Travis Mayweather
Travis Mayweather is a fictional character, portrayed by Anthony Montgomery, in the television series Star Trek: Enterprise, serving as a navigator and helm officer aboard the starship Enterprise. He holds the rank of ensign, and is in the command division. Mayweather is one of the main characters throughout the show's entire four-season run.
Mayweather was born in 2126 aboard the ECS Horizon, a human J-class cargo ship, and has visited the fictional planets Trillius Prime, Draylax, Vega Colony, and both Tenebian moons. He is a "boomer", meaning he grew up aboard cargo ships, and that he has more experience in space than even his commanding officer, Captain Jonathan Archer.
Mayweather is a quiet and enthusiastic young man who is a highly skilled pilot and has some spelunking experience. He has at least one brother, Paul, who became the captain of the Horizon after the death of their father, the ship's previous captain, in January 2153. Their mother, Rianna, was the ship's medic and chief engineer. There is also mention that Mayweather has a sister who is married, but she is never seen. While heading to Deneva Station, the Horizon was attacked by pirates but Mayweather's experience with weapons from Starfleet allowed the Horizon to defend herself.
Over the course of the series, Mayweather has been injured, incapacitated, or even "killed" more times than any other character in the primary cast.
When Star Trek: Enterprise was first conceived, Mayweather was intended to be a lieutenant but his rank was changed to Ensign because the producers felt that having Mayweather and the older Malcolm Reed at a similar rank wouldn't be believable.
