: - '''Garak''', about Sisko

Gul '''Elim Garak''' was the second-in-command of the [[Klingon-Cardassian Alliance]] outpost [[Terok Nor]] in the Bajor sector, serving under [[Intendant]] [[Kira Nerys]].  Garak chafed under Kira's command, constantly wishing to set violent and brutal examples to quell minor resistance from the [[Terran]] slaves who were working in the ore processing facilities on the station.

== Career ==
Garak was constantly hatching plots to kill the Intendant and take command of the station himself -- plots that were always transparent and unsuccessful.  When the [[Kira Nerys (mirror)|Kira Nerys]] from the [[mirror universe]] suddenly arrived on the station in [[Timeline|2370]], Garak saw the opportunity to have the Intendant killed, and have her replaced by the alternative Kira. This Kira would then resign her post, leaving Garak in charge of the station.  However, Garak's plot never came to fruition, because Kira left the station before he could have the Intendant "disappear". ([[CO]])

The next year, Garak relished the chance to make an "example" of [[Terran Rebellion]] leader [[Benjamin Sisko]], but the Intendant was so pleased to have her former lover back at her side that she told Garak to leave him alone.  When [[Rom]] came to the station offering intelligence on Sisko, Garak had him tortured into revealing the plot to help [[Jennifer Sisko]] escape from the station, and then had him killed. ([[TTLG]])

When the rebels attacked and captured Terok Nor from the Alliance in [[Timeline|2372]] through treachery, Garak was the only officer to escape the destruction unharmed.  He was quickly captured by [[Regent]] [[Worf]], however, who placed him in a dog collar as humiliation for the defeat.  However, Garak managed to deftly deflect blame for the loss of the station onto Intendant Kira, and further convinced the Regent that she was to blame for the defeat at the [[Battle of Terok Nor]]. ([[SM]])

Worf and Garak finally managed to capture the Intendant in [[Timeline|2375]], but she managed to bargain for her life by convincing the Regent to use [[Zek]] as a bargaining chip to obtain a [[cloaking device]] from the mirror universe -- a technology that the Alliance did not possess.  Garak was greatly disappointed that he was not able to execute the Intendant, but he planned to execute Zek, [[Quark (mirror)]], and [[Rom (mirror)]] instead.  However, the [[Ferengi]] managed to deflect Garak's attention by pointing out that his plans were amateurish -- "mirror" Elim Garak would have relished the chance to actually interrogate his subjects to learn their secrets.  Garak, however, was more interested in simply killing his prisoners.  Garak was distracted long enough for [[Ezri Tigan|Ezri]] to sneak up on him and inject him with the same [[hypospray]] that he was about to use on Quark.

Garak was left for dead -- the contents of the hypospray he had been injected with was concentrated [[ulcartic virus]], a very deadly and painful disease. ([[TENC]])
