A Mintakan villager who joins the hunt for the injured Federation anthropologist Palmer and is caught up in the village's sudden revival of belief in the Overseer.
Hali is a Mintakan who appears in the third-season episode Who Watches the Watchers, set in 2366.
He belongs to the Bronze Age village led by Nuria. When Liko returns from the Enterprise's sickbay claiming to have been raised from the dead by a being called the Picard, the old stories of the Overseers are revived, and the discovery of the stranger Palmer seems to confirm them. Hali is one of the villagers who go out searching and who take part in the anxious debate about what the Overseer wants of them.
Riker and Troi, disguised as Mintakans, move among Hali and his neighbours trying to undo the damage, until Picard brings Nuria aboard and finally proves to the village that he is mortal.
