Kentor

Colony elder on Tau Cygni V

A human colonist of Tau Cygni V and one of the community's senior voices, who has to weigh Gosheven's refusal to leave against Data's warning that the Sheliak are coming.

Kentor is one of the older colonists of Tau Cygni V, the settlement founded by the survivors of the colony ship Artemis. He appears in the third-season episode The Ensigns of Command, set in 2366.
When Data arrives alone to tell the fifteen thousand settlers that the Sheliak hold title to the planet and intend to remove them, the colony's leader Gosheven refuses to abandon ninety years of work. Kentor is among the handful of colonists, alongside Haritath and Ard'rian McKenzie, who are willing to hear the android out.
His part in the story is to show that Gosheven does not speak for everyone. Once Data demonstrates with a single modified phaser how helpless the colony's cherished aqueduct would be against a real attack, the doubters carry the argument and the evacuation is agreed.
