Dolim was a major antagonist during the third season of Star Trek: Enterprise. He was a Xindi-Reptilian who commanded his race's military forces and represented them on the Xindi Council. In that capacity, he provided a voice pushing for the swift and total destruction of the Human species, in response to intelligence indicating that Humans would be responsible for the destruction of the Xindi homeworld in the 26th century. He was portrayed by Scott MacDonald.
History[]
When the Xindi Council learned from the Sphere-Builders of the threat from Earth, Dolim became an advocate of swift and brutal action against the Humans, as a preemptive strike. He also pushed for the development of a bioweapon, in addition to the large-scale weapon being developed by Xindi-Primate Degra, although the Council disapproved this plan. Despite this, Dolim authorized one of his officers, Damron, to secretly begin working on the bioweapon, using physiological data provided by Rajiin, an alien female whom Dolim had placed on Enterprise NX-01 in 2153.
In 2154, Dolim oversaw the violent interrogation of Jonathan Archer, Enterprise's captain, who had been captured at Azati Prime while attempting to destroy the Xindi weapon prior to its deployment. Dolim became frustrated, however, when Degra ordered the interrogation halted in order to confer with Archer as to Archer's assertion that the Xindi had been misled into attacking Earth. Dolim later ordered Enterprise attacked without authorization from the Council, an act which was halted by Degra's intervention. Later, when Archer came before the Council to present his case that the Sphere-Builders were, in fact, preparing for an invasion, Dolim feigned interest, in an attempt to buy time with which to appropriate the weapon and deploy it without approval. In the meantime, Dolim had learned that, in order to protect the secrecy of an alliance which Degra had formed with the Enterprise crew, Degra had ordered the destruction of a Reptilian warship. Confronting Degra as the Council was in recess, Dolim stabbed him to death, promising to do the same to Degra's wife and children.
Along with the Insectoids, Dolim took control of the weapon, using a subspace vortex to transport it to Earth. However, since the weapon had been designed with a failsafe which prevented its launch unless three launch codes were used, Dolim ordered Enterprise's communications officer, Hoshi Sato, abducted, for the purpose of forcing her to bypass the Aquatic encryption protocols. En route to Earth, Dolim had Sato injected with a series of parasites which invaded her neocortex, which reconfigured her synaptic pathways to make her compliant. Although the procedure initially appeared to be working, Dolim was surprised to find that Sato was much more resistant than he initially believed, and had actually added a layer of encryption, making it impossible for the Reptilians to access the weapon's arming matrix. Despite this, they were eventually able to force Sato to decrypt the third code, and proceeded to initiate the pre-arming protocols.
While in the vortex, Dolim received a communication from the Insectoid vessel escorting the weapon, indicating that the Insectoids were beginning to doubt the Sphere-Builders' true intentions. Dolim responded to this by ordering the Insectoid ship destroyed, unwilling to risk any more interference in his mission to annihilate Earth. Upon emerging from the vortex, Dolim ordered the immediate destruction of the research post Yosemite-Three. Immediately thereafter, Dolim's ship came under attack by an Andorian vessel commanded by Shran, who was attempting to assist the Humans in their efforts to stop the weapon. When Dolim realized, however, that the Andorians were attempting to provide cover for Captain Archer and a team from Enterprise to board the weapon, Dolim transported aboard and engaged in physical combat with Archer, attempting to prevent him from initiating a self-destruct. Dolim initially had the upper hand in the fight, possessing superior strength and stamina, but he was ultimately killed when Archer placed an explosive charge on his back and subsequently detonated it, blowing Dolim to pieces.
