Counselor Troi Stands Above The Rest As Most Tortured Star Trek Character

Captain Picard's Enterprise had one thing that Captain Kirk never could boast of - a therapist.

Counselor Troi, played by the lovely Marina Sirtis, acted as psychologist and confidant to the crew members of the flagship Starship of Starfleet in Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek: The Next Generation. Her empathy abilities, while helpful, didn't have the same flash and action of say Data's positronic brain or android super speed or Worf's growling grufness.

Although she helped her colleagues through some rough times, nobody was there - at least professionally - for her to lean on through the tough challenges in her life - and there were plenty of them.
