoman,Mia Colt. Pike, still grieving, did not get off to a good start with Colt, reacting badly when, following Cusack's eulogy, she, talking withNano, suggested the outcomes of the incident on Rigel VII might not be all bad. (EVcomic: "Nor Iron Bars a Cage")

The Talosians[]

Before reaching Vega, Pike diverted theEnterprise when it detected a distress call fromTalos IV. On the planet, Pike led a landing party which discovered a camp of survivors fromSSColumbia. However, all but one of these survivors was soon revealed to be thetelepathic illusions of the planet's natives, theTalosians, who took Pike into captivity. (TOSepisode: "The Cage")

While his crew tried to rescue him, Pike endured the mental illusions of the Talosians, reliving the events of Rigel VII, but this time with Vina, the one true survivor. The Talosians allowed twoEnterprise crew persons to beam in, Number One and Mia Colt, hoping one of the three women would tempt Pike into staying on Talos IV and mating. While held together, Pike made recompense for his earlier harshness towards his new yeoman. (TOSepisode: "The Cage";EVcomic: "Nor Iron Bars a Cage")

Not willing to be held by the Talosians, Pike resisted, and forced them to allow him and his fellow captives to escape, risking suicide rather than remaining in captivity. During the final confrontation, Vina chose to remain with the Talosians. (TOSepisodes: "The Cage", "The Menagerie")

After the events on Talos IV,Enterprise was recalled to Earth for debriefing, and attacked by Halogians near Jupiter. Pike included Yeoman Colt on the away team, and she successfully established a feedback loop in the Halogian ship's dilithium control matrix to begin a warp core breach, destroying the ship. Pike noted that Colt must have been studying in her spare time, and said that he would recommend her for immediate promotion. (IDWcomic: "Captain's Log: Pike")

Later missions[]

Not long after Talos IV (circa2255), theEnterprise visitedCorinthia VII. Though initially believed to be devoid of any advanced life-forms, a landing party discovered huge subterranean creatures on the planet. It was his experience with the Talosians that helped Pike battle these dangerous life-forms. (TOSshort story: "A Private Anecdote")

Captain Pike was also instrumental in defeating the MerkaanHamesaad Dreen, who had been harassingFederation shipping. Pike convinced Dreen that he wasn't the ideal Starfleet officer, that he could be bought. As part of the plan, Pike talked Dreen into allowingSpock to beam aboard his ship with a gift of dilithium. While Spock was being beamed on board, Pike had his transporter chief beam a security-team onto the Merkaan ship at the same time. The Starfleet security team was soon able to seize Dreen's vessel. Dreen was later allowed to return home in disgrace. (TOSnovel:Legacy)

On a mission to find the missing starshipUSSCortez, Pike led a landing party toDarien 224, where he and the landing party were attacked by a rebel group of the planet's residentVulcan colony. The landing party was rescued by another group from the colony, and soon found themselves theguests of the colony’s leaders. The Vulcans' motives soon became clear – they wished to return toVulcan as conquerors, and required theEnterprise to get there. They sent Pike back in the landing party's shuttlecraft to prepare their ship, certain of his compliance while holding the rest of the landing party hostage. Pike got back to theEnterprise just as the Vulcans on Darien fired a powerfulpsionic weapon to destroy theCortez, which had been commandeered by the opposing Vulcan-faction. The firing of the weapon caused a feedback-loop, which began to destroy Darien. With the planetoid falling apart, Pike had theEnterprise taken into theatmosphere to beam out the rest of the landing party and make a safe getaway. (EV -Cloak and Daggercomics: "Cloak & Dagger", "Cloak and Dagger, Part 2")

Following the events at Darien 224, theEnterprise stopped atDeep Space Station K-12 to undergo repairs. While there Pike received a message from his godfather informing him his father was critically ill. He took one of theEnterprise's shuttlecraft, headed for Earth, to visit his father. Unfortunately, the message had been faked by Pike's Klingon nemesis Kaaj, and he soon found himself under attack. Thanks to the incompetence of Kaaj's crew, he was able to escape immediate capture, and crashlanded on the planetPrairie. He was rescued from the burning wreckage of his shuttle byClaire Thorn, and taken back to herHarvester rig, theRostok. The Klingons soon tracked him down and sent assault-squads to capture him – once again Pike managed to evade them, and left the harvester on askimmer. His escape was short-lived – he and his skimmer were shot down by another assault squad, but were unable to be tracked in thecorn fields. Frustrated and impatient, Kaaj locked onto his assault team's comm-signal and fired from orbit, killing his men and destroying the crops but completely missing Pike. Before Kaaj could destroy enough of the crops to kill Pike, theEnterprise arrived and drove off the Klingons. (EVcomic: "The Flat, Gold Forever")

