A human colonist in the Demilitarised Zone and early member of the Maquis, who joins the Vulcan Sakonna in kidnapping Gul Dukat from Deep Space 9 in 2370.
Amaros is a Maquis fighter who appears in the second-season Deep Space Nine two-part story The Maquis. He is one of the settlers left on the Cardassian side of the new border who have taken up arms after attacks on their colonies.
At the end of the first part he and Sakonna seize Dukat in his quarters on the station and carry him off to a hideout in the Badlands. There Amaros is among those questioning the prisoner about Cardassian weapons smuggling, and he has little patience when Sakonna's attempted mind meld fails.
Sisko's team finds the hideout and frees Dukat. Amaros's anger at the Federation for abandoning the colonists gives an early voice to the Maquis cause.
