Hiziki Gard

Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.

Hiziki Gard was a joined male Trill. He was joined circa 2256, following the death of Verjyl Gard.

Hiziki Gard was assigned as head of security for the Trill Ambassador Seljin Gandres during the planned induction of Bajor into the United Federation of Planets. At the signing ceremony on Deep Space 9's Promenade, Gard assassinated the Bajoran First Minister, Shakaar Edon, having determined that he was host to a Parasite. He then went into hiding aboard the station using a Federation isolation suit, but was eventually tracked down by Lieutenant Ro Laren and Taran'atar. (DS9 novel: Mission Gamma, Book 4: Lesser Evil)

It was later revealed that the Gard symbiont had long acted as a guardian against, among other things, the return of the parasite aliens. Gard eventually cooperated with the authorities and even briefly hosted a queen parasite alien during the investigation. The Queen did attempt to kill him in the joining but was removed before she could succeed.

The new first minister Asarem Wadeen agreed to extradite Gard to the Trill authorities and after a mandatory trial he was expected to get a pardon by the Trill president. Gard was present at the signing ceremony for Bajor's admittance into the Federation. (DS9 novel: Unity)
