Quark (Star Trek)

Biography

Born on Ferenginar into 2333, Quark is the son of Keldar and Ishka. It has an younger brother named Rom (itself father of the young person Nog) and many uncles and cousins among whom certain Gaila.

As of its more " tendre" childhood, this Ferengi makes profitable the direction businesses which he inherited his mother (while Keldar always showed a rather poor contractor). It leaves the family home into 2351, at once after having reached the Age of Rise fixed by its people, and it enters then to the service of Sub-Nagus responsible for the one of the districts establish by the administration of Ferenginar. It quickly gains the confidence of its employer by the readily servile attitude which it affects in all circumstances but makes the error to be let carry by his incipient sensuality and is seen constrained to put an end to this promising training when everyone learns that it is in love with the sister of Sub-Nagus. During eight years, he becomes then odd-job man (and in particular cook) on board a vessel-cargo liner ferengi then goes to the whole beginning of the year 2360 on the mining station Terok Nor . On the spot, Quark obtains Cardassien S the authorization to open an establishment of plays also acting as bar (without ceasing implying itself in various associations with the generally fraudulent intrigues). The apparently excellent reports/ratios that it consequently maintains with Gul Dukat, prefect cardassien of Bajor and administrator of Terok Nor , make it possible moreover not very scrupulous Ferengi to devote themselves to gainful employments of black-market near the population Bajoran E. During year 2363, Ferengi becomes acquainted with Cardassienne Natima Lang which admires it in particular for the facility with which it supplies the people bajoran without the knowledge of the occupying forces. The tender relation which settles consecutively lasts however only one month, Natima Lang being indeed seen at the end of this time that his/her lover used his access code personal in order to divert money large sums coming from the department of communication set up by Cardassiens. Besides quark, which regards beautiful Natima as the Love of its life, forever since then ceased regretting its at the very least unfair control and it tries to join again with it when the political standpoint of Doctor Lang leads it to find refuge a few years later on the known orbit station from now on under the name of Deep Space Nine .

In 2369, the tenant plans to leave DS9 at once after the departure of the occupying forces cardassiennes when he sees himself proposing by the commander Benjamin Sisko a " marché" according to the terms of which it must reopen its bar. During years which follow, its relations with the officers of Starfleet and with Bajorans remain in teeth of saw, depending mainly on the degree of cupidity that it integrates there. Its acute sense of the businesses is worth indeed in Quark a notorious prosperity but its respectability is only apparent and the confidence which one can reasonably grant to him is always proportional for the benefit which he hopes to withdraw from the assistance that he brings to others.

During year 2370, Ferengi is astonished by its unusual inclination towards Pel, which belongs to the personnel of its bar and whose direction of the businesses impresses it highly. Of return of a negotiation carried out in its company, it has finally the immense one surprised to discover that the person whom it took for a young compatriot is in fact a woman of her people, decided well to face the interdicts sexists in force on Ferenginar, which embarks soon on board a vessel of transport in departure for the Quadrant Gamma.

Implied in the accidental death of the Klingon Kozak into 2371, Quark receives then the visit of Lady Grilka, widow of the warrior. It is constrained by the latter to lend itself to the rite brek' tal then to marry it and direct its House. Ferengi arrives against any waiting to convince the High council Klingon, in which it is brought to sit, which it is possible for a woman to assume the role of household head. At the end of this arrangement, Grilka agree to divorce Quark which is in addition authorized to regain Deep Space Nine .

With beginning of the year 2371, Ferengi is charged by the Grand Nagus Zek with negotiating with the Dominion. When this dominant power of the Quadrant Gamma enters openly in conflict against the Fédération, these incipient commercial relations however are stopped.

If Quark avoids mixing businesses and feelings, it cannot prevent Klingonne Grilka from returning on DS9 into 2373 in order to obtain some financial councils on behalf of its ex-husband. This last tomb this time under the charm of that to which it was briefly plain two years earlier and it undertakes near her, with the assistance of Worf, a court as assiduous as perilous (which ends up bearing its fruits). All that by no means prevents it from seeking to allure one a little later charming Dabo Girl fore-mentioned Aluura. More ambiguous, the new experiment of the tenant ferengi to end of the year 2374, when he sees himself constrained to be made pass for a woman of his people fore-mentioned “Lumba” (surgical operations with the support) near the very powerful Nilva investor, leaves him curiously as for her a memory " nostalgique".

Following the example majority of the investors, Quark appreciates a war only insofar as it can bring back something to him. That which makes rage between the respective Federation, Dominion and their allies until 2375 him successor in title definitely more troubles than it could profit to him, the tenant ferengi thus attends with relief the final victory of the forces of Starfleet on their adversaries.
