When Star Trek and Online Dating Collide

"Your cat is named Weyoun?"

StarTrek.com

On an October morning in 2019, I received an OkCupid message from Josh, 41.

“Your cat is named Weyoun!” the first line read.

It’s true: Weyoun, now a fifteen-pound loaf, was once a teeny-tiny kitten who was scared to go up the stairs. His sister, Angela — another ’90s pop culture reference, this one to angsty teen Angela Chase of My So-Called Life , and a naughty calico who could give the real Weyoun a run for his money, had to teach him. (Even now, he will literally wait in line behind her until she’s done eating before he’ll chow down, despite having his own bowl.) Once, when they were just a few months old, they fell asleep on top of an insulated casserole dish that I was bringing to a family Thanksgiving. This was the picture that Josh saw on my profile. Further down on that page, in response to the question “ Star Trek or Star Wars ?”— such an easy question; why even bother? — I wrote “ Star Trek: DS9 . This is a hill I'm willing to die on.”

At that point, I had been dating for a few months. I was 37 and newly single, separated from the partner I had been with since college. It was a difficult time but not an unhappy time, as I figured out really for the first time in my life what I wanted from a relationship. Dating itself was fine, mostly boring and awkward, occasionally fun, luckily never traumatic. Josh, I would later learn, had been single for a number of years and usually ignored the dating site’s many emails touting potential matches. This time, for some reason, he didn’t.

Josh wasn’t the only potential match who mentioned my love for DS9. In fact, it was probably the most-remarked-on aspect of my profile, with my glasses a distant second. (It’s hard not to be Liz Lemon when you’re a certain kind of cranky white lady in your late 30s, even if she preferred a different ‘ Star ’ franchise.) It’s a good filter, I suppose: recently, on a trip to the vet’s office, everyone thought Weyoun’s name was French, trying to infuse their pronunciation with a French accent. I decided it was easier not to disabuse them of the notion.

Responding to Josh turned out to be the most important decision I ever made. A week and a half later, we had our first date, at a coffee shop near my office, on an evening when the rain poured down in droves. Josh was handsome and slight, with a salt-and-pepper beard that I liked immediately. I would soon learn that he was also the sweetest person who has ever lived. We both drank tea, which may have given him an incorrect impression of my normal levels of caffeine consumption. We talked politics and work and family and, of course, Star Trek .

I told him about growing up with the show, watching TNG in syndication, sitting on the family room floor with my brother and eating spaghetti and meatballs. I love TNG — recently I discovered that I have apparently texted about Romulan senator Pardek so much that my iPhone recognizes his name, and for a while I kept a top ten list of favorite episodes in my Notes app (fact: #1 = “I, Borg”) — but my heart belongs to DS9: darker, grittier, morally ambiguous, with the first fully developed female characters, including my most beloved Star Trek character of all time, Jadzia Dax. It was the perfect show for a pretentious teenager and burgeoning feminist. Perhaps it was then, or perhaps it was on a later date, that I told him about the screenplay I wrote in high school, which included a part intended for Andrew Robinson (who, I learned recently, is maybe available ?).

He told me about how his uncle had first exposed him to the show, with marathons they called festivals, after the (hilarious) TOS episode “The Return of the Archons.” Later that evening, he texted me a picture of a super realistic-looking clay bust he had made in high school pottery class. The subject? Hugh.

I knew the relationship was getting serious when we committed to watching Picard together months before it aired. Now we’ve gone through that, the first season of Lower Decks , and the third season of Discovery . Last fall, on the anniversary of our first date, he gave me a picture of us in Lower Decks –style cartoon form. I had found my match.

Culture abounds with stories of couples who found love through Star Trek . In 2019, Tulsa World told the story of local couple Tyree and Tabitha Jones , who met as volunteers at a now-defunct convention. As the Daily Beast reported in 2017, a number of niche dating websites had sprung up for fans of the franchise. Naysayers have expressed skepticism that a mutual interest of this sort indicates true compatibility, but, at least in this case, I beg to differ.

I wasn’t very good at dating. It was hard work, trying to be cute and charming when all I wanted to do was curl up under the covers with Outlander (hey, it shares DNA with DS9!), never really knowing what a person was going to be like until I met him. Would he be kind? Or would he be the kind of person who says something mean and then claims to have been kidding, when deep down you know that he meant to be mean?

Certainly Star Trek gave Josh and me something to talk about, allowing us to bypass much of the dreaded small talk. But I think it was more than that: a shortcut to knowing what kind of a person he was. Star Trek fans aren’t a homogeneous group — Ted Cruz and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez both number among them — but I do think there’s a greater likelihood that we’ll share some fundamental values than there would be among the general population. Believing that, trusting that he wouldn’t judge my strangeness, my nerdiness, my social awkwardness, made me feel safe to express the vulnerability necessary to build a real relationship.

On our fourth date, I told Josh about my divorce. This is not how I explained it, but I could have.

Trill mythology is a little bit squishy on what kind of relationship a joined member of the species can have with someone a previous host knew. In “Rejoined,” Dax starts to fall in love with a former host’s spouse, but this relationship puts them both in danger of exile, their symbionts left to die with them. Still, Trills reveal how a relationship can change as the people in them change, and how we can honor past relationships while embarking on new ones. As Curzon, Dax is Ben Sisko’s mentor; as Jadzia, she is his friend and colleague. As Jadzia, Dax and Worf are married; as Ezri, the two eventually become friends, and he even counsels her (however grudgingly) on her new relationship with Julian Bashir. The series even ends with them as something like siblings, both members of the House of Martok.

All of this is a long way of saying that it was my former partner’s idea to name one of the cats Weyoun. Alex was Star Trek –conversant before we met, watching the same syndicated episodes of TNG as a kid as I did, but we went through DS9 together sometime in the aughts, borrowing my parents’ DVD box sets one season at a time. Alex found Weyoun’s particular brand of charm — what the internet has since identified as his evil Chris Traeger–like qualities — utterly delightful. Think of the scene in the season 6 episode “Behind the Lines” when Weyoun learns of Sisko’s promotion to adjutant. “Good for him!” Weyoun exclaims, seeming genuinely happy for his adversary. This moment, more than any other, inspired Weyoun the cat’s name.

A few years after we adopted the cats, Alex came out as trans. They had identified as he/him for most of our relationship, but now they use they/them or she/her. As her body and presentation changed, so did our relationship. We broke up, but we were still family, and we came to think of each other as siblings.

Then I met Josh. Through the medium (the emissary, if you will) of Star Trek , my old relationship led me to my new one. I can’t think of anything more perfect.

Legendary Dominion Captain's Bundle

By Ambassador Kael | Thu 07 Apr 2022 09:00:00 AM PDT

Soldiers of the Dominion are bred for battle, and prepared to face the hardships of a violent galaxy before they have even been gifted their first vial of Ketracel-white. Yet even with some focused breeding and training, there remains room for improvement.

Coming very soon, captains interested in the Dominion experience will be able to bypass a portion of that further progress by instantly boosting one Jem’Hadar soldier directly to level 65, and gaining special equipment and benefits unique to their experience, by way of obtaining the Legendary Dominion Captain Bundle .

This valuable bundle includes all of the following features:

• Immediately boost one Dominion character to Level 65!
• Includes T5 Reputation Buyouts for “Gamma Task Force” and “Competitive Wargames”
• Account-Wide access to the Legendary Jem’Hadar Vanguard Pilot Attack Ship [T6]

This immense bundle will be available for the price of 9,000 Zen , with a special introductory offer of 50% OFF for a limited time, until 4/28 at 10am PT ! This bundle will release on 4/14 on PC and is scheduled to appear shortly thereafter on Console platforms.

We acknowledge that there is a difference in the relative value of elevating a Jem’Hadar character to 65, due to their already accelerated starting experience. The pricing of this bundle, and what types of additional items are included (and which are not) compared to other factions’ Legendary Boosts have been adjusted to reflect this.

Keep reading for complete details of what to expect from this value-packed opportunity!

Advance Immediately to Max Level!

Appearing as part of this bundle is a Max Level Boost which you can use to immediately set a character to max level. This powerful Boost is yours to use as you see fit, provided a few restrictions are met:

• The character to be boosted must belong to the Dominion faction.
• The intended character must have completed the Dominion Starting Experience, and spoken with Odo to choose their Primary Faction Affiliation.
• You must have at least one character on your account that has already reached Level 65.

Provided these restrictions are met, the process is as simple as claiming the Special Item unlocked by your purchase of the Bundle, and applying it to the character of your choosing. This will immediately elevate that captain to their highest available rank, and place an Equipment Bundle into their inventory.

Ready to Serve the Founders!

After being boosted to max rank, your newly-elevated Dominion captain will find themselves in possession of an equipment pack begging to be opened. This bundle-within-a-bundle represents an incredible value of high quality gear and other resources, ready to put you on the path to immediately enjoying what life at Max Level has to offer!

