Leland

"Because I am not Starfleet. We are far more resourceful. That's how we found you.  And don't worry...we know how to keep a secret."

- Leland

Leland was an antagonist introduced in a bonus scene from the Star Trek: Discovery episode Will You Take My Hand.

He was portrayed by Alan Van Sprang.

Leland was a member of the unsanctioned United Federation of Planets agency Section 31. Shortly after the end of the Federation-Klingon War of 2256-57 he disguised himself as a Trill and travelled to the Klingon home world of Qo'noS. There he located the mirror universe version of Philippa Georgiou, who was running a bar in the Orion embassy on Qo'noS.

Once there he approached the mirror Georgiou and made her an offer to join Section 31, explaining that even though there was a cease fire in place the galaxy was still a dangerous place, and that Georgiou could still influence the galaxy. Giving her a black Starfleet delta, he welcomed her to Section 31.
