The leader of the Trill in 3189, who at first rejects the human Adira as an unfit host for the Tal symbiont and later welcomes them once the joining is shown to be genuine.
Leader Pav appears in Forget Me Not, played by Karen Robinson. When Discovery brings Adira to Trill, hoping the symbiont's memories can be unlocked, the planet's people are overjoyed to see a lost symbiont return, since the Burn cost them many hosts.
Their joy turns to dismay on learning that the host is human. Pav rules that the joining is an aberration and orders the visitors to leave. Only Guardian Xi is willing to take Adira to the Caves of Mak'ala.
After Adira reconnects with the earlier hosts in the pools and recites their names, Pav concedes the error and acknowledges that outsiders may be able to carry symbionts, a hopeful prospect for her people.
