| Caption: | Jannar, a Xindi-Arboreal representative in the Xindi Council in 2154 |
Jannar (played by Rick Worthy) was an Arboreal scientist and one of his species' representatives on the Xindi Council. He was a personal friend of Degra.
When Enterprise was first sighted in the Delphic Expanse, Jannar spoke out against rash action, suggesting that the Council simply continue its pre-planned course of action and develop the Xindi superweapon.
Jannar voted against the development of the Xindi bioweapon, decreeing that such a move was too dangerous. He believed that Degra must be given more time to create his superweapon. He was very unpleased when Commander Dolim had Rajiin infiltrate Enterprise to acquire information on Human physiology and anatomy; he said it put their entire work at risk.
Jannar may have had moral reservations about the construction of the superweapon, but he swept them aside with a "better their world than ours" mentality. He said it was best not to think about how many innocents the weapon would kill, adding, "What we do is for... our children’s future. Remember that."
Jannar was very skeptical of Captain Jonathan Archer's wild claims about the Guardians and their role in building the Delphic Expanse spheres. He came aboard Enterprise with Degra to see Archer's evidence, but constantly pointed out that Archer could be fabricating it. Despite this, he actually could not explain what he was shown; he at least allowed Archer to present his case to the Council.
