Alternate timeline
(covers information from an alternate timeline)

Yerdrin Lek was an Yridian information dealer during the 22nd century.

In an alternate timeline where the Xindi destroyed Earth, Yerdrin Lek was hired by the Xindi to help find the last colony of Humans. They paid him to follow Doctor Phlox when he left Denobula, which he did in 2165 to treat Jonathan Archer. Lek tailed Phlox to the Ceti Alpha system, and informed the Xindi of its location. He was captured and interrogated by Starfleet officers aboard Enterprise NX-01 (where he tried to pose as a dealer in Rigelian flamegems). However, it was too late and, following his signal, the Xindi attacked Ceti Alpha. Lek presumably died in Enterprise's brig when the ship was destroyed in a subspace implosion which negated this timeline. (ENT: "Twilight")

Yerdrin was played by actor Brett Rickaby.
The name Yerdrin Lek originated from the source's script. His second name, Lek, was derived from the final draft script, dated 6 November 2003, however, earlier drafts called him "Yedrin Koss", which was likely changed due to the similarities to two Star Trek characters: Yedrin Dax and Koss. The earlier version of his name is still commonly found, and is still "officially" recognized on StarTrek.com, where "Koss" is predominantly featured as the character's name in his entry, while the address for his article uses the full name "yerdrin-koss".