This pack contains all of the following:

• 1,000,000 Energy Credits
• 1,000,000 Expertise
• 250,000 Reputation Dilithium Vouchers
• Use these to immediately train the Bridge Officer(s) of your choice in the Specialization(s) you desire!
• 5x Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrades (no Dilithium cost to apply)
• 36x Inventory Slots
• 12x Bank Slots
• 6x Bridge Officer Slots
• 2x Starship Slots
• Includes *all* basic Kit Modules for your chosen profession, and many different options for outfitting your ship and crew!
• All weaponry supports the Dominion use of their trademark Polaron energy type, and includes ground weapon visuals distinctly belonging to the Dominion faction.
• Also includes an exclusive Jem’Hadar Kar’takin unavailable anywhere else!
• Jem'Hadar Polaron Dual Pistols
• Jem'Hadar Polaron Beam Pistol
• Jem'Hadar Polaron Compression
• Jem'Hadar Polaron Stun Pistol
• Jem'Hadar Polaron Split Beam Rifle
• Jem'Hadar Polaron High Density Beam Rifle
• Jem'Hadar Polaron Sniper Rifle
• Superior Creative (Increased Kit Performance)
• Superior Pacifist (Reduced Threat, Increased Healing)
• Telekinetic (Increased Effectiveness of Knock, Hold, and Root)
• +7.5% All Weapon Damage
• +1% Critical Chance
• +2.5% Critical Severity
• Occasionally distributes Ketracel-white to Jem’Hadar away team members, automatically refreshing their boosts (max once per 10 min)

** All items received from this bundle are Bind-to-Character-on-Pickup, and have no Energy Credit value if discarded.

Legendary Jem’Hadar Vanguard Pilot Attack Ship [T6]

Let your Honored First defend the Dominion in style in a never-before-released Legendary Starship, and unlock access to this incredible starship for all characters on your account. This modern update to the classic Dominion design has finally joined the ranks of the Vanguard, and aims to take its rightful place as the pinnacle of its family of agile and fierce attack ships.

Like other Legendary Starships, this vessel is meant to represent the pinnacle of an entire line of vessels. It will include – in a single starship – all of the Consoles, Starship Traits, and Costumes, from the entire line of Jem’Hadar Attack Ships. This includes:

• Jem’Hadar Attack Ship [T5]
• Jem’Hadar Strike Ship [T6]
• Jem’Hadar Recon Ship [T6]

This ship also has a small added bonus of being added to a very short list of ships that unlock a player’s ability to obtain “Jem’Hadar Attack Ship” and “Jem’Hadar Vanguard Gunboats” hangar pets, provided the player also owns a Jem’Hadar ship with a hangar bay.

Purchase of this Bundle will unlock the ability for all characters on your account to claim and fly this versatile cruiser, and will be the first Vanguard starship to be released without a Faction restriction.

Starship Stats and Specifications

Since the days of first contact with the Dominion, and throughout the course of multiple conflicts that led eventually to the Dominion War, the formidable Jem'Hadar Attack Ship has earned its reputation as a challenger whose capabilities outmatch its relatively small size. Their adversaries have learned to never underestimate what feats a trained crew of Jem'Hadar can accomplish from the bridge of one of these graceful and deadly starships.

The Legendary Jem'Hadar Vanguard Pilot Attack Ship comes with the following features from previous ships within its lineage:

• Console - Universal - Dominion Defense Screen

Upon reaching level 5 in this starship's mastery, you will unlock the "Go For The Kill" Starship Trait. This trait can be found on a previous version of this starship.

Upon reaching level 6 in this starship's mastery, you will unlock the "Vanguard Specialists" Starship Trait for all characters on your account! While this Trait is slotted, all of the following Specialist Bridge Officer Abilities will have their recharge times reduced by 33% of their base recharge time: Surgical Strikes (Intel), Suppression Barrage (Command), Reroute Reserves to Weapons (Pilot), Recursive Shearing (Temporal Operative), Exceed Rated Limits (Miracle Worker)

• Faction: Any (no Tier-6 Mastery Unlock required!)
• Hull Modifier: 1.2
• Shield Modifier: 1.0
• Fore Weapons: 5
• Aft Weapons: 2
• Device Slots: 2
• Bridge Officer Stations: 1x Commander Tactical / Pilot, 1x Lieutenant Engineering, 1x Ensign Science, 1x Lt Commander Universal, 1x Lt Commander Universal / Intel
• Consoles: 5 Tactical, 4 Engineering, 2 Science (scales with level)
• Base Turn Rate: 20
• Impulse Modifier: 0.22
• Inertia: 70
• +15 Weapon Power, +5 Engine Power
• Can Equip Dual Cannons
• Pilot Maneuvers
• Experimental Weapon Slot, equipped with Tachyon Agitator
• "Vanguard Wingmen" Ship Mechanic
• Starship Mastery Package (Escort)
• Precise Weapon Systems (+Accuracy)
• Tactical Maneuvers (+Defense)
• Enhanced Weapon Systems (+All Damage)
• Devastating Weaponry (+Critical Chance)
• Go For The Kill (Starship Trait)
• Vanguard Specialists (Account Unlocked Starship Trait)

Admiralty Stats:

• Special: Ignores +/- SCI from Events

Account Unlocked Starship Trait – Vanguard Specialists

While this Trait is slotted, all of the following Specialist Bridge Officer Abilities that provide Weapon Modification Abilities will have their recharge times reduced by 33% of their base recharge time:

• Reduced from 30 sec to 20 sec
• Reduced from 45 sec to 30 sec
• Reduced from 40 sec to 26.4 sec

Experimental Weapon – Tachyon Agitator

Dominion weaponry has always had a knack for undermining and manipulating the protective energies used by starships, and this experimental armament is no exception. By exciting a localized tachyon resonance, the targeted foe's shields will quickly drain over time. The resulting energy cascade will also interfere with the subsystem components of the enemy vessel, causing electrical damage and occasional subsystem failures.

• 360' targeting arc
• Fires once per 5 sec
• Drains All Shield Facings over 5 sec
• Each sec, 33% chance: Additional Electrical Damage (ignores shields) and Drains All Subsystem Power Levels for 5 sec

Special Equipment – Quad Polaron Cannons

The Dominion has taken a page from the Federation’s playbook after their experiences during the Dominion War, and developed an analog to the super-charged weaponry found on one of their most noteworthy adversaries from that dark time. These special weapons hit harder than standard Dual Heavy Cannons, but drain Engine Subsystem Power when firing (alongside their Weapon Power drain). They also have the standard Polaron energy proc.

They will come as Level-less on the ship, but may be upgraded if the player is above level 60, at which point they may be upgraded normally.

Jump-start your career as an Honored First of the Dominion!

Biography [ ]

Weyoun 2 [ ].

The second version of Weyoun once had a romantic relationship with one of Kilana 's clones. ( DS9 - Millennium novel : Inferno )

Weyoun 4 [ ]

This version of Weyoun lead a team of Jem'Hadar , including Omet'iklan , Toman'torax and Virak'kara , to locate a group of rogue Jem'Hadar who had taken over an Iconian Gateway . Weyoun and the Jem'Hadar were rescued by the USS Defiant after they were attacked. The two crews later worked together and were successful in destroying the gateway, although Weyoun was killed by First Omet'iklan for doubting them. ( DS9 episode : " To the Death ")

Weyoun 5 [ ]

The fifth version of Weyoun was assigned to be Gul Skrain Dukat 's Vorta advisor after the Cardassian Union joined the Dominion in 2373 .

