"You're a Starfleet captain. You believe in service, sacrifice, compassion, and love. No. I'm not going to abandon the things that made me who I am because of a future… that contains an ending I… I hadn't foreseen for myself."
– Christopher Pike, 2257 ("Through the Valley of Shadows")
Pike was born in the city of Mojave on Earth in the early 23rd century. (DIS: "Saints of Imperfection")
Pike had a pony named Sir-Neighs-a-Lot who broke his leg in a rainstorm. Pike’s parents had the pony put down, which caused Pike to cry for a week. (SNW: "A Quality of Mercy")
Later on in life, Pike had two horses – Tango and Mary Lou – which he rode through parkland that surrounded the city. (TOS: "The Cage", "The Menagerie, Part I")
Pike's father was a science teacher who also taught comparative religion. This led to a very confusing household for Pike, causing him not to agree with his father on much. (DIS: "New Eden") Pike also had a evasive female cousin who, according to Pike, apparently only gave a straight answer in church. (DIS: "Saints of Imperfection") At one point during his childhood, Pike heard a fable that described Hell-Fire, something that he carried with him into his adulthood. (TOS: "The Cage")
During his childhood, he was diagnosed with asthma, and also suffered from space sickness. (DIS: "Brother")
One of Pike's favorite foods was his mother's homemade tomato sauce. (SNW: "Among the Lotus Eaters") Pike hated spiders. (DIS: "An Obol for Charon")
Starfleet Academy
Sometime before 2224, Pike attended Starfleet Academy, where he received top marks in all his classes with the exception of an "F" in Astrophysics. He was part of the graduating class of 3201.14. He also met Philippa Georgiou, who during their time at the Academy was able to drink Pike and their fellow cadets under the table. (DIS: "Brother", "Saints of Imperfection")
Early postings and assignments
Upon graduating from Starfleet Academy, Pike was commissioned as an officer in Starfleet, with his first assignment being as a test pilot. (DIS: "Light and Shadows") As an ensign, Pike served as a security officer. During an encounter with a Nausicaan, Pike drew his phaser and ran after the pants-less Nausicaan. After tripping during the pursuit, he discovered that he had been entangled in the Nausicaan's pants. Following the encounter, Pike's lieutenant pulled him aside and told Pike that maybe a career path in security wasn't for him. (SNW: "Children of the Comet") Pike served on three Federation starships, the USS Antares, the USS Chatelet, and the USS Aryabhatta. Star Trek movie app, Pike enrolled in Starfleet in 2223 and was commissioned as an officer in 2227. He served aboard several vessels, including the USS Olympus (β), the USS Aldrin (β Sometime during his career, he made a speech to Una Chin-Riley's Academy class about a test mission he had flown. It was there that the two met and began a lasting friendship. (SNW: "Ad Astra per Aspera")
First officer of the USS Enterprise
During the 2240s, he was assigned to the USS Enterprise as Captain Robert April's first officer. (DIS: "Brother") In 2249, Lieutenant Pike participated in a rescue mission in the Majalan system of the Majalan Alora from a damaged shuttle. Pike was nearly killed by a pulsar during the mission. (SNW: "Lift Us Where Suffering Cannot Reach") Aryabhatta
Pike had a strong moral center and devotion to the values he found embodied in the Federation, spending his life in its service and defense. In numerous incidents, he risked his life for causes he deemed just. Even when faced with evidence of his future, Pike accepted this fate as he had confirmed that his sacrifice saved lives. (DIS: "Brother", "New Eden", "Through the Valley of Shadows"; SNW: "A Quality of Mercy")
In the mid-24th century, Pike's Birthday was celebrated as a Federation holiday. He was revered by Brad Boimler, who would dress up as Pike for Halloween. According to Boimler, he was known for "diplomacy ...patience, forgiveness, benevolence... really great hair." (SNW: "Those Old Scientists")
In 3189, after failing to connect with his crew, Captain Saru compared his efforts with Pike's and noted to Tilly that Pike made connecting with his crew seem so effortless. (DIS: "Forget Me Not")
When Captain Saru was trying to come up with a catchphrase, he asked Ensign Tilly for suggestions, and one of the options was Pike's own catchphrase "Hit it". (DIS: "The Sanctuary")
In an alternate timeline, Pike managed to avoid his crippling fate by writing a letter dissuading Cadet Maat Al-Salah from joining Starfleet using the information that he gained from the time crystal on Boreth. As a result, Pike remained captain of the USS Enterprise for years more to come. However, Pike's actions when confronted with the Neutral Zone Incursion differed from that of Captain Kirk in the prime timeline, and resulted in an endless war between the Romulans and the Federation in which millions died.
This version of Pike was eventually promoted to rear admiral and consulted with the monks at Boreth, learning that his actions also prevented reunification between the Vulcans and Romulans, due to Spock having suffered crippling injuries (resembling Pike's own in the original timeline). In order to stop himself from making this mistake, Pike convinced the monks to give him another time crystal to travel back in time, and show his past self the consequences of his actions. As a result, this timeline was erased from existence. (SNW: "A Quality of Mercy")
