The Magistrate (or Keeper) was the designation of the Talosian leader who captured Captain Christopher Pike in 2254, and then orchestrated his return to Talos IV in 2267. Under the Keeper's original plan, the Talosians had hoped to use a captured Human, Vina, to breed a colony of Humans to help rebuild Talos IV. (TOS episode: "The Cage"; TOS episode & Star Trek 4 novelization: The Menagerie)

In 2320, the Magistrate again communicated telepathically with Ambassador Spock, bringing him back to Talos IV following Pike's death. (TOS novel: Burning Dreams)
