Harcourt Fenton "Harry" Mudd; An interstellar rogue, con man, and general ne'er-do-well. Brought aboard the Enterprise in 2266 when his damaged ship disintegrated, Mudd was charged with several violations, and his extensive criminal record was discovered, including smuggling, transport of stolen goods, and purchasing a space vessel with counterfeit currency. "Mudd's Women". One scam involved the illegal Venus drug, given to women he recruited as wives for settlers on distant planets, including Rigel XII. His ruse discovered, Mudd was convicted and incarcerated. "Mudd's Women". Mudd somehow escaped from the authorities and then established what he called a "technical information service," selling the Denebians all rights to a Vulcan fuel synthesizer. When it was found that Mudd did not have the rights to make such a sale, Mudd was arrested. Upon learning that fraud carries a death penalty on Deneb, Mudd broke jail and was pursued by a patrol, which fired and damaged his ship. He drifted in space until he came to a Class-K planet inhabited by sophisticated androids from the Andromeda Galaxy. The androids dubbed him Lord Mudd and provided for his every need, except the need for freedom. In 2267, Mudd sent an android named Norman to commandeer the Starship Enterprise in hopes that he could trade the Enterprise crew for his own freedom. Upon escaping from the androids, Captain Kirk left Mudd on the android planet as punishment. "I, Mudd".

Harry Mudd is once again apprehended and incarcerated by the Enterprise crew, after trying to sell love crystals. Mudd abducts Nurse Chapel and briefly escapes to a rocky planet in a stolen Enterprise Heavy shuttlecraft, but he is recaptured and sentenced to an indefinite period in rehabilitation therapy for violations of the Federation pharmaceutical code, including fraud, illegal drug manufacturing, swindling, and transport of a dangerous life-form. "Mudd's Passion".
