A leader of the Hazari bounty hunters contracted to capture Voyager in 2375, who joins forces with Captain Janeway after learning that the Think Tank arranged the hunt for its own ends.
Saowin appears in the fifth-season Voyager episode Think Tank, played by Christopher Shea. The Hazari are relentless hunters for hire, and Saowin commands the ships that surround Voyager and cut off its escape routes after a large bounty is placed on it.
The trap gives the problem-solving group led by Kurros its opening to offer Voyager a way out, at the price of Seven of Nine joining them. Janeway's crew capture a Hazari vessel and discover that the bounty was posted by the Think Tank itself.
Shown the evidence, Saowin agrees to a scheme in which the Hazari pretend to seize Voyager while Seven links with the Think Tank and disrupts its systems. With its cloak gone and its ship exposed, the group is left to face the hunters it tried to cheat.
