Kahn. The character was played by Ricardo Montalbaun.

Answer 2

Hi Maria,

Although it is not specified, the logical commander of the SS Botany Bay would have been Prince Khan (played by Ricardo Mantalban).

In 2267 the Starship Enterprise found the Botany Bay damaged and adrift in space.  The dictator and genetically modified human Prince Khan Noonien Singh and his 72 surviving followers were found in stasis pods aboard the ship.  Several other pods had malfunctioned during the time that the Botany Bay was adrift; those within the malfunctioning pods had died.  Khan was revived and taken aboard the Enterprise for medical examination.

Khan and his people were sentenced to exile on Ceti Alpha V for their attempt to take control of the USS Enterprise.

Khan has his people also made appearance in the second Star Trek Movie... Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

I hope that this is of some help to you.

P.S.

The SS Botany Bay was probably named for Botany Bay in Australia.

Answer 3

The Botany Bay was and is a bay.  It didn't have a commander.
