Quark saved his much-cherished Ferengi culture from the Bajoran Prophets' idealism later that year when he experienced an orb vision and single-handedly restored the Nagus to his previous state. Quark knows at least the worst of human history, and while he speaks out against superior Terran attitudes, he can be as racist as anyone. Married temporarily to Klingon matriarch Grilka, he faced down her rival D'Ghor before the Klingon High Council on Qo'noS to save her house after murdering her husband Kozak in self-defense in the bar.
That led to Zek's request in 2371 that he be aboard the Defiant's first Dominion contact mission. The next year, having led a trade mission to contact the Karemma of the Dominion, he became the first Ferengi to meet a Jem'Hadar and Vorta of the Dominion when captured with Sisko on their Gamma Quadrant vacation eight months later. He even served a week as the Nagus and faced death threats when Zek faked his demise to trick his unfaithful son. It was a fateful change, leading to contacts with Grand Nagus Zek and the Dominion.

By this time Rom and his young son Nog had moved to the station, and Quark has fondly recalled reading the tyke basic Ferengi storiesĪmid the shambles of Cardassian withdrawal from newly renamed DS9 in 2369, his plans to leave were changed when Starfleet commander Sisko threatened to jail his nephew Nog for a petty theft if he left - along with enticements such as free rent, power and maintenance. One Cardassian contact in particular was Glinn Boheeka. He later served on a Ferengi freighter for eight years, where he learned some engineering and transporter skills while serving as its cook.īy the 2360s he was running a black market from then-Terok Nor for the occupied Bajorans and illegally sold food to them at cost, while earning his exclusive casino franchise by catering to Gul Dukat and the occupying Cardassians with freebies. In his 20s, Quark apprenticed with a District Sub-Nagus until he slept with the boss's sister and lost his fast-track standing. In 2351, upon celebrating his Age of Ascension rites, he left home as soon as possible despite his father's advice to stay close doing so 10 years ahead of Rom, he missed out on Keldar's ongoing business failures prior to his death.
His father bought him his first copy of the Rules of Acquisition, but it was his mother who helped him learn them - a repeated pattern, the truth of which he ignored until much later in life, feeling his father had been hounded by his mother's rebellious independence. His only sibling is younger brother Rom, whom he often teased and tortured as "lobeless." Quark even stole Rom's naming day presents from Keldar, replacing the gifts resold at a profit with old vegetables. But he does sometimes show remorse out of guilt for even his own actions, and relishes the thrill of gambling, even in business otherwise, he has said, the trade comes off as simple bartering. When Odo calls him "disgusting," he proudly boasts: "Til the day I die!" and says lying is a gift. He has even tried to force sex by contract from the unwitting Dabo girls who work for him an employee's error is made up from garnished pay. In reality, he has the reputation of getting anything for a price - with the help of a network of sources who also help him keep a hand in most illegal or illicit trade and deals going on around the station. He also caters formal affairs for the Starfleet crew and named a new souffle creation after Kai Winn when the Bajor-Cardassian peace treaty was signed. Quark, one of the most influential of modern Ferengi thanks to his location at Deep Space Nine when the Bajoran wormhole was discovered, owns Quark's Bar on DS9's Promenade, but hates being called a "barkeep," preferring "host" instead as he fancies himself an empathetic dispenser of advice as well as a goodwill ambassador and legitimate entrepreneur extrordinaire. **Includes updates, addenda through SD 50500 (2373)Ĭivilian Psychological Profile: Report of Starfleet Doctor Julian Bashir, M.D.: Occupation: Owner and bartender/host, Quark's Bar, DS9 DS9 STATION RESIDENCE DATABASE FILE: Quark
