Donald Marquand was the Temporary Representative to the planet Abraxas Archon Zone during the late T.C. 4600s. Amidst a climate of reconciliatory policies between the Immigrant Fleet and the Galaxy Federation, he was suspected of controlling a far right-wing organization in favor of the Federation. In an effort to wipe away that scandal, he assembled a group of children who had inherited the bloodline of the Immigrant Fleet, which was under Abraxas's galactic jurisdiction, to form the Goodwill Ambassadorship. He held an amnesty summit to bring the Immigrant Fleet and Galaxy Federation together, but the event was targeted by Voyager.
