Joachim (also Joachin and Joaquin) is a genetically engineered character in the fictional Star Trek universe who appears as one of Khan Noonien Singh's henchmen in the Star Trek episode "Space Seed" and the film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, in which he is played by Mark Tobin and Judson Scott, respectively.
The official Star Trek site maintained by Paramount Pictures describes Joachim as a "genetically superior blonde-haired young man". The script for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan describes Joachim as "the largest and brightest of Khan's group".
In the text commentary for the Star Trek II director's edition DVD, Michael Okuda, co-author of The Star Trek Encyclopedia and a consultant on various Star Trek films and TV shows, points out that in "Space Seed", the character's name is Joachin (or Joaquin, according to the end credits of "Space Seed", as well as StarTrek.com) but that he was accidentally renamed Joachim in the film.
In contrast, Greg Cox's non-canon novels The Eugenics Wars (Volume 1 & 2) and To Reign in Hell: The Exile of Khan Noonien Singh depict Joachim as the son of Joaquin and another SS Botany Bay survivor, Suzette Ling. In Cox's books, Joachim and the others who accompany Khan in Star Trek II were born in exile on Ceti Alpha V.
