Ro-Kel

Miradorn twin killed by Croden

One of a pair of Miradorn twins in the episode Vortex, shot dead during a robbery at Quark's by the Rakhari fugitive Croden, leaving his brother Ah-Kel bent on revenge.

Ro-Kel is a Miradorn raider who appears in the first-season episode Vortex. Among his people twins are regarded as two halves of a single self, and he and his brother Ah-Kel come to Deep Space 9 together to sell Quark a valuable jewelled object that has almost certainly been stolen.
Quark has secretly arranged for Croden, a Rakhari drifter recently arrived from the Gamma Quadrant, to burst in and steal the piece. The staged robbery goes wrong when the Miradorn resist, and Croden kills Ro-Kel with a phaser shot.
Ah-Kel, describing himself as incomplete without his twin, swears to kill Croden and later pursues the runabout in which Odo is taking the prisoner home. The Miradorn ship is destroyed when Odo lures it into igniting a pocket of volatile gas in a nebula.
