Earl Wyndham

Starfleet admiral in charge of assigning personnel to the Secondprize. Rydell's first assignment as captain of the Secondprize was to take Wyndham to a ceremony on Lodgibax. During the trip, Wyndham went nuts, stole a shuttle, and took it to a secret research base hidden inside an asteroid field. Rydell and Hawkins followed and found themselves trapped in a reality designed by Wyndham's diseased mind. Rydell and Hawkins managed to escape, but Wyndham had disappeared. In his ramblings, Wyndham often spoke of condors. ("The Hawkins Incident" [REJ]) ( Admiral Wyndham's name is yet another "Twin Peaks" reference.)
