An official of the Karemma Ministry of Trade who meets the Defiant in the Gamma Quadrant in 2371 and reluctantly tells Sisko where his people send their messages to the Dominion.
Ornithar is a Karemma who appears in the third-season Deep Space Nine episode The Search, Part I. The Karemma are members of the Dominion who trade with the Ferengi, and Quark, who brokered that business, is brought along to make the introduction.
Sisko wants to find the Founders. Ornithar protests that the Karemma deal only with the Vorta and the Jem'Hadar and have never needed to know more, but he is persuaded to come aboard the cloaked Defiant and guide it.
He points the crew to a communications relay on Callinon VII, to which Karemma messages for the Dominion are directed. Ornithar and Quark then leave the ship, and Dax and O'Brien beam down to the relay to trace the signal onward.
