Seth Maslan

Seth Maslan was a villainous Starfleet officer introduced in the Star Trek The Fall novel The Poisoned Chalice.

Maslan had lost family during the 2381 Borg invasion of the Federation. At some point he had become one of the many agents of Galif jav Velk and President Baras Rodirya.

In 2385 Maslan was a Lieutenant serving on board the USS Lionheart. When Christine Vale came on board as a temporary Captain, Maslan attempted to hit on her, and charm his way into her good graces.

When Captain Vale and Andorians were able to force the release of Doctor Julian Bashir from a secret Federation prison, Maslan received orders from Velk to assassinate Dr. Bashir. He very nearly succeeded but due to the intervention of the Lionheart's CMO Bashir was saved from death.

Following his assault on Dr. Bashir, Maslan was locked up in the ship's brig. While he refused to answer many of Vale or Deanna Troi's questions, what Maslan said was enough to convince them that Maslan was working for someone very high up in the Federation government.

After Bashir was delivered into asylum on Andoria, Maslan was taken to Starbase 47 to face formal charges for his attempted murder of Bashir.