Weyoun first met Dukat in the Kamiat Nebula , the first meeting Dukat had with the Dominion . They discussed the proposed rebuilding of the Cardassian fleet with Dominion assistance, as well as the future of the former Maquis colonies. ( DS9 novella : The Badlands, Part IV )

Several months later, Weyoun came with Dukat to Deep Space 9 to persuade Tekeny Ghemor to return home to Cardassia . After Dukat's plan to kill Ghemor with voraxna poison in kanar , Weyoun drank it. His Vorta physiology combated the poison, although he noted it was "quite toxic". ( DS9 episode : " Ties of Blood and Water ")

Weyoun returned to DS9 several weeks later to open negotiations for Bajor to sign a nonaggression pact with the Dominion. He later detected Elias Giger 's cellular regeneration and entertainment chamber and brought the scientist and his possessions aboard his ship. Jake Sisko and Nog were also brought aboard and Weyoun gave them the Willie Mays baseball card they had been seeking. ( DS9 episode : " In the Cards ")

Weyoun made another journey to DS9 several months later, this time to warn Sisko and the Federation to not try and stop the Dominion by constructing a minefield around the Bajoran wormhole . This "diplomacy" failed and Weyoun later participated in the attack on the station. ( DS9 episode : " Call to Arms "; DS9 novelization : Call to Arms... )

During the Dominion's time in control of Terok Nor , Weyoun persuaded Odo to sit on the Ruling Council with himself and Dukat, in return for allowing the Bajoran Militia more influence in security matters. ( DS9 episode : " A Time to Stand ")

The fifth Weyoun was killed in a transporter accident in early 2375 . It is believed that Legate Damar may have had something to do with the accident. ( DS9 episode : " Treachery, Faith, and the Great River ")

Weyoun 6 [ ]

Shortly after the death of Weyoun 5, the sixth incarnation of Weyoun was activated. It soon became apparent that this newest version of Weyoun was not like the previous incarnations - believing that the Dominion War was a terrible mistake. Using the name of one of Odo 's contacts, he got a message to Odo, who would later travel to meet him. When the two began to travel back to the Federation, it was revealed that a new clone, Weyoun 7, had been activated. Weyoun 6 killed himself to keep the Jem'Hadar from destroying the runabout that he and Odo were on by activating his suicide implant . His last moments were happy ones as he received a blessing from Odo. ( DS9 episode : " Treachery, Faith, and the Great River ")

Weyoun 7 [ ]

Weyoun 7 was activated when it became clear that Weyoun 6 was not behaving as expected and expressing feelings that the war was a terrible mistake. Weyoun 6 fled Cardassia and met with Odo, while Weyoun 7 and Damar worked to keep Weyoun 6 from defecting to the Federation. ( DS9 episode : " Treachery, Faith, and the Great River ")

Weyoun 7 was killed by Worf . ( DS9 episode : " Strange Bedfellows ")

Weyoun 8 [ ]

Weyoun 8 was activated shortly after the death of his predecessor, he continued to oversee Dominion activities in the Dominion War until he was killed by Elim Garak in the final hours of the war. His short life was notable for his suggestion of Dominion mass-murder of the Cardassian civilization , and the execution of orders to do so, up to and including the female Changeling 's final order for the genocide of the Cardassians. ( DS9 episode & novelization : What You Leave Behind )

Alternate realities [ ]

Weyoun 9 in the first splinter timeline [ ].

Odo removed the transcorder implant from Weyoun's corpse, hoping the ninth Weyoun would be like the sixth incarnation. ( DS9 novel : The Dominion: Olympus Descending )

Acting on orders from Odo, Weyoun 9 was sent throughout the Dominion to search for Jem'Hadar who were not dependent on Ketracel-white . He personally identified Taran'atar as one such Jem'Hadar. ( DS9 novels : The Dominion: Olympus Descending , Warpath )

Weyoun 9 told Elias Vaughn that Jake Sisko and Opaka Sulan were alive and with him in the Gamma Quadrant in 2376 . ( DS9 novel : Rising Son )

Weyoun remained close to Odo after the Great Link dissolved in 2376 and assisted him in running the Dominion. During this time Odo worked to change Vorta and Jem'Hadar culture for the better, but later focused on individual members of both species, such as Weyoun and Rotan'talag - hoping that both would in turn influence others around them. Due to Odo's influence Weyoun developed considerably as an individual. ( ST - Typhon Pact novel : Raise the Dawn )

In 2383 , Weyoun commanded Jem'Hadar Attack Vessel 971 , along with Rotan'talag. In 2386 , they were both among the former Dominion denizens who had taken control of that vessel and taken it through the wormhole to settle in the Alpha Quadrant . ( ST - Typhon Pact novel : Raise the Dawn , DS9 novel : The Long Mirage )

In 2386 , Weyoun requested political asylum in the Federation. ( DS9 novel : Original Sin )

Other alternate realities [ ]

In an alternate timeline , one of Weyoun's incarnations had ascended to become the kai of Bajor in the year 2400 . ( DS9 - Millennium novel : The War of the Prophets )

In another timeline, Weyoun was assimilated by the Borg . ( CCG set: Mirror, Mirror , card: "Weyoun of Borg")

Appendices [ ]

Connections [ ], background [ ].

Weyoun was played by Jeffrey Combs in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine between 1996 and 1999. Combs reprised the role in 2001 when he voiced the character in the video game Dominion Wars .

The Vorta clone Weyoun 6 was activated shortly after Weyoun 5 's demise. This new clone proved to be " defective ," in that he strongly felt that the Dominion's war against the Alpha Quadrant was a mistake. However, he still maintained his loyalty to the Founders , and therefore contacted Odo , under the guise of Gul Russol , and requested a meeting so he could announce his intentions to defect to the Federation .

Aboard the runabout USS Rio Grande en route back to Deep Space 9 , Weyoun 6 explained to Odo not only how he wanted to prevent further conflict, but also how the Great Link had been afflicted by a wasting disease that was slowly killing all Founders, except for Odo. When the runabout was located by his replacement, Weyoun 6 activated his termination implant so Weyoun 7 would call off his attacks, thus saving Odo. The "defective" clone died in peace, with a blessing from one of his gods . ( DS9 : " Treachery, Faith and the Great River ")

Appendices [ ]

Background information [ ].

Weyoun 6 was portrayed by Jeffrey Combs , in his third of five Weyoun appearances. He was identified in the script as "WV-Six" to differentiate him from his replacement.

Combs relished the fact he was able to play different sides of his character, later stating, " I remember having a conversation with Ira about how I always fantasized that Weyoun would see the error of his ways and go over to the other side, but Ira's point was that the bad guys are the bad guys. Then we had 'Treachery, Faith and the Great River', which was great; that was about the closest we got to the notion of Weyoun crossing over. I liked that Weyoun.

A female Vorta

The Vorta are a humanoid species genetically engineered by the Founders of the Dominion to act as field commanders, administrators, scientists and diplomats. The Vorta see themselves as those who "serve the Founders."

• 3 Missions involved
• 5 Bridge officers
• 6 Duty officers
• 7 External links

History [ | ]

According to the Dominion's Masan Research Reports , the Vorta were a race of tree-dwellers, hunted as the Changelings once were. The genetic engineering of that species into the modern Vorta were the Founders' first project and resulted, among other things, of an increase in intelligence of at least a factor of three. They were the first of many loyal subjects and were there to guide other subjects such as the Jem'Hadar .

This was believed by the Vorta, perhaps apocryphally, that this was a reward for a group of the Vorta's ancestors hidding a Changeling from an angry mob. The Changeling they saved promised that one day they would be transformed and placed at the head of a vast interstellar empire. The Founders fulfilled this promise by genetically changing the Vorta into humanoids and employing them at the highest level of the Dominion, second only to the Founders themselves.

Biology [ | ]

Vorta are typically clones of early 'versions' of themselves and serve the Founders in roles of importance such as commanders and diplomats. Vorta are similar to Humans except mainly for their ears and eyes. They have long vented ears which increases their hearing ability above that of regular humanoids. Their eyes are typically poor in terms of sight, and are normally purple in colour. Vorta are commonly seen commanding squads of Jem'Hadar .

Missions involved [ | ]

Vorta bridge officers are available as holograms, or Weyoun 13. See Special bridge officer for more information.

Bridgerton Season 3's Daphne "Replacement" Is Actually The Complete Opposite (& That's A Good Thing)

Confirming a 30-year-old book theory would solve one of wheel of time's biggest forsaken problems, ncis season 21 finale's jess & jimmy conflict explained by knight actor.

Here are all the characters Jeffrey Combs has played in the  Star Trek franchise. Decades after first boldly going where no man had gone before,  Star Trek is still very much a coveted gig for actors. Whether launching the career of Chris Pine (as Kirk) on the big screen or elevating Sonequa Martin-Green (as Michael Burnham)  from a supporting figure on  The Walking Dead to a bona fide leading star,  Star Trek retains a certain allure among the acting fraternity, and the chance to play a heroic Starfleet officer or a scheming villain caked in makeup is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Unless your name is Jeffrey Combs, that is.

Born in California in 1954, Combs' diverse acting career has encompassed cult horror classics such as  Re-Animator , superhero voice performances on both the Marvel and DC sides of the tracks, and science fiction standards such as  Babylon 5 and  The Twilight Zone . But it's his eclectic catalog of  Star Trek  roles for which Combs is arguably best known, portraying 10 separate official characters across several TV shows and licensed video games.

Somewhat of a cult figure among the  Star Trek faithful, Combs can usually be found playing an alien under heavy make-up. As such, the actor's recurring presence in 1990s  Star Trek isn't always obvious to the naked eye, especially since two of Combs' characters don't appear in live-action at all. Oftentimes Star Trek fans will recognize Combs by his distinctive voice, even if his face isn't visible. These are the ten  Star Trek personas of Jeffrey Combs so far, a list that continues to grow for seemingly as long as Star Trek plans to continue.

