Eneg was the Ekosian Nazi Party Chairman, and addressed as "Excellency". He was inwardly sympathetic to the Ekosian and resident Zeon underground that opposed the violent xenophobia brought to Ekos by Melakon's secret usurpation of John Gill's leadership. He disliked the Ekosian SS for its thoughtless enthusiasm for torture and beatings, saying that "punishment becomes ineffective after a certain point - men become insensitive".

In 2268 the Chairman observed several incidents of obvious conspiracy against Deputy Führer Melakon, but took no action to interfere. After Melakon was shot by the Zeon immigrant Isak, Eneg stopped guards from retaliating, saying, "Wait soldier, there's been enough killing. Now we'll start to live the way the Führer meant us to live." (TOS: "Patterns of Force")
