Sargon was a being from the planet Arret. He was among those who survived the cataclysm that destroyed their world by placing their consciousnesses into receptacles, living on only as non-corporeal beings of thought. Over time, most of the other such entities' essences ceased to exist, and eventually only Sargon, his wife Thalassa, and their opponent Henoch remained.
Sargon and the other two survivors were discovered by an away team from the USS Enterprise in 2268. (TOS episode: "Return to Tomorrow")
By the 24th century, the Federation referred to his species as "Sargonians." (TNG novel: The Buried Age)
