A holographic pool shark who haunts the bar Chez Sandrine, the Marseilles bistro programme that Tom Paris recreates on Voyager's holodeck.
Gaunt Gary is a character in the holodeck programme Chez Sandrine, written by Tom Paris from his memories of a bar he frequented in Marseilles as a cadet. He appears in the Voyager episodes The Cloud, Jetrel and Twisted.
A lean, weathered hustler, Gary spends his time at the pool table sizing up newcomers. In The Cloud he takes Captain Janeway for an easy mark, only to watch her run the table.
Along with Sandrine herself and the flirtatious Ricky, he gives the bar its atmosphere, and the programme becomes the crew's main off-duty meeting place during the first two years of the journey.
