Trelane is a TOS character who fans have long since retconned to be a member of the Q. Obviously he wasn’t written that way in the 1960s and his species wasn’t in mind when they created Q in the 1980s, and to be fair the SNW writers haven’t come out and said outright that this is what he is, although they’ve strongly hinted at it by having him speak to another unseen character voiced by John de Lancie the last time they used him.

I actually didn’t mind the idea of having him in the series but they just don’t seem to know how to work with the ideas they have.
