Silaran Prin was a Cardassian servant, who cleaned uniforms for Gul Pirak during the Occupation of Bajor. He was disfigured when Pirak's house was bombed by members of the Shakaar resistance cell. As Prin was not a member of the Cardassian military and didn't even want to be on Bajor, he believed himself an innocent victim of the Bajoran Resistance's attack. He harbored a desire for revenge for a number of years, until in 2373 he began systematically murdering the members of the Shakaar cell responsible for his injury, using hunter probes he directed from his home on a planet near the Demilitarized Zone.
