A Bajoran follower of Dukat's Pah-wraith cult on Empok Nor, whose wife Mika gives birth to a child that is visibly half Cardassian.
Benyan appears in Covenant, played by Jason Leland Adams.
In 2375 he is one of the community of Bajorans who have settled on the abandoned station under Dukat, whom they call Master. He and his wife Mika have been granted permission to have a child, a privilege in a group whose members have otherwise taken a vow of abstinence, and the birth is awaited as a blessing on the whole community.
When the baby is born with Cardassian features, Benyan is stunned. Dukat announces that the Pah-wraiths have transformed the infant as a sign of their favour, and Benyan struggles to accept the explanation while his wife avoids his eyes. Kira Nerys sees at once that Dukat is the father, a secret he later tries to bury by attempting to kill Mika.