Following an investigative mission intoOrion space, Pike delivered a shocking report on theOrion slave trade onreference stardate 2/0103.13. This added to a general condemnation of Orion slavery within the Federation, prompting official boycotts, and resulting in theFirst Amendment to theArticles of the Federation, banning slavery within the Federation. (FASA RPGmodule:The Federation)

Captain ofDiscovery[]

TheEnterprise experienced an emergency situation in2257, forcing Pike to send out a priority onedistress call. The distress call was answered by theUSSDiscovery, which was en route toVulcan fromEarth. Dropping out of warp, theDiscovery was met by theEnterprise. Pike took command ofDiscovery, and led alanding party to find survivors from theUSSHiawatha. (DSCepisodes: "Will You Take My Hand?", "Brother")

Pike continued to command theDiscovery throughout 2257, leading a mission to the planetTerralysium. (DSCepisode: "New Eden")

Pike also established first contact with a massive, spacegoing spheroid lifeform and, reluctantly, teamed up with his old friendLeland, aSection 31 operative, to rescueSylvia Tilly from themycelial network. (DSCepisodes: "An Obol for Charon", "Saints of Imperfection")

After recovering Spock and Burnham from Talos IV, Pike went to theSection 31 headquarters, where he and the crew discovered thatControl had gone rogue and killed Section 31's leadership. Discovering that Lt. CommanderAiriam had been corrupted by Control, and was on the station uploading data collected by an ancient sphere into Control, he ordered Burnham and Nhan to eject Airiam into space in order to stop the upload from completing. (DSCepisode: "Project Daedalus")

Pike was able to convince Starfleet to drop all charges against theDiscovery crew, Spock, and Burnham. He then took the ship to Essof IV in a plan to trap theRed Angel in the current timeframe. TheDiscovery crew was able to entrap the being in the23rd century, and learned that the being was actually Commander Burnham's mother, Dr.Gabrielle Burnham. Meeting her for the first time, Gabrielle hinted at thefuture that awaited Pike. (DSCepisodes: "The Red Angel", "Perpetual Infinity")

Following Dr. Burnham's disappearance and Control's escape, Pike and theDiscovery discovered a red burst atBoreth. With ChancellorL'Rell's permission, Pike was allowed to theBoreth's Monastery to retrieve atime crystal and learn about the whereabouts of L'Rell andVoq's son. There, Pike met with the Timekeepers, guardians of the time crystals. The timekeeper monk,Tenavik allowed Pike to attempt to take one. Tenavik revealed himself as VoQ's child and told how the time crystals had made him grown in the months since Tyler was forced to leave Qo'noS. When Pike attempted to retrieve a time crystal, he saw his future where he bound to a wheel chair following a accident. Despite this, Pike was able to return toDiscovery with a time crystal. He also told L'Rell and Tyler about their son, Tenavik. He then contacted theEnterprise to assist them. (DSCepisode: "Through the Valley of Shadows")

To ensure that theSphere's data would not be taken by Control, Pike andDiscovery's senior officers decided to self-destruct the ship. However, the data would not allow itself orDiscovery be destroyed. Captain Pike agreed with Burnham's plan to build their own Red Angel suit and sendDiscovery into the future. Pike commanded theEnterprise as they took on Control's fleet with several shuttles and aid from both theKelpiens and theKlingons. Pike watched as Burnham and theDiscovery entered the wormhole. Following theDiscovery's disappearance and Control's destruction, Pike along with Una, Spock and Tyler debriefed Starfleet about the event. They all chose to lie, claiming thatDiscovery had been destroyed and the blame rested with Section 31. (DSCepisode: "Such Sweet Sorrow")

Return to theEnterprise[]

Following the departure of the USSDiscovery into the far future, Pike eventually returned to theEnterprise after she was repaired. When Chin-Riley was arrested for illegalIllyrian genetic modifications in2259, Pike decided to try and help her by learning more about the Illyrians' modifications. Pike and theEnterprise's crew were able to get help from GovernorDa-Kil ofPryllia.(SNWepisode: "A Quality of Mercy";SNW -The Illyrian Enigmacomics: "Issue 1", "Issue 2", "Issue 3", "Issue 4")