Combs' first  Star Trek role came in 1994 during the  Deep Space Nine  season 3 episode "Meridian." A wealthy Serilian and an associate of the wily Quark, Tiron quickly takes a shine to Kira Nerys. Kira manages to spurn Tiron's advances by pretending that Constable Odo is her lover, however, an undaunted Tiron explains to Quark that what he really wants is a holosuite program with Kira as the main attraction. Grim. Fan-favorite Ferengi swindler Quark  gets to work on that request for the usual exorbitant price, but fortunately for all involved, Kira uncovers the plan and changes the program. When Tiron activates the holosuite, he is presented with Kira's body, but her head and voice have been replaced by Quark's. This doesn't quite do it for Tiron who angrily departs, threatening to destroy Quark's reputation. Despite this character proving that  Star Trek 's 24th century setting  still isn't rid of lecherous rich men, Tiron is the role that earned Combs his place in the world of  Star Trek .

After debuting as the seedy Tiron, Combs' first proper recurring role in Deep Space Nine  was a Ferengi by the name of Brunt. This character debuts shortly after Tiron in season 3's "Family Business" and continues to pop up all the way through to season 7. Brunt was a Liquidator for the Ferengi Commerce Authority - a tax man, in other words. Like most in his profession, Brunt was not popular among other Ferengi and especially with Quark, with whom he took a particular interest. Attracting the attention of a Liquidator forced a Ferengi to face their worst fear - a loss of profits.

Initially arriving to investigate Quark's mother, Ishka, Brunt returned at regular intervals to plague the bar owner, but the Liquidator's main aim was to become Grand Nagus, forming a nefarious plan to depose the current ruler. This scheme was foiled and Brunt was fired, but he did enjoy a brief stint as Nagus before returning to his old Liquidator job. Combs claimed that he viewed Brunt as a stubborn, right-wing Ferengi who lacked the redeeming features of Quark.

Adding a second recurring role to Deep Space Nine , his as a high spot of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , Combs debuted as Weyoun in season 4’s "To the Death," and the Vorta continued to feature until series finale, "What You Leave Behind." Some of the  darker parts of Deep Space Nine  were met with resistance by fans, but Combs' recurring Weyoun role was always regarded as a strength to the series. Like all of his species, Weyoun was a clone, and served  Deep Space Nine 's big bads, the Dominion. As a field supervisor, Weyoun often commanded the Jem'Hadar, genetically engineered Dominion soldiers. Although Weyoun was cloned multiple times, only versions four to eight actually appear, and when one clone died, the successor automatically took over. Weyoun four was killed by his own troops. Careless. Weyoun five died in a "transporter accident." Very careless.  Weyoun six killed himself via a brain implant and seven got his neck snapped after foolishly ticking off Worf . Finally, Weyoun eight was shot by Garak but by that point, the Dominion's clone factory had been destroyed, making eight the final Weyoun.

Combs has recognized Weyoun as his favorite  Star Trek  personality to play and the character was specifically created with Combs in mind, with the actor having significant input into his development. Combs believes that Weyoun isn't a typically evil villain, and this shows in his performance, with Weyoun six beginning to question his part in the Dominion war. It's a testament to Combs' skill in projecting human qualities onto alien characters that each version of Weyoun is slightly different, despite essentially being one and the same.

Officer Kevin Mulkahey

If eight Weyouns weren't enough, Combs played the Vorta's human counterpart in the renowned Deep Space Nine season 6 episode "Far Beyond the Stars," where Sisko imagines himself as science fiction writer Benny Russell. As one would expect given Weyoun's history and relationship with the Federation and its utopian ideals , Officer Mulkahey was not a pleasant man. A plainclothes cop, Mulkahey first meets Benny in the Harlem district and starts needlessly mocking the writer. Later, Mulkahey and his partner shoot and kill a street kid called Jimmy, who Benny had befriended and Sisko was using as an analog for his own son. When Benny runs to Jimmy in the wake of the shooting, the two officers proceed to assault Sisko's own counterpart. The captain soon wakes up and finds the entire experience was caused by his neural patterns going haywire, but the stinging real-life parallels remain for the viewer.

Playing Kevin Mulkahey offered two distinct challenges for Combs as an actor, the first of which being portraying a regular human for once. As Brunt or Weyoun, Combs had to endure wearing heavy makeup and prosthetics that heavily obscured his real face, whereas Mulkahey was just a regular, albeit entirely awful, New York cop. The second challenge was playing a character that was neither the  true Weyoun, nor a 1950s version of Weyoun, but a 1950s Weyoun as viewed through the lens of Ben Sisko, perhaps the most central character in  Deep Space Nine .

Combs' only appearance in Star Trek: Voyager  came in the season 6 episode "Tsunkatse," predominantly known as the one where Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson ends up in a violent tussle with Seven of Nine . Penk is another totally reprehensible villain, this time working for the Norcadians as a coordinator for their popular combat sport, the titular Tsunkatse. Penk's role entails kidnapping aliens of different races and forcing them to fight gladiatorial style on his very own starship, broadcasting the matches to millions of avid viewers like an intergalactic WWE. Penk's starship proves more than a match for Voyager, but thanks to the assistance of Captain Janeway on the Delta Flyer, Tuvok and Seven are beamed to safety. Presumably, the event continued and Penk ended up in a feud with The Undertaker at Tsunkatsemania.

Thy’lek Shran

Following his passing visit to Voyager , Jeffrey Combs soon found his way into  Star Trek : Enterprise  via season 1's "The Andorian Incident," and would feature throughout the show's entire run in a recurring part. Shran held the role of commander in the Andorian Imperial Guard, and his first meeting with Captain Archer wasn't especially friendly, with Shran interrogating and torturing the Enterprise Commander. Amends were eventually made, with Shran and Archer forging keen respect for each other that went a long way towards establishing ties between Andor and Earth. Indeed the Andorians had been a famed species in  Star Trek canon since the original 1960s series , but Shran marked the first instance one of their kind had been fully explored as a character.

Shran marked a changed of pace for Combs, as the Andorian developed into a more sympathetic figure as  Star Trek: Enterprise progressed. If the series hadn't been canceled, the character was even slated to become one of the regular crew. As a small consolation, Combs reprises the role of Shran for Star Trek Online .

Shran wasn't Combs' only appearance in Star Trek: Enterprise ; the actor made a one-off guest turn in season 1's "Acquisition."  Star Trek 's riff on the  Die Hard format, the Enterprise crew are incapacitated by Ferengi space pirates leaving Tucker, who was in a decontamination chamber at the time, in the Bruce Willis role. The Ferengi proceed to loot the Enterprise , and that includes the crew's female complement. Combs' Krem is one such pirate and tasked with guarding Captain Archer. Once he regains consciousness, it's not long before the savvy Archer works out both the Ferengi lust for profit and Krem’s burning resentment of his cousin, another member of the pirate gang. Archer’s influence inspires Krem to make a stand. The ploy fails, but Krem gets a lobe tickling from T’pol and is allowed to go free by Archer, whilst his cousin and companions are detained.

His only original  Star Trek  video game character, and one of only two official Star Trek roles not in live-action, Combs' Suldok makes his one and only appearance in the 2003 PC game  Star Trek: Elite Force II . Set after the events of  Star Trek : Voyager , Suldok is a Romulan Commander and part of the Empty Crown faction - anti-Federation extremists who believe that the Romulan empire is better off as a war-faring and dominant force than part of any galactic cooperation alliance. Suldok aims to take over the entire Romulan empire and is the main villainous presence of  Elite Force II . Combs is in good company in the vocal booth, with the likes of Patrick Stewart (Jean-Luc Picard) and Tim Russ (Tuvok) both reprising their television roles for the game.

Agimus, The Evil Computer

Jeffrey Combs voices another animated Star Trek  character in the series Star Trek: Lower Decks s eason 2 episode “Where Pleasant Fountains Lie,” as Agimus, an evil computer. As the episode begins, Agimus had enslaved an alien planet but was overthrown and the USS Cerritos is charged with transporting the evil computer to a computer prison at the Daystrom Institute of Advanced Robotics , a well-known location in Star Trek lore going back to Star Trek: The Next Generation and featured in Star Trek: Picard . Of course, the shuttle transporting Agimus crashes, and Combs gets the opportunity to share considerable screen time with main characters Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome) and Brad Boimler (Jack Quaid) as they are stranded on a hostile planet.

Although Combs is no stranger to the lighter side of Star Trek , the role of Agimus seems intentionally calculated to take best advantage of Jeffrey Combs’ comedic ability, and his recognizable fan appeal. Agimus was certainly designed to be the campier side of an evil computer in Star Trek . Visually, Agiums is little more than a common tower PC with a red eye-like light on its front. The humor of the episode comes from how the show leverages Combs’ fan-favorite status and recognizable voice, and offers ample campy lines of dialogue where Agimus threatens to take over the galaxy.

