Yarka

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

Yarka in 2371.

Yarka was a former member of the Vedek Assembly. In 2371, several Cardassian scientists came to the Bajoran sector in an attempt to establish permanent communications to the Gamma Quadrant through the Bajoran wormhole. Yarka became convinced that Trakor's Third Prophecy was coming true and that the Celestial Temple would be destroyed. He urged Commander Benjamin Sisko not to assist the Cardassians in this venture, though Sisko ultimately chose not to follow Yarka's warnings.

After the wormhole was not destroyed, Yarka concluded that he had misinterpreted the prophecy and apologized to Sisko for allowing his mistrust of the Cardassians to blind him to the Prophets' will. He did, however, add that there were signs that Trakor's Fourth Prophecy would soon come to pass. (DS9: "Destiny")

Yarka was played by Erick Avari.
