Doctor Jo'Bril is the main antagonist of the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Suspicions".
He was portrayed by James Horan, who also played Tosin in Star Trek: Voyager and Future Guy in Enterprise and voiced Scar in Kingdom Hearts II and Disney Dreamlight Valley.
Biography[]
Jo'Bril was a Takaran scientist, who claimed to have spent years studying solar plasma reactions. He was one of a group of scientists who travelled to the Enterprise at Doctor Crusher's invitation to evaluate the work of Doctor Reyga, a Ferengi scientist who claimed to have developed a metaphasic shield that could protect a ship inside the corona of the star. Jo'Bril had been conducting similar research in secret and hoped to discredit Reyga so no-one else would develop the technology. He volunteered to pilot a shuttle equipped with the shield into the corona of a nearby star as an objective observer.
Jo'Bril set off in the shuttle with his journey being monitored by the scientists and the bridge crew aboard the Enterprise. At first, the test appeared successful as he flew into the corona. However, Jo'Bril then deliberately sabotaged the shield, causing increased baryon levels aboard the shuttle. Although Jo'Bril's robust Takaran physiology meant he suffered no ill effects, he used his species' ability to regulate their own bodies on a cellular level to make it appear as though he had been adversely affected. He piloted the shuttle out of the star and was beamed aboard the Enterprise, where he appeared to die in sickbay. In fact, he was merely feigning death and was fully conscious.
With Reyga refusing to accept his shield's failure and insisting on investigating, Jo'Bril killed him and made it look like suicide. Eavesdropping on Crusher and Nurse Ogawa as they examined his apparent corpse, he heard that Crusher was planning to fly the shuttle on a test run herself to prove the shield worked. Jo'Bril thus slipped out of Sickbay and stowed away aboard the shuttle. Once Crusher had piloted it into the star, he emerged from hiding and held her at gunpoint, noting she had now given him the opportunity to steal the shuttle with the working shield. He intended to make it look to the watching Enterprise that they had been destroyed, then, once they had left, take it back to Takara and develop it as a weapon. Crusher attacked him and managed to get the phaser off him. Blowing a hole in him with it failed to stop him, so Crusher increased the power level and disintegrated him.
Trivia[]
The episode leaves it ambiguous as to whether Jo'Bril killed Reyga or not, but Crusher insists throughout that he was murdered, with Jo'Bril being the most likely candidate.
