Ames was a Starfleet security crewperson serving aboard the USS Enterprise in the 2260s.

In 2267, Ames contacted Captain James T. Kirk and informed him that Commander Spock had attacked his nurse and fled sickbay after he had been infected by the Denevan neural parasites. (TOS novelization: Operation -- Annihilate!)
