Sam Kirk (Dan Jeannotte)

George Samuel "Sam" Kirk, Jr. was a male Human xenoanthropologist and Starfleet sciences division officer who lived in the 23rd century. He was the older brother of famed Starfleet Captain, James T. Kirk. By 2259, Sam was married to Aurelan and they had three sons.

In 2266, Sam and Aurelan lived at the Deneva colony with their last living son, Peter. Later that year, Sam was killed by neural parasites that infiltrated and overwhelmed the colony, infecting Aurelan and Peter. Although James discovered how to neutralize the parasites in time to save Peter and the colony, it came too late to save Aurelan.