Evil computers have a history going back to Star Trek: The Original Series , and have remained popular in the franchise, one even cropping up once again as Control, the evil AI  and main antagonist of season 2 of  Star Trek: Discovery . Combs' Agimus fits comfortably into the case of evil computers in Star Trek, and the ending of “Where Pleasant Fountains Lie” finds Agimus safely interned among many other evil computers at the Daystrom Institute facility, so it’s possible that Combs' Agimus could return to Lower Decks again someday.

DS9 Holosuite Guest

Admittedly, "unnamed holosuite guest" isn't going to be a highlight in Jeffrey Combs'  Star Trek career, but it's still another character to add to the list. In the  Deep Space Nine finale, "What We Leave Behind," the main cast gather in the holosuite to hear the dulcet tones of Vic Fontaine one final time. Among the background faces visible in this scene is one Jeffrey Combs as an ordinary human. The unnamed character has no lines and no details are offered, suggesting the appearance was likely  Deep Space Nine 's way of honoring Combs' contribution to  Star Trek in the show's swansong.

History [ ]

Captain Benjamin Sisko and the crew of DS9 had their first encounter with a Weyoun in 2372 when they joined forces with the Jem'Hadar under Weyoun 4's command to hunt down and eliminate a rogue band of Jem'Hadar. After Weyoun 4 doubted their loyalty to the Founders, First Omet'iklan killed him after subduing the renegades.

Weyoun 5 was activated a short time later. After the Cardassians under Gul Dukat joined the Dominion, this Weyoun was assigned as Dukat's Vorta advisor. Under the supervision of this Weyoun, the Dominion went to war against the Federation and the Klingon Empire. After Dukat went insane following the Battle of Bajor, Weyoun worked with Damar for the next year. This Weyoun died in 2375 due to a transporter accident that Damar was believed to have been responsible for.

Weyoun 6 was then activated, but it soon became apparent that he was "defective" and Weyoun 7 was then activated. Weyoun 7 forced his predecessor to commit suicide to save Odo's life. When Weyoun let his guard down near the imprisoned Starfleet officer Worf, he paid for his arrogance with his life when Worf snapped his neck.

A few hours later Weyoun 8 was activated. This version of Weyoun was particularly evil, eagerly agreeing to the Female Changeling 's orders for the Dominion to commit genocide against the Cardassians after they rebelled against her. Weyoun 8 died when he was shot by Garak. The Female Changeling expressed regret over Weyoun 8's death, stating it was Weyoun's last clone. Garak responded that he had been hoping the Female Changeling would say that.

After the conclusion of the war, Odo recovered Weyoun 8's transcorder so that his memories and experiences could be transferred to a new clone. Back in the Gamma Quadrant it was found that there was genetic material on file for Weyoun, which allowed another Weyoun to be cloned. Weyoun 9 was activated and assigned to work with Odo. Over the next decade, Weyoun developed considerably as an individual due to Odo's influence.

The Founders

"Ironic, isn't it? The hunted now control the destinies of hundreds of other races." — "The Search, pt. 2"

