A Starfleet infantryman who has held the captured Dominion communications array on AR-558 for five months, and who wears a string of ketracel-white tubes taken from the Jem'Hadar he has killed.
Reese appears in The Siege of AR-558, played by Patrick Kilpatrick.
When Benjamin Sisko's party from the Defiant reaches the planet in 2375, Reese is one of the few dozen survivors of a unit that began with about 150 troops. Quiet and watchful, he carries a large knife and keeps a necklace of white tubes, one for each Jem'Hadar he has killed. Quark is appalled by him, and warns Nog that this is what humans become when their comforts are taken away.
Reese proves a steady and capable soldier. He goes out on the scouting patrol in which Nog is wounded and fights in the final assault on the Starfleet position. He is among those still standing at the end, and leaves his knife behind when the relief troops arrive.
