The anxious magistrate of a Bajoran village who asks Deep Space 9 for medical help in 2369 when the Sirah, the storyteller who protects his people from the Dal'Rok, falls gravely ill.
Faren Kag is a Bajoran official who appears in the first-season Deep Space Nine episode The Storyteller. He requests urgent medical aid, telling Bashir and O'Brien that his entire village will be destroyed unless one man can be saved.
That man is the Sirah, who each year leads the villagers in driving off a destructive cloud creature called the Dal'Rok. When the dying Sirah names a bewildered O'Brien as his successor, Faren treats the chief with elaborate reverence and presses gifts and attention on him.
The magistrate is as relieved as anyone when the Sirah's real apprentice, Hovath, finally takes his place and the village is safe again.