• Bad Boss : It's dangerously easy to fall out of favor with this Changeling. Broca found this out when he delivered some bad news from the front (see below). Weyoun 8 got into hot water when he failed to quell Damar's rebellion immediately; suddenly, the Dominion's most trusty Vorta finds himself being upstaged by Thot Pran. F.C. (to Pran) If our cloning facilities were operational, I would eliminate this Weyoun immediately. Weyoun : O_O
• Became Their Own Antithesis : Her worst fear made manifest, thanks to the bright boys at Section 31's virology department. "I haven't been able to change form in weeks. It's ironic, isn't it? (close to tears) That I should die as a Solid?! "
• Because You Were Nice to Me : She readily agrees to end the war with the Federation after Odo freely gives her the cure to Section 31's virus.
• Big Bad : She acts as leader of the Dominion's efforts in the Alpha Quadrant, although she seems to leave the bulk of the heavy lifting to Weyoun .
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing : When she first appears in "The Search", she comes across as a wise, serene mentor who is pleased that Odo has returned to his people. She and the other Founders are later revealed to be the leaders of the tyrannical Dominion. Throughout the series, she demonstrates the malevolence behind her gentle facade.
• Worse yet, when the Space-AIDS starts kicking in, the kaposi's sarcomas start growing out of her "clothes", seeing as how they're just another part of the humanoid form she shapeshifted into.
• Care-Bear Stare : By sharing one last link with Odo, she inherited all of his life experiences among solids — along with the cure for the Section 31 virus. She immediately surrendered and ordered her forces to withdraw.
• Control Freak : Like all changelings, she is absolutely obsessed with things being in order. As soon as the Cardassian people prove to be too chaotic to control she orders them to be killed. All of them .
• Definitely Just a Cold : After Odo unwittingly acts as carrier to a virus cooked up by Section 31 . The Female Changeling does her best to disguise her symptoms, but eventually starts to visibly rot away.
• Dissonant Serenity : She almost never gets angry, but when she does, oh God, watch out. Her hatred of solids really shines through.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones : The Changeling race serves as this for her. At the end of the series, she calls off the Dominion offensive and surrenders in exchange for Odo curing the others Changelings of the Section 31 virus.
• Evil Cannot Comprehend Good : As a result of hailing from a species of conquerors and xenophobes, she finds the idea that groups like Starfleet and the Federation could even exist a fleeting notion. On the verge of defeat, she's content to simply order her troops to fight to the bitter end and take as many of the Federation Alliance with them, even when Odo personally promises that Starfleet won't do anything to their people; to her, Starfleet will just use the opportunity of her defeat to wipe out the other Founders. Odo willingly sharing the cure to her condition convinces her to stand down.
• Evil Mentor : To Odo. In "The Search", she teaches him about the history of the Changeling race and helps him hone his shapeshifting skills. When Odo discovers that she and the other Founders lead the tyrannical Dominion, he leaves her. Later, during the occupation of Deep Space Nine, she teaches him more about his people and links with him .
• Garak was against the idea of curing the Female Changeling of her disease — even training his gunsights on Odo — not realizing that a Changeling's word is their bond. As promised, the Female Changeling withdrew from Cardassia in exchange for saving her civilization from ruin.
• Evil Overlord : With a kind and gentle demeanor, she will boldly have her troops fight to enslave the entire Alpha Quadrant, no matter how many lives are lost, because she feels it's her duty to enslave the "unorderly" Federation and their allies.
• As the series progresses, her opinion of Cardassians sours. When the Dominion's Cardassian soldiers turn their coats and fight alongside the Federation, she has no reservations with ordering their immediate genocide.
• Her hubris. Time and again she assumes that The Dominion is infallible, and that everyone should simply bow down and do whatever they want because they know what's best for everyone. It never occurs to her that people would actually dare to resist on such a large scale, and even then she thinks that their superior fighters and troops are enough to quell any rebellions. All she learns is that the harder she pushes, the harder the opposition will fight back, which leaves her prone to making fatal mistakes when things aren't going the way she plans. She could have gained a loyal ally in Odo had she not decided to kill Kira to keep Odo from being "distracted" , which lead him to fully reject the Founders and free Kira, resulting the station being rendered defenseless against the Federation-Klingon task force. This really came back to bite her in the finale when she starts trying to put down the Cardassian Rebellion by having the Jem'Hadar wipe out every city for each act of insurrection. This just causes the Cardassian fleet to turn against The Dominion, which leads her to order the entire planet wiped out. All that does is just piss the Cardassians off even more, leading her to be captured, and no doubt charged with much higher crimes than she would have been.
• Her inability to recognize the power of individualism. Because she hails from a species that believes in the collective whole, she grossly underestimates what one person is capable of. Who alerted the Federation to the fact that the Dominion had almost shut off the mine field to the Gamma Quadrant? MORN . Yes, Morn completely turned the tide in Starfleet's favor by warning them, thus leading to their full-scale assault on the station. Another comes up when The Breen destroy the Defiant , and she orders Weyoun to let the survivors get away so they can warn Starfleet about the price for resisting the Dominion. This results in Sisko making it out alive, and he pushes the Federation Alliance into attacking the Dominion's retreating lines around Cardassia, leading to a chain of events that result in her defeat.
• In "The Search, Part II", she accurately predicts that Odo will long to return to the Great Link (a longing that he admits under torture later in the series).
• In "Favor the Bold", she tells Weyoun that returning Odo to the Great Link means more to the Founders than securing the Alpha Quadrant. This is proven in the series finale when the Female Changeling makes a deal with Odo: she gives herself up to the Federation to be put on trial for the Dominion's war crimes against Cardassia and the entire Alpha Quadrant, and Odo returns to the Great Link.
• Faux Affably Evil : Most of the time, she's calm and polite to everyone she meets. However, her civility is a very thin veneer that barely, if at all, hides her hatred and bigotry towards solids. Garak saw up close and personal that she will drop her nice persona and bluntly tell you that she's gonna genocide your entire race.
• Forgiven, but Not Forgotten : As an autocratic xenophobe, the Changeling does not distinguish between her obedient subjects and the seditious ones. If it were up to her, the Dominion would have gassed Cardassia Prime in retaliation for the attack on her homeworld by the Cardassian intelligence service. The army swiftly turned around and pledged allegiance to the Dominion as a form of apology — but the Female Changeling never really forgave them. Sure enough, when one of them dares to rebel and turns more of the people against them, she's just as quick to order them all wiped out.
• Galactic Conqueror : An unusually low-key version, being a lot more placid and no-nonsense than the usual bombastic examples of this trope. Still, in her view the galaxy needs to be put under control , no matter how much bloodshed she has to order to make it happen.
• G-Rated Sex : The linking scenes between Odo and the Female Changeling in "The Search", "Behind the Lines" and "Favor the Bold" have the feel of love scenes. In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, Director LeVar Burton confirmed that they were straight-up love scenes.
• It isn't even certain that it's the same individual every time.
• Irony : How her story in the series ends. She had been trying to get home to the Gamma Quadrant. She never can, as she's forced to stand trial for her crimes and remain in Federation custody.
• Jerkass Gods : To the Vorta. They're genetically engineered to worship the Founders, but their slavish devotion barely registers for them (with a few exceptions .)
• Kick the Dog : When Garak, cringing, comes asking about the Cardassian crew who attacked her homeworld, she flatly tells him they're dead... And he's next, followed by the rest of his species. At the end of the series, she nearly makes good on that promise, and wipes out 800 million Cardassians .
• Knight Templar : Changelings prefer orderly societies. The Female Changeling considers bringing this order to the galaxy to be her duty and she will gladly kill billions if she finds it necessary. And heaven help if anyone, even her most loyal of followers, disobey her...
• Manipulative Bastard : She plays people for all their worth and, when Odo thinks he can convince her that solids are okay by linking with her, winds up quasi-brainwashing him into seeing them the way she does.
• Muscles Are Meaningless : Being a Changeling, she's stronger than she looks. In "What You Leave Behind," she grabs Broca by the throat and lifts him off his feet when he tells her that civilians have disrupted the power supply.
• No Need for Names : Hence why she's just "the Female Changeling." (The Vorta refer to her as "Founder" or "The Founder", though). Odo: You haven't told me your name. Female Changeling: What use would I have for a name? Odo: To differentiate yourself from the others. Female Changeling: I don't.
• Pet the Dog : After finally accepting that the Dominion has lost the war and that she and her entire race are doomed to extinction, she admits to Weyoun that he's the only Solid she's ever trusted, and that he has served her well. When Garak kills Weyoun minutes later, she's visibly saddened.
• Pink Means Feminine : Her " clothing " is a shade of pink, and she's the only Changeling we see that presents as female.
• Revenge Before Reason : The glassing of Lakarian City. Dominion sledgehammer tactics are precisely what isn’t needed at this stage of the game and their second big mistake (their first being letting Sisko & co. walk scot free all those times ) is punishing the entire Cardassian population for the acts of a few rebels. In a blind fury, the Changeling levels an entire city — wiping out two million innocents, including children — and it makes Cardassians more angry than ever. Sure enough, their fleet defects to the Federation and gives their offensive line a much needed boost of support while depleting the Dominion's own fleet substantially. This gives Starfleet a chance to take the battle straight to Cardassia.
• Taking You with Me : In the finale, faced with imminent defeat, she orders the extermination of the entire civilian population of the Cardassian homeworld in revenge against their military's Heel–Face Turn .
• The Power of Hate : Played with. Her irrational loathing toward solids can be allegedly traced in part to persecution that Changelings endured from solids in the distant past. Also subverted when genocidal loathing of solids causes her to pick up the Villain Ball at certain key junctures as the war drags on.
• Save the Villain : When Odo cures her of a deadly disease afflicting the Changelings. This convinces her that she can surrender.
• Shapeshifting Squick : She and Odo have sexual relations in their humanoid forms during the occupation of Deep Space Nine. Their body language and dialogue afterwards indicates that it was unsatisfying for both partners. She insists that sex pales in comparison to immersion in the Great Link, probably to dissuade him from seeing Kira.
• Soft-Spoken Sadist : She's extremely serene for a genocidal Galactic Conqueror .
• Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum : The plan was to "cut off the snake's head" and force the Jem'Hadar to stand down by capturing their Founder. This doesn't quite work out as planned. Rather the opposite; she promises a Pyrrhic Victory until Odo links with her .
• Technically Naked Shapeshifter : Like other Changelings, she typically forms clothing out of herself when taking humanoid form.
• Tranquil Fury : The Female Changeling does not forget past slights against her people. Although the Dominion later buries the hatchet with Cardassia, the hatred is still very much there, as shown when she throttles Broca and snarls that she should've have eradicated their species long ago.
• The Trickster : A malevolent example, especially when she impersonates Kira in "Heart of Stone."
• Despite being a fairly straightforward example of The Vamp , she defies several of the stereotypes associated with the trope: she takes on the appearance of an older woman, she is not conventionally attractive, and her dress and demeanor are relatively chaste.
• It's a Justified Trope though, as her understanding of individuality is completely lacking, and she had yet to realize what a single man can mean to his people. Sisko, despite being a war hero, an inspiring leader, a brilliant tactician, a religious icon and a strong part of the link uniting the Federation and the Klingons, was in her eyes just another solid.
• Villainous Breakdown : A gradual instance brought about by Section 31's virus and the Dominion's declining military fortunes after losing DS9. While she is no more condescending toward solids than before, she is notably more irritable and more violent, manifesting in her growing willingness to severely punish her subordinates for their failures. All of this culminates in her attempt to exterminate the Cardassians for their betrayal while the Dominion forces are on the verge of defeat.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist : To an extent. She plans a Bolivian Army Ending because she thinks the "solids" will dominate and enslave the Founders. Something the Founders do themselves.
• Wham Line : "The Changelings are the Dominion."
• You Can't Go Home Again : She was on Cardassia when the Federation mined the wormhole entrance, leaving her cut off from the Great Link. And by the time the mines came down, the Federation retook DS9. At the end of The War, she willingly surrenders to face war crimes charges as well, never to see the Great Link again.
• You Have Failed Me : She has a very low tolerance for failure and incompetence. Hell, it's implied that the main reason Vorta can be brought back via cloning is because changelings routinely kill them as punishment for failure.
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness : She pulls this on the entire Cardassian race in the series finale. It backfires against her when the Cardassian fleets switch sides and the Cardassian troops assisting the Jem'Hadar free Damar, Garak, and Kira.
• You Look Familiar : Salome Jens previously had a one-shot role as the ancient humanoid in TNG: "The Chase". Even the makeup is similar.
• You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry! : Generally, despite being such a horrific monster, she's usually quite polite to her opponents and subordinates. If she gets annoyed, she usually throws out a few threats but then goes right back to being calm and polite. But if she every gets truly pissed off, that usually involves Neck Lifts and genocide. Just ask Legate Broca and the Cardassian people.

Hah! Overconfidence — the hallmark of the Weyouns. — Damar , "Strange Bedfellows"

