Gary Seven is the major character in the last episode of the second season of the original Star Trek television series, "Assignment: Earth". He is portrayed by Robert Lansing.
The episode "Assignment: Earth" was a television pilot for a proposed series about Gary Seven, a human who is undertaking a mission on Earth in 1968 but who was raised on another planet. The crew of the starship Enterprise, who have been sent back in time by the United Federation of Planets to do detailed research on Earth in 1968, accidentally intercept the transporter beam which is sending Seven to Earth.
According to Scott Dutton's sources, "Gary Seven is a man sent back in time from the 24th century, the only Earth man to ever survive the transit." His goal is to defeat the Omegans, a race of shape-changing aliens who have sent agents back in time to change Earth’s history so they can defeat Earth in the future. Harth and Isis would be the primary Omegan antagonists. Roberta Hornblower is described as she appeared in the final episode, but as a 20-year-old.
Seeing humans and Vulcans together, Seven realizes that the starship has come from the future, while the crew suspect that Seven is also a time traveler.
Mister Seven, assigned by his planet's agency as a Class One Supervisor known as Supervisor 194, has been sent to determine why two resident agents, colleagues Agent 201 and Agent 347, had stopped reporting to their superiors. When he discovers that they had been killed in a traffic collision, he takes over their immediate task of sabotaging the launch of an orbital missile platform by the United States to prevent nuclear war on Earth.
Gary Seven uses the Enterprise transporter and beams back to Earth into a teleporter that looks like a safe on the outside. The transporter is hidden behind a counter located within his office in Apartment 12B at 811 East 68th Street in New York City. Here he makes use of his Beta 5 computer, which has a circular view screen and is hidden behind a book case. The computer speaks with a female voice and has broad, though limited, powers. He also revealed several technological devices he employed such as his servo, the Beta 5 computer, the transporter chamber. The desk also has a blue green cube on it and a typewriter that types whatever is spoken.
