Malcolm Reed [1] |
| Species : |
Humans |
Reed is English, and posseses the reserve and dry wit typical of many from that part of Earth. [2] His considerable talents have been hard pressed to get Enterprise's weapons systems working at full capacity. [3] His family have traditionally joined Britain's Royal Navy, a tradition Reed broke by joining Starfleet. [4] His parents live in Kota Baharu, Malaysia. His family includes a sister, an uncle and two unmarried aunts. Reed is allergic to pollen, oak, dust mites, tropical grasses and various plant enzymes, including bromelin. His favourite food is pineapple. Reed can be a very stubborn person, and once went without food for a week as part of a bet. [3] He is something of a pessimist, although he describes himself as a realist. [5]Reed struggled to deal with the stationing of a squad of Military Assault Command Operatives on board Enterprise during its mission against the Xindi during 2153/4. He believed that Major Hayes thought Enterprise's security force inferior to his own troops, and the two had a difficult time working together. [6] The situation eventually grew so bad that the two engaged in a fistfight, prompting a reprimand from Captain Archer. Fortunately this incident seemed to clear the air between the two a little. [7]
