Joachim was a Human Augment and faithful disciple of Khan Noonien Singh, who fled Earth along with a number of his followers in the year 1996.

After Khan and his fellow Augments managed to take control of the USS Reliant, Joachim manned the helm and weapons. When Khan voiced his intention to use the Reliant to take his revenge on James Kirk, Joachim attempted to advise Khan against the necessity of taking revenge on Kirk, but deferred to Khan's wishes. Joachim was eventually killed when the Reliant faced the Enterprise in battle in the Mutara Nebula, leading Khan to swear that he would avenge his death. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)

Apocrypha Edit

In Greg Cox's Trek novel To Reign in Hell: The Exile of Khan Noonien Singh, Joachim is the son of Joaquin Weiss and Suzette Ling, who were married after Khan and his fellow supermen were left on Ceti Alpha V. After Joaquin and Ling both die defending Khan in battle, Khan decides to raise Joachim as if he were his own son. Khan felt this is the least he could do after Joaquin's many years of faithful dedication in service to him. Also noted in the book was the fact that most of the followers of Khan found on Ceti Alpha V by Chekov and Terrell were much younger than Khan; this is explained in the novel that within six months of exile (before the explosion of Ceti Alpha VI) that many of the colonists had paired off and several of the women were already pregnant. These children were then born in the underground caves later and because of their genetically altered status, they seemed to mature much faster than ordinary humans. For example, when Joachim was ten, Khan noted in his journals (found by Kirk on Ceti Alpha V) that he appeared already to be fifteen. By the time of their escape aboard the Reliant, all but just a few of the original supermen of the Eugenics Wars had died due to disease, combat, accident or Ceti eel, and therefore most of Khan's crew, which according to Chekov, was only about two dozen people, were the children born after the exile.
