The Romantic poet appears as a hologram in Darkling, where the Doctor borrows his passion and creativity for a self-improvement project and unwittingly takes on his more reckless traits as well.
George Gordon, Lord Byron, the English Romantic poet of the early nineteenth century, appears as a holodeck recreation in the Voyager episode Darkling.
The Doctor chooses him as one of several models for a personality enhancement project, hoping to add something of the poet's passion and eloquence to his own bedside manner. At the start of the episode he is seen in conversation with holograms of Byron and Gandhi.
B'Elanna Torres, examining the altered programme, points out that Byron's subroutines bring instability and appetite along with poetry. The mixture of such traits from several figures produces a malevolent alternate personality in the Doctor, which menaces Kes and a visiting Mikhal Traveller before Torres strips the additions out.
