American actor who played Ryn, the mutilated Andorian prisoner freed from the Emerald Chain who becomes an ally of Book and the Discovery crew in the third season of Star Trek: Discovery.
Noah Averbach-Katz is an American actor who joined Star Trek: Discovery in its third season as the Andorian Ryn.
Ryn is first seen in Scavengers as a labourer in an Emerald Chain salvage yard whose antennae were cut off as punishment for leading a revolt; he helps Book, Burnham and Georgiou escape. In The Sanctuary he is hunted by Osyraa and reveals why: he knows the Chain is running out of dilithium.
The character stays aboard Discovery and develops a friendship with Detmer and the bridge crew. Averbach-Katz's final appearance is in There Is a Tide..., where Osyraa has Ryn killed after he refuses to cooperate with her seizure of the ship.
