Captain Christopher Richard Pike

Pike's eyes closed for only a moment, thinking over sucha broad question. He met Spock's eyes again when he looked up. "A predator can only be defined by its prey. As such, my actions have been defined by someone who believed themselves a predator, but in truth was not. You're being led by a fallacy; you are allowing your judgment to be dictated by it. If you would allow yourself to step back and view my actions since arriving in this universe in a logical manner, you would see that I've done nothing wrong, only defended myself."
