In the mirror universe, Gul Elim Garak was the Cardassian second-in-command of the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance outpost Terok Nor at Bajor, serving under Intendant Kira Nerys. Garak chafed under Kira's command, constantly wishing to set violent and brutal examples to quell minor resistance from the Terran slaves who were working in the ore processing facilities on the station. Garak was constantly hatching plots to kill the Intendant and take command of the station himself—plots that were always transparent and unsuccessful. (DS9 episode: "Crossover")
