Hand drawn sketche by Robert Blackman in ink on verso script ~ 5 x 8. Fabric sample attached.
Barash was a male alien of an unknown species who lived during the 24th century. As a child, his planet was invaded, and all were killed, except for Barash and his mother, who hid him on Alpha Onias III, where she hoped their species' enemies would never find him. She installed neural scanners and holographic projectors in a cave for Barash to live. They could read his mind and fulfill his desires and needs. However, the fantasies the scanners created were no substitute for real interaction with other sentient beings, and he became very lonely.
In a holographic simulation of the future created in 2367 by Barash, Jean-Luc Riker was the young son of William T. Riker. Jean-Luc Riker was played by Chris Demetral. Propwork Star Trek Auction VIII, 6/4/16, Lot 4 - Robert Blackman.