• Acting for Two : Jeffrey Combs also played the recurring Ferengi Administrator Brunt.
• Good lord, even Kai Winn thinks he's a tiresome windbag!
• Although he is specifically designed to be polite and persuasive, most characters (especially some of the Cardassians, who are supposedly on the same side ) find him intensely irritating.
• She also seems to be somewhat saddened by Weyoun's final death, as the destruction of the cloning facility means she can't bring him back anymore .
• When he first met Sisko, he tried bribing him with the prospect of becoming Federation President. Or, heck, why not think big? Emperor!
• Arbitrary Skepticism : The Bajorans think of the Wormhole aliens as gods? Preposterous! But thinking that the Founders are gods? Well, that's entirely different. Weyoun : Pah-wraiths and Prophets. All this talk of gods strikes me as nothing more than superstitious nonsense. Damar : You believe that the Founders are gods, don't you? Weyoun : That's different. Damar : [laughs] In what way? Weyoun : The Founders are gods.
• Awesome by Analysis : In "Statistical Probabilities", the genetically engineered Jack Pack super geniuses come up with a fool-proof plan to defeat the Dominion in the long run by having the Federation surrender and then have a future rebellion spring up on Earth, crush the Dominion, and give rise to an even better Federation in a few thousand years. Without even knowing about the plan, Weyoun had already figured out a way to counter it by exterminating Earth's population. How did he know to do so? He simply observed the Federation and figured out what humans are in the Star Trek universe.
• Baddie Flattery : Part of the reason he's so Affably Evil .
• Bandwagon Technique : One of the arguments he uses when trying to persuade people over to the Dominion.
• Beware the Nice Ones : Extremely diplomatic in general, but just listen to him threatening Jake and Nog in "In the Cards" and you'll see how dead serious he can get. Not to mention he's a high ranking commander in the Dominion.
• Breakout Villain : First appeared in "To the Death" and was promptly killed off. The concept of Vorta cloning was created solely to bring Combs back as Weyoun.
• Combat Pragmatist : Of the more strategic type than actual throw-downs, but... yep.
• Covert Pervert : He apparently finds "interspecies mating rituals" fascinating to watch. Ezri and Worf looked suitably creeped out when he said that.
• Death by Irony : The Female Changeling, eager to replace Weyoun 8, keeps asking about when the cloning facilities will be fixed, to which he quickly replies days. Weeks even! Of course, he ends up being the last of the Weyoun line for this very reason. He also shifts blames for the Cardassian rebellion onto Broca, and later the civilians themselves, to direct the Founder's wrath elsewhere. Now, this is very convenient for Weyoun, but it leaves the Dominion HQ largely defenseless as most of the Jem'Hadar troops have deserted it to go exterminate the Cardassians. It certainly doesn't help that the Jem'Hadar bombing run also destroyed Garak's childhood home... and so on to Garak unloading his gat.
• Death Is a Slap on the Wrist : As a Vorta, killing Weyoun would only mean the next clone would be activated. The only way he can truly be killed is to kill him while no cloning facilities are operational.
• The Dragon : The Female Changeling's paranoia is so all-encompassing that she considers Weyoun "the only solid I ever trusted." Presumably, she refuses to put her life in the hands of most Vorta, to say nothing of Jem'Hadar.
• Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette : Like all Vorta. This appearance is standard for all Vorta as they are a genetically engineered species.
• Even Evil Has Standards : As loyal, obedient and ruthless as Weyoun is, even he is briefly shocked and unable to respond when the Female Changeling orders the entire population of Cardassia Prime to be wiped out to the last man, woman and child. Although it's debatable whether that falls under this trope or Pragmatic Villainy considering that it's not exactly an opportune time to divert a majority of their fighting force to a non-military task.
• Temperance too. Though it is not clear that counts for a creature bred to have almost no fleshly desires anyway.
• Expendable Clone : To his chagrin. It got to the point where Damar chuckles heartily whenever a new Weyoun strolls into his office. It's implied that Damar bumped off Weyoun 5 himself, out of annoyance. Weyoun 8 : I'm glad to see you find the death of my predecessor so amusing. Damar : Oh, you misjudge me. I miss him deeply. Here, let's drink to Weyoun 7!
• Which is an odd fashion choice, considering the Founders' obsession with order and Weyoun's need to serve the Founders in all things. Although the Vortas' lack of a sense for aesthetics might account for it.
• It's worth noting that Borath wears the same outfit in "The Search." It's likely a uniform of some kind, or at least a very common fashion for Vorta. Perhaps it represents the Dominion creating order from disorder? Or maybe the Dominion just conquered a planet of excellent tailors and neither the Founders nor the Vorta have thought about what they're wearing too much.
• Horrible Judge of Character : Despite considering himself The Profiler , he misreads The Sisko at every turn. In particular, he considers The Federation to be timid by nature, even after Sisko repeatedly demonstrates that Humans Are Warriors .
• I'd Tell You, but Then I'd Have to Kill You : A scene between Weyoun, Damar, and Damar's lady friend, in the Important War Room. Weyoun : I have news. Damar : Well? Weyoun : Your friend doesn't want to hear this. Damar : And why doesn't my friend want to hear this? Weyoun : Because if she did, I would be forced to have her executed. [She leaves.] Weyoun : What a pleasant woman.
• The Heavy : With Weyoun as the "face" and most active of the Dominion, he becomes the most active antagonist of the series.
• Knight of Cerebus : For Deep Space 9, since his arrival heralds the beginning of the Dominin War in earnest.
• Subverted in that the Female Changeling mentions she would promise the Breen the entire Alpha Quadrant if she thought that would make them fight harder, implying like the Cardassians, the Breen are just expendable tools to her.
• Legacy Character : He was Weyoun 8 at the time when his cloning facility was destroyed.
• Neck Snap : How Weyoun 7 dies, courtesy of Worf.
• No-Sell : After Sisko reveales he uncovered a plot by Dukat to assassinate a dying Cardassian defector through a poisoned "gift" of Kanar (Cardassian wine), Weyoun pours himself a glass to demonstrate he is immune to poison. His only reaction is to act like he got indigestion and comment that it's "quite toxic".
• Oh, Crap! : Weyoun 8's reaction when he realizes that Damar specifically destroyed the Vorta cloning facilities as his first rebellious move as a direct attack against him.
• Other Me Annoys Me : Weyoun 7 is really not happy that Weyoun 6 would defect to The Federation .
• Out of Continues : Once Damar blows up his cloning facilities. Oops.
• Also pet himself by the Female Changeling, who acknowledges him as "the only solid [she] ever trusted."
• The Profiler : According to Weyoun, Sisko's psychological profile is required reading for all Vorta. Not that it does him much good . For one thing, he acts like Sisko can be tempted with the promise of becoming absolute ruler of The Federation , clearly not knowing that Sisko had months earlier saved President Jaresh-Inyo from a coup-d'état by an Insane Admiral .
• Professional Butt-Kisser : It would appear that the loss of Deep Space Nine was laid squarely at Dukat's feet, despite the fact that (as Dukat points out) Weyoun was right there and nodding at every decision he made at the time. Weyoun's even more cold-blooded than the Cardassians he works for—and indeed, he later dumps Damar for the Breen.
• Properly Paranoid : He knows that all the non-Dominion representatives he meets with distrust him and would happily bump him off. (Weyoun 4 was less cautious around his own troops, and learned that lesson the hard way.) He was also wary of putting the Dominion's eggs in one basket, believing that re-taking and holding onto DS9 would drain resources that could be better applied elsewhere. Most of Weyoun's better suggestions fell on deaf Cardassian ears.
• Punch-Clock Villain : We see both sides of this trope in Weyoun. He is generally pleasant and shows no real malice towards anyone, but is still unfailingly loyal to the Founders and will put their wishes over his conscience every time.
• Shiny New Australia : Subverted — Weyoun had been looking forward to hoisting his flag over Starfleet Headquarters (as the ultimate revenge for all those times Sisko snubbed him), but his boss changed her mind and promised it to the Breen. Pop! That's the sound of a deflating ego. "Apparently, uhh, I was under the mistaken impression that all Federation territories would fall under my jurisdiction, including Earth..."
• Shut Up, Hannibal! : Garak turns up in the command center, blood in his eye, and shoots Weyoun in the heart for gloating about Cardassia's fate.
• Sycophantic Servant : The change in his tone, manner, and body language whenever a Changeling walks in is instant .
• Sissy Villain : He never picks up a phaser himself. The Jem'hadar do all the heavy lifting.
• Smug Snake : To a tee, albeit a very competent one.
• Tampering with Food and Drink : The Dominion probably noted that their diplomats are often victims of this, so they engineered them to be immune to most poisons. Weyoun takes a swig from one to prove his point.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork : With Dukat, and later (even more hilariously) Damar.
• Teleporter Accident : How Weyoun 5 dies (at least, they never prove that it wasn't an accident).
• They Killed Kenny Again : The first one to be introduced is Weyoun 4 (who dies at the end of his debut episode). By the time the war ends, it's Weyoun 8 who bites it.
• Damar burst out laughing when Worf killed him, and mocked the next clone about it as well.
• It's possible that between his intense loyalty to the Founders and his knowledge that they'll clone him, he simply has no sense of self-preservation. Taunting a very pissed off Garak knowing he's the last, however...
• Tragic Villain : There's something very sad about Weyoun devoting his entire existence to the Founders, who regard him, as best, as a particularly useful tool that is nonetheless disposable. He worships them and is utterly loyal to them and they in turn return none of that loyalty because he's a Vorta and it's expected of him. The Female Changeling regrets him being killed in the end - but at the same time she openly was going to kill Weyoun 8 the moment a new clone would be available. Weyoun also notes the founders engineered his race to lack many of the capacity for entertainment other species have . He has no ability to appreciate art and poor eyesight, and the only food they really like are berries and nuts they apparently subsisted on before being uplifted by the founders. Weyoun is aware of those shortcoming but too blinded by faith to question them.
• Undying Loyalty : Even by Dominion standards.
• The Unfettered : Most definitely qualifies for his often frightening devotion to the Founders and their cause. He would do ANYTHING for them... the only 'right' or 'wrong' that exists for this character is whether or not something will serve the Founders.
• Unfriendly Fire : How Weyoun 4 dies, courtesy of his Jem'Hadar First.
• Weyoun even calls out Dukat's petty and self-serving behaviors to his face, but in ways that Dukat might not see as flat-out insults at the time.
• In the script notes for the aftermath of the Dominion's occupation of DS9, it's noted that Weyoun lived in Bashir's quarters and was building a collection of random stuff - like string and things we might consider trash.
• Weyoun is fascinated by alien games, including the Dabo wheel in Quark's bar. Dukat has to pry him away from it. (In an unfilmed scene from "The Sound of Her Voice", Quark admits the only way he survived during the Dominion occupaton was by overcharging Weyoun.) "DABO! Hehe! (That is Dabo, isn't it?)"
• Not technically Weyoun; but his renegade clone, Weyoun 6, flummoxes Odo by sampling every item from Odo's food replicator on their runabout (with chopsticks!) claiming he likes the varying textures.
• We Have Reserves : This is what ultimately causes Damar to defect. It's not enough that Cardassian troops are being fed into the Dominion's meat grinder, or that Dominion troops now occupy all of Cardassia. Now Weyoun is auctioning off Cardassian territories to the Breen in exchange for their help. Weyoun : We need the Breen to win this war. When it's over, there will be more than enough territories available to compensate Cardassia for the loss of a few minor planets. Damar : (fuming) There're no " minor " planets in the Cardassian Union!
• Your Favorite : When a holo-image of Weyoun says to Bashir, "Do you remember when I first offered you scones?" in that magnificent voice of his, after delivering said scones on a tray (with jam and tea, just the way Bashir likes it!) to a flustered and freaked out Bashir.

