Q'ret was a Kobali and had two daughters, Jhet'leya and Tynsiya. Mid-2375 his daughter Jhet'leya ran away from home because she remembered parts of her former life, her "kyn'steya", before she became Kobali. It took Q'ret six months to find her again, but she managed to disable his ship. Several days later he found her on board the USS Voyager. After contacting Captain Kathryn Janeway, he was allowed to speak to his daughter, who by now was using her Human name Lyndsay Ballard, and with the help of The Doctor, had transformed her Kobali appearance back to Human. Q'ret was played by Kevin Lowe.
