Arik Soong was a Human male alive in the 22nd century.
- It is implied by name and appearance that Soong was an ancestor of Noonien Soong, the creator of Data and other Soong-type androids, however the exact relationship has yet to be established. Noonien, in turn, may have been named out of admiration Arik had for Khan Noonien Singh
As a doctor working at Cold Station 12, Soong stole 19 augment embryos from the facility in 2134. Going into hiding, Soong raised these 19 augments until he was captured 10 years later and imprisoned in San Francisco. When the 19 augments stole a Klingon ship Soong was recruited to help stop the renewed augment threat. After learning the manipulation of human life was unethical, he abandons this research for artificial life. Estimating it will most likely be two generations after his. This older Soong's work comes full circle by the 24th Century. When both an augment and doctor, named Julian Bashir meets the android Data, in 2370. (ENT episodes: "Borderland", "Cold Station 12", "The Augments". TNG episode: "Birthright, Part I")
