Daithan Ruhalter
Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.
In 2333, Starfleet Captain Daithan Ruhalter was the commanding officer of the USS Stargazer prior to Jean-Luc Picard assuming command of the vessel.
Captain Ruhalter enjoyed fencing, and sparred with similarly-inclined crewmembers, including his second officer Jean-Luc Picard. Ruhalter was a man who trusted his instincts, and felt that Picard would be a better first officer than Stephen Leach. Ruhalter intended to have Leach reassigned at the earliest opportunity, and promote Picard to the role of first officer at that point.
Captain Ruhalter died in the line of duty, with half of his face being burned off. Leach was seriously injured, and left in a coma. Jean-Luc Picard was forced to assume command. When Picard managed to return the Stargazer to Earth, he was named the permanent Captain of the Stargazer.
