Donik was a young Hirogen technician who was rescued by the USS Voyager when the holograms led by Iden rebelled in 2377. When Voyager answered his distress call, Donik warned them to stay away. He fired his weapon at them, before Tuvok sneaked up behind Donik and rendered him unconscious with a nerve pinch. Donik had lost a lot of blood, so he was beamed to sickbay. He was the only survivor of the hologram attack. Donik is, to date, the only Hirogen civilian ever seen onscreen.
