Gegis was a Ferengi. In 2377, he assisted DaiMon Nunk in a failed attempt make a profit by attempting to kidnap Seven of Nine in order to acquire her for her Borg nanoprobes and sell them for profit. This was attempted by having Gegis re-program a hologram of Reginald Barclay to persuade USS Voyager to travel through a geodesic fold in order to capture Seven of Nine. The attempt failed when the real Barclay was able to fool him into closing the fold before Voyager entered. (VOY: "Inside Man")
