The stern holographic housekeeper of Lord Burleigh's manor in Captain Janeway's Gothic holonovel, who resents the new governess and later turns up in a telepathic hallucination.
Mrs. Templeton is a character in the holonovel that Kathryn Janeway plays for relaxation, in which she takes the part of a governess newly arrived at a brooding English country house. The housekeeper is introduced in the first-season Voyager episode Cathexis.
Templeton runs the household of the widowed Lord Burleigh and makes plain from the start that she does not care for the newcomer, warning her away from parts of the house.
In the second-season episode Persistence of Vision, characters from the story begin to appear outside the holodeck. Mrs. Templeton comes at Janeway with a knife in her quarters, one of the illusions created by the telepathic Bothan to overwhelm the crew.
