Lee Kelso was a Starfleet officer in the 23rd century of the alternate reality created by Nero's 2233 incursion. He served as a backup navigator aboard the USS Enterprise, serving at the position on the bridge when Pavel Chekov needed to be relieved.

Kelso was a member of the Starfleet Academy graduating class of 2257. When James T. Kirk was made captain of the Enterprise, he brought Kelso aboard, because he considered him to be one of "the best" and not due to their friendship. (TOS comic: "IDW Star Trek, Issue 1")

Later on that year, Kelso watched Gary Mitchell's chess games against Kirk. When the SS Valiant's distress beacon was retrieved, Kirk brought Mitchell and Kelso on duty. Kelso also navigated the ship into the galactic barrier per Kirk's orders, causing the navigation console to explode. Despite this, Kelso remained unharmed. (TOS comic: "IDW Star Trek, Issue 1")

Kelso accompanied Kirk, Spock, Montgomery Scott and Mitchell to Mineral Processing Facility DSE-Grissom on Delta Vega, where Kirk planned to maroon Mitchell. Kelso helped Chief Engineer Scott search the facility for the materials needed to restore the Enterprise's warp drive. Mitchell escaped from confinement and encountered Kelso, who drew a phaser on him. Mitchell forced his former friend to shoot and kill himself with the phaser. Kelso was subsequently buried in space. (TOS comic: "IDW Star Trek, Issue 2")
