Trelar was a male Bajoran and a member of the Shakaar resistance cell during the Occupation of Bajor. He was quiet man who was regarded as a philosopher by his comrades. Kira Nerys believed he would have been a teacher, a scholar or a priest if he was not fighting the Cardassians. Years later, after Corat Damar's death storming Dominion Headquarters, Kira realised what Shakaar had meant. (DS9 - Prophecy and Change short story: "Face Value")
