Daniels (Star Trek) - Mallora

Mallora
Species Xindi Primate
Affiliation Xindi Council
Portrayed by Tucker Smallwood

Mallora was a Xindi primate, played by Tucker Smallwood. The character was never named onscreen, but is called "Mallora" in The Expanse by J.M. Dillard, the novelization of Star Trek: Enterprise episodes "The Expanse" and "The Xindi". Smallwood came up with his own name for his character, "Depac", based on the celebrity Deepak Chopra. This is the name he puts on convention autographs.

Mallora was the chairman of the Xindi Council. He was also a friend of Degra for many years.

Circa 2150, the Xindi Council were told that humans were going to destroy them in the future. Degra was assigned to be the head of the planet-destroying weapon project. Mallora, like several other council members, rejected Reptilian scientist Damron's proposal to construct a bioweapon.

Late in the weapon's construction, Degra and Jannar were shown evidence that if they destroyed Earth, it would only ensure their own extinction. Mallora was skeptical that the humans manufactured the "evidence" in order to save their world. Later, he became a close ally of the humans, and helped them destroy the superweapon. He later assured T'Pol that Captain Jonathan Archer's sacrifice would not be forgotten, and that the Xindi Council would reconvene.

Smallwood explained in an interview that the makeup used on him created serious eye problems, as the extensive paste and spray used to apply the makeup clogged his tear ducts.
