Mendon is a Benzite Starfleet ensign who appears in Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "A Matter of Honor" (Season 2, Episode 8). He serves aboard the USS Enterprise-D as part of an officer exchange program between Starfleet and the Benzite government. Mendon is the second Benzite seen in the series, following Mordock from the episode "Coming of Age," and is portrayed by actor John Putch in both roles.
During his time on the Enterprise, Mendon is assigned to the science division and is eager to demonstrate initiative. He discovers a hull-eating organism on a Klingon ship, the IKS Pagh, but initially fails to report it promptly, believing that protocol requires him to find a solution before informing his superiors. This misunderstanding of Starfleet procedures causes tension but is ultimately resolved. Mendon is notable for wearing a breathing apparatus typical of Benzites, and for highlighting cultural differences in behavior and duty within Starfleet.
