Daniels.  (Matt Winston).  Food server aboard the S.S. Enterprise.  Daniels was only using his position as a cover for his real mission which was part of the temporal cold war.  Daniels was originally from Illinois in the 31st century.  His mission in 2151 was somewhat ambiguous, but he told Captain Archer that he was on the Enterprise to apprehend Silik after revealing he was from the future.  While Daniels attempted to scan the ship with equipment from the future, Silik found him and destroyed his manifestation.  ("Cold Front" [ENT]).  Daniels brought Captain Archer back in time before the launch of Enterprise to assist him with information on how to prove that the Suliban had rigged the Enterprise's shuttlepod to ignite the atmosphere of the Paraagan colony.  After Archer had proof, the Suliban made it a priority to catch Enterprise, despite that Daniels said it wouldn't happen.  So Daniels brought Archer to the future before the Suliban could capture him, but removing him from the timeline caused the Earth of the 31st century to become a wasteland.  Daniels was then stranded with Archer as he did not have any more access to his time travelling devices.  ("Shockwave" [ENT]).  He managed to construct a device from various components that could communicate with the past.  Archer coordinated a plan out with T'Pol to get a device from Daniels' quarters to bring Archer through the humanoid figure's portal at the Suliban helix.  ("Shockwave, Part II" [ENT]).  Archer used the database from Daniels' quarters to identify a one-person vessel that came from the future.  ("Future Tense" [ENT]).
