Daniel Leonard was a Starfleet admiral in the 22nd century.
In 2151, Leonard was part of a group of Starfleet officers who conferred with Vulcan ambassador Soval at Starfleet Medical, regarding the disposition of Klaang, a Klingon courier who had recently crash-landed on Earth. Leonard expressed annoyance with Soval, who recommended allowing the Vulcans to handle the situation, responding that the incident had occurred on Earth soil, and therefore should be Starfleet's responsibility. Later in the discussion, Leonard mistakenly identified Klaang as a "Klingot" to Captain Archer. (ENT: "Broken Bow")
Leonard was portrayed by Jim Beaver.
Leonard was named after Leonard Nimoy, the Original Series actor who played Spock. Although Admiral Leonard is referred to on-screen as "Dan," it is unclear – from evidence established in canon – whether this is meant as a shortened form of "Daniel". This likelihood is confirmed in the script of "Broken Bow", however. [1]
