Ejder Salil was a Human of Kurdish descent that served as a diplomat for the United Federation of Planets during the 24th century.
In the early 2370's he was the Ambassador-at-Large along the Neutral Zone, normally working from offices on Starbase 39-Sierra.
Secretary of State Damra was outraged when President Jaresh-Inyo chose to allow Starfleet's Diplomatic Corps to handle negotiations for the release of Emerson Ames instead of Salil.
