Christopher "Chris" Pike was a 23rd century male Human Starfleet officer, born in Mojave on Earth and considered one of the most highly decorated starship captains in Starfleet history. He rose from test pilot and first officer to command of the USS Enterprise in 2250.
As captain of the Enterprise, Pike led its early five-year mission, survived a harrowing encounter with the telepathic Talosians, and briefly commanded the USS Discovery during the crisis of the red bursts. Steadfast and principled, he chose Una Chin-Riley as his first officer and mentored a young science officer named Spock.
