Gorgan - A
malevolent, pock-faced being who deceived a band of Earth
children in assisting him with his plans of interplanetary
conquest on the episode "And the Children Shall Lead" on the
sci-fi series STAR TREK/NBC/1966-69. When a select crew of the
USS Enterprise beamed down to the surface of the planet
Triacus to visit with a settlement of Earth colonists, they
found instead the dead remains of the adult population. Only
the children had survived and they were under the spell of
Gorgan (Melvin Belli). Using illusions and mind control
techniques Gorgan disguised as the "Friendly Angel" convinced
the children they must gain control of the orbiting starship.
However, the children were released from his deadly influence
when they were shown video tapes of themselves playing with
their parents, who were killed via Gorgan's powers. With their
recognition of his evil, the power and the form of this
horrible monster faded away.
