Penno

Old man of a Vori village

An elderly Vori villager who cares for the girl Karya and shelters Chakotay, and is seemingly marched off to his death by the Kradin.

Penno is a Vori elder. He appears in the fourth-season Voyager episode Nemesis.
Chakotay reaches Penno's village after being wounded in the fighting and is given food, rest and local clothing. The old man speaks of the Kradin in the same ritual language of loathing as the soldiers and looks after the child Karya.
The village is later overrun. Penno, considered too old to work, is taken away to be killed while Karya is sent to a camp, and the scene completes Chakotay's conversion to the Vori cause. Tuvok afterwards finds him in a training complex where the Vori put recruits through this manufactured experience.
