The leader of the Navot, a Bajoran community whose border dispute with the neighbouring Paqu over a diverted river is brought to Benjamin Sisko for mediation in the episode The Storyteller.
Woban is the leader of the Navot, one of two rival Bajoran communities in the first-season episode The Storyteller. A treaty had long fixed the boundary between the Navot and the Paqu along a river, but the Cardassians diverted its course during the occupation, moving a stretch of land from one side to the other.
With the two peoples close to fighting, Woban comes to Deep Space 9 so that Benjamin Sisko can mediate. A hearty, rather overbearing man, he expects to get the better of his opposite number, the Paqu's leader Varis Sul, who is only fifteen.
Varis proves stubborn rather than weak, and it is advice from Nog and Jake Sisko that leads her to propose a trade that gives both sides something they need, opening the way to a settlement with Woban.
