Sarish Rez is the Bajoran official who accompanies First Minister Shakaar to Deep Space 9 as his aide and works with Odo on security after a Cardassian group threatens Shakaar's life.
Sarish Rez appears in the fourth-season episode Crossfire, played by Bruce Wright. He travels with Shakaar Edon when the First Minister visits Deep Space 9 for talks on Bajor's admission to the Federation.
When word arrives that the Cardassian extremist group known as the True Way intends to assassinate Shakaar on the station, Sarish is the member of the delegation who deals with Odo and Worf over the protective arrangements, while Shakaar himself is reluctant to be shut away from the people he has come to meet.
The threat proves real when a turbolift carrying Shakaar, Kira and Odo is sabotaged. Sarish's role is small, but he stands for the official world that now surrounds the former resistance leader.