In2261, the starship underwent a yearlongrefit at Earth, and Captain Pike found himself temporarily deskbound. In2262, during the later stages of the refit-process, Pike visited the parents of Vina inParis, France, and subsequently resumed command of the starship. Later in the year, theEnterprise encountered theKan'ess, a race of reptilian hunters, and Pike was, for a time, held captive as a pet by one of their leaders. (TOSnovel:Burning Dreams)

In the fall of2263, the starshipEnterprise under Pike intervened in a space battle atBardeezi Prime against the mysterious cylinder-ships of an unknown race called theAgni. During the confrontation (viewed as a hostile incursion into Federation space), theheavy cruiserUSSKongo was severely damaged, and itsfirst officer killed. (TOSnovel:The Captain's Oath)

Some time in2264, Pike'sEnterprise located an ancient Earth vessel (seemingly launched back in the20th century) in deep space, commanded by the human pioneerCavor. (TOS -New Visionscomic: "The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner")

Fleet Captain Pike[]

In late2264, following the end of his second five-year mission aboard theEnterprise, Pike accepted a promotion toFleet Captain, following the conclusion of final negotiations with the Agni species, and informedCommodoreRobert Wesley of his decision, as well as his formal recommendation to officially turn command of theEnterprise over to James T. Kirk, who had recently impressed Pike by successfully resolved the mounting Agni-crisis with a minimum of bloodshed.

However, Pike completed the starship's then-current tour of duty prior to the command-handover, a process which took until the following spring (of2265). Unfortunately, this also meant that he had to step down as captain of theEnterprise, but Pike felt that his former starship was now in good hands with Captain Kirk. (TOSepisode: "The Menagerie",TOSnovels:The Captain's Oath,Enterprise: The First Adventure)

Shortly after his promotion, Pike was a guest at a conference onBabel, reflecting bitterly about how his promotion had led to becoming a little-known celebrity at tedious diplomatic receptions. Nevertheless, he uncovered criminal activities bya Tellarite delegate with the peculiar aid ofLeata, anOrion slave girl/assassin/bounty hunter. By this point, Pike declared that he had been mind-controlled by thebest and knew all the tricks, and was able to resist an Orion woman'spheromones and persuasion. (TOScomic: "Alien Spotlight: Orions")

In2265, aboard theUSSTereshkova, he participated in a joint Starfleet–Trill study of a roguecomet in the Trill system. At the request of Trill scientistAudrid Dax, he agreed to keep the discovery of aparasitic life form inside that comet classified. Pike's reports on the encounter were added to the Starfleet fileXENO-02884/1. Pike was assigned to Starbase 11 at the time. (DS9 -The Lives of Daxshort story: "Sins of the Mother",DS9 -Mission Gammanovel:Lesser Evil)

Tragedy and new life[]

In 2266, Pike decided to participate in a cadet training cruise on aClass J starship. Pike told his parents that he did not expect to be gone overly long. Before leaving on the trip, Pike told CommodoreMendez of his plans. Mendez expressed concern over Pike performing the inspection, feeling that Class J ships had design flaws, and should have been retired from service years ago. Pike downplayed the concerns, and joked with Mendez that the latter would probably get in trouble for criticizing the Class J ships on an open subspace frequency. (TOSnovel:Burning Dreams)

Pike soon left to take part in a training cruise on theClass J starship captained by his former yeoman J.M. Colt. During the trip, an encounter with theHalogians caused a structural rupture that flooded the ship withdelta radiation. Pike acted to save the cadets who couldn't leave engineering on their own, taking debilitating doses ofradiation in the process. In order to keep the ship from being irradiated, the isolation systems engaged, trapping Pike in engineering. His life was saved, but he was confined to a life-support wheelchair and left unable to speak, other than by the simple blinking of a light on his chair. While technically Pike should have been removed from the active-duty lists, Mendez and his other fellow officers couldn't bring themselves to do so. (TOScomic: "Captain's Log: Pike" andDSCepisode: "Through the Valley of Shadows")

Startrek.com states that the ship Pike was on when he had his accident was theUSSRepublic.

Commodore Mendez gave Pike a room in the top floor of the medical wing so that he could look out over the starbase and surrounding lands. Mendez also kept in contact with Charlie and Hobelia – who had been asked by Pike not to travel across the galaxy to retrieve him if he suffered such an accident. Charlie and Hobelia began making arrangements to see if Pike could be brought back to them onEarth.

