Harris (Section 31)

Harris contacts Lt. Reed.

Harris was a highly placed agent of Section 31 in the 2150s. He was a member of Starfleet Security until 2149, at which point his official record ends. At some point before 2151, he recruited Malcolm Reed for certain "covert operations". After Reed was posted to the starship Enterprise, Harris didn't contact him until late 2154. Reed was investigating the kidnapping of Dr. Phlox, and discovered that satellite logs covering the period of Phlox's abduction were missing. When Reed attempted to investigate this by contacting Starfleet Operations, he instead reached Harris, who asked Reed to meet him at a certain address in San Francisco. There, he told Reed that the only way to help Dr. Phlox was to comply with his instructions.

Harris ordered Reed to stall the Enterprise's investigation into Phlox's abduction. Reed complied, but his actions were discovered and he was thrown in the brig. Captain Archer and T'Pol discovered Reed's contacts with Harris, and Archer ordered Reed to have Harris contact him. Harris did contact Archer, and told him that if he interfered before Phlox completed his "assignment", the repercussions would affect entire worlds.

After the crisis with the Klingon plague was over, Harris contacted Reed once more. Reed told Harris not to contact him again. Harris intimated that his organization's "recruitment policy" didn't allow agents to leave, but Reed told him that he answered to one commanding officer: Jonathan Archer. (ENT: "Affliction" and "Divergence")

Harris was played by Eric Pierpoint. His covert organization was not explicitly called "Section 31", but dialogue suggests that it is that organization. This was also confirmed in interviews with production personnel.

Trivia

Harris asks Reed to meet him at the following address:

1044 North Maple

San Francisco

California

USA, Earth

Although Maple Street in San Francisco today does not have house numbers as high as 1044, the real Maple Street abuts the Presidio, which is where Starfleet Headquarters is supposedly located.
