Dicky Poole was an individual who attended Starfleet Medical Academy with Julian Bashir.
Biography[]
In 2370, Bashir received a message allegedly from Poole, who was now apparently involved in a sleep chamber business. In reality, Poole's name was being used a Yridian con man to get Bashir's endorsement. A year later, Bashir helped Odo to get the Yridian arrested on Deep Space 9, getting the Yridian's confidence by pretending he still thought Poole was involved.
