Doctor Enver Balik was a talented computer scientist who programmed and created the android known as Emet. It is suggested that he might have also been responsible for creating the droids known as Dex and Val.
"Balik College" at The Pilgrim Space Academy is named after him.
History
Before the Saga
A brilliant scientist, Enver Balik is primarily known for his creation of the BUNNI - an advanced type of universal artificial neural network, or artificial intelligence, which attempted to mimic the workings of the human mind.
Starship Quicksilver
Shortly afterwards, Balik and Amari hitched a ride on the Starship Quicksilver, posing as two ordinary passengers. Emet was secretly hidden in a cargo crate.
Balik's cover story that he was heading for a robotics conference on a space station orbiting Planet Eiocha in the Epsilon Indi system. During the voyage, he continued working on the BUNNI so tirelessly that Captain Gail Pilgrim finally had to slip him some sleeping tablets to force him to get some rest.