Doctors became concerned that Pike would deteriorate further, and would soon be unable to even communicate through blinking the light on his chair. The Talosians, due to their continued telepathic link with Pike, were soon aware of Pike's condition. In early2267, the Talosians sent a message toSpock, Pike's formerscience officer, and summoned him toStarbase 11. The Talosians asked Spock to bring Pike to them on Talos IV.

Spock beamed Pike on board theEnterprise, and then commandeered the ship. Spock programmed the ship's computer to take the ship to Talos, locking it so that any attempt to stop the ship would short out the life support systems. Captain Kirk was determined not to lose his ship, and followed theEnterprise in a shuttle. Accompanying Kirk was what was later to be revealed as an illusion of Commodore Mendez.

Using the fiction of acourt martial to distract Kirk from regaining control of theEnterprise too soon, the ship headed for Talos IV. The Talosians showed Kirk why Pike should be allowed to live out his life on Talos. Upon reaching the planet, the illusion of Mendez disappeared. At about the same time, Starfleet contacted Kirk and told him that not only would they not be taking any action against Spock, but also would allow contact with Talos IV on this occasion. The Talosians extended an invitation to Pike to live with them, unfettered by his physical body. Pike returned to Talos IV, where he would be reunited with Vina and given the illusion of full health. (TOSepisode: "The Menagerie")

On Talos, Pike and Vina lived a life of illusion, freeing them from their ruined bodies. But soon, the illusions came to feel empty to them. So, Pike, still an explorer at heart, looked for a way to give his life meaning again. He found it in the abandoned technology of the Talosian race. He studied their history, their rise to power eons ago, and their fall when the illusions they had created consumed them. Pike also learned the Talosians' mental abilities. With the Talosians' help, he repaired the equipment that had manipulated the environment long ago, and started the world back on the road to new life. The Talosian robots even built a home for Pike and Vina in a reclaimed part of the surface.

Pike also studied the ancient Talosians' medical techniques. Using them, he and Vina finally were able to have the only thing missing in their lives – a child.Phillip Joshua Pike was born in2276, ten years after his father had returned to Talos.

In2290, then-CaptainSpock made a return visit to Talos. He had been sent by Starfleet to offer Pike a way to return home – to undergo an experimental procedure that would put Pike's brain inside a partly-cloned, partly-bionic body. After Phillip attacked Spock out of fear that his father would leave forever, Pike refused the offer, and remained on Talos with his wife and son. By now, the retiredFleet captain sported a fullbeard, a stark contrast to the scarred face Spock last saw. (TOScomic: "Door in the Cage")

On Talos, Pike helped inspire theTalosians to reclaim the surface of their planet and rebuild their former culture. Pike had died sometime prior to2320, but by then Talos had again become a thriving world, and Pike (in a recorded message, relayed after his death) appealed to Spock – now anambassador – to take some of his ashes back to Earth, and to help bring Talos into the Federation. (TOSnovel:Burning Dreams)

Legacy[]

TheshuttlecraftChris Pike was stationed aboard theUSSEnterprise-D. (TNGepisode: "The Most Toys")

In2379, whenJames T. Kirk found himself at the nexus of theBajoran wormhole, the last of theProphets to greet him did so wearing Pike's face. (ST -The Q Conflictcomic: "Issue 4")

By the late24th century, theChristopher Pike Medal of Valor has been awarded to officers (usually with the rank ofCaptain) for uncommon acts of bravery in the line ofStarfleet duty. (DS9episodes: "Tears of the Prophets", "Take Me Out to the Holosuite")

Pike City onCestus III was a re-built, colonial capital named in his honor. (DS9episode: "Family Business")

By2378, a memorial to Pike had been erected in his nativeMojave, one Spock paid tribute following the Day of Blood. (DFT -Another Piece of the Actioncomic: "Part 1")

When Spock returned toTalos IV not long after, Pike's image was used to first try and manipulate him into surrendering theUSSDefiant and later to try and appeal to Spock's morals and allow theTalosians to leave their homeworld. While Spock saw through the former attempt, his memories of Pike made him agree that the Talosians should be allowed to venture beyond their world. (DFT -Another Piece of the Actioncomic: "Part 3")

Sometime before2381, Pike's birthday had become a national holiday in the Federation. Growing up,Brad Boimler deeply admired Captain Pike, even dressing up as him forHalloween on one occassion. (SNWepisode: "Those Old Scientists")