Odo : Has it ever occurred to you that the reason you believe the Founders are gods is because that's what they want you to believe? That they built it into your genetic code? Weyoun 6 : Of course they did. That's what gods do. After all, why be a god if there's no one to worship you? — "Treachery, Faith, and the Great River"

• Clone Angst : By Dominion standards, anyway. Weyoun 6, who was considered "defective" after he questioned the plan to invade the Alpha Quadrant and decided to defect. Despite being bred to be loyal and serve the Founders, Weyoun 6 realises that both could still apply if he served Odo , who just happens to be allied with the Federation. Unfortunately, he was killed shortly after by his replacement, Weyoun 7.
• Defector from Decadence : He thinks the Dominion War will end in their loss and goes to the one Founder who would share that opinion: Odo.
• Died in Your Arms Tonight : Odo's arms, specifically.
• Dies Wide Shut : After he expires, Odo makes sure to close his eyes.
• Heel–Face Door-Slam : This Weyoun actually felt some remorse for what he had done. As he lay dying, he expressed terror that he'd failed in his mission.
• Heroic Sacrifice : Activated his termination implant to save Odo from the attacking Jem'Hadar ship.
• My Country, Right or Wrong : Subverted. He saw himself as loyal to the Founders and the Dominion as a whole, but he just couldn't support the war, seeing it as both immoral and ultimately counter to the Dominion's best interests.
• Offered the Crown : Asks Odo to come take over the Dominion and reform it after the Founders die. Odo never gives him a definitive answer, but the Founders don't die at the end, and Odo does wind up joining them and trying to reform them .
• Redemption Equals Death : He didn't do much evil himself (having defected not long after activation), but Weyoun 7 tells him that the only way he can redeem himself is by punching his kill switch.
• Sympathy for the Devil : Odo clearly did not know how to feel about one of his greatest enemies dying in his arms.
• Token Good Teammate : Of the Weyouns, and arguably the Dominion itself, at least until Damar turns.
• White Sheep : The only Weyoun who isn't blindly faithful to the Founders' plan.

• Asshole Victim : Both the smoking hole in his chest and the indignity of having his corpse used as a poorly-animated puppet are richly deserved.
• Dirty Coward : Keevan happily sells out the Jem'Hadar under his command to save his own neck, as well as giving himself up to the Federation rather than commit suicide, as Vorta are expected to do. Further, during the attempted hostage exchange, Keevan takes the first opportunity to make a run for it, although given the kind of welcome he was likely to get from the Dominion, this is more understandable.
• Dying Declaration of Hate : His final words after being shot are that he hates the Ferengi.
• Faux Affably Evil : He pays lip service to the Vorta's typical affable nature, but he fails to hide (or even make much of an effort at hiding) what a self-interested slimeball he really is.
• Hate Sink : Smug, selfish, and willing to sell out his own troops. According to Word of God , he was written to be "as despicable as possible".
• Humiliation Conga : Receives a very satisfying one in "The Magnificent Ferengi" that lasts beyond his death.
• In a way, though, it's also a Mercy Kill . With no supply of ketracel-white, the Jem'Hadar will slowly go violently insane, killing everything in their path before dying themselves.
• Karmic Death : Accidentally shot by Quark's cousin, but it still pays to see him phasered.
• Smug Snake : Even more so than Weyoun, if that were somehow possible.
• Welcome Back, Traitor : He knows that if he's handed back to the Dominion, they'll "debrief" him with the most amount of pain they can dole out, likely including a You Have Failed Me and his next clone being activated, so he's not exactly happy to go back.

• Early-Installment Weirdness : She's the first Vorta we meet and the only one to show telekinetic powers.
• False Innocence Trick : She claims that the Vorta were conquered by the Dominion, when in reality they're second-in-command.
• It Has Only Just Begun : Her final words to Sisko: "You have no idea what's begun here."
• Trojan Horse : She's a Dominion spy masquerading as a fugitive from them, but she's discovered before she can do any real damage.
• Meaningful Name : In Greek mythology, Eris is the goddess of discord.

• Actor Allusion : Some versions of Yelgrun from the Star Trek collectible card game have the "Music" talent as a nod to Iggy’s behind the scenes status as a legendary musician, even though Vortas canonically have no artistic ability.
• Affably Evil : Perfectly willing to make a deal and abide by the terms of it, as well as being quite friendly with Ishka, despite threatening to kill her if Quark doesn't make good on his end of their arrangement.
• Deadpan Snarker : Makes a lot of snarky comments throughout his sole appearance. In particular, when Quark makes a joke about the universality of family problems, Yelgrun just shrugs and points out that he was cloned.
• Dirty Coward : Like Keevan and Weyoun 6, Yelgrun doesn't activate his termination implant upon capture, and he spent the brief shootout between the Ferengi and the Jem'Hadar cowering in a corner.
• Hypocrite : Despite being sent to bring in Keevan for failing to kill himself upon being captured, as Vorta are required to do, he himself fails to commit suicide after being captured by the Ferengi.
• Odd Friendship : With Ishka, as she is seen giving him business advice, and he in turn says that he really doesn't want to have to kill her if Quark fails to live up to his end of the agreement.
• Pragmatic Villainy : While a full platoon of Jem'Hadar would be able to take out a half-dozen lightly-armed Ferengi without breaking any sweat, as Quark correctly surmises, Yelgrun won't actually have them attack, as the Ferengi would just kill Keevan as soon as the fighting started, leaving the Dominion unable to find out what secrets he gave up to the Federation.
• Villain Respect : He genuinely admires the Ferengi for their cunning and hopes that they'll join the Dominion.

• Dirty Coward : Unlike Damar, who stood bravely for his execution, and Dukat, who never lost his Smug Snake -ness, Broca died whining about how loyal he actually was and how it was unfair.
• Neck Lift : The Female Changeling lifts him up by the throat in a moment of anger.
• Puppet King : He's even more of a puppet than Damar. "I serve the Founders in all things."
• The Quisling : Why he is listed here and not on the Cardassian page, as he's far more willing to go with the Dominion party line than Dukat or Damar were.
• You Have Failed Me : Taken out and shot as soon as the Cardassian fleet switches sides as a preemptive measure.

• Deadpan Snarker : When Legate Damar observes that he and Thot Gor are equal in rank, Gor tells Damar to fix his Universal Translator .
• The Faceless : We never do get to see what they look like under those masks.
• The Unintelligible : To the audience. Everyone seems to understand what he's saying though.
• We Have Reserves : Orders a suicide attack on Federation Headquarters .
• What Happened to the Mouse? : Thot Gor is replaced by Thot Pran after the second battle of Chin'toka, with no given explanation. Word of God though is that he was replaced because Todd Slayton (his actor) was "too skinny to be a supreme leader".

• Blood Knight : Thot Pran is noticeably more eager to fight than his predecessor, insisting on joining the Jem'Hadar on the front lines during the Dominion's last stand at Cardassia Prime.
• Creepy High-Pitched Voice : The Female Changeling remarks at one point that she "finds the shrillness of his voice very tiresome". The audience has to take her word for it, given that what they hear is unintelligible electronic gibberish.
• Deadpan Snarker : About as much as his predecessor was. Special mention goes to his Implied Death Threat to Weyoun 8 during a meeting with the Female Changeling. She agrees with him .
• The Dragon : Effectively becomes this to the Female Changeling during the waning hours of the war.
• The Faceless : As per usual with his people.
• The Unintelligible : Ditto.
