In the mirror universe, Taran'atar was a Jem'Hadar in the service of the Dominion who lived during the latter half of the 24th century. By the early 2380s, he had a long and distinguished service record and was considered an Honored elder. He was born without his species' normal dependency on ketracel-white, though he still took it everyday as he regarded it as part of his duty as a First to accept the gift of the Founders with gratitude as an example to his men. The Vorta Eris regarded him as "a gifted thinker condemned to live among the cannon fodder."
