Editing Jonathan Archer (section)

===Temporal Cold War===
Although initially optimistic, Archer becomes involved in his first mission as captain of ''[[Enterprise (NX-01)|Enterprise]]'' in the middle of the [[Temporal Cold War]]. The Temporal Cold War begins at the beginning of the pilot episode, "[[Broken Bow (Star Trek: Enterprise)|Broken Bow]]". In that episode, the audience is introduced to the [[Suliban]] and a mysterious being from the future (informally referred to as "Future Guy") who is guiding them.

As the Temporal Cold War continues, Archer also meets [[List of minor recurring characters in Star Trek: Enterprise#Daniels|Daniels]], whose purpose seemingly is to safeguard Archer in particular and ''Enterprise'' in general. Daniels' comments are that Archer will be the man who helps form the [[United Federation of Planets]], and it becomes apparent by the third season that Daniels is representing the Federation throughout the Temporal Cold War.
