Arridor was a Ferengi doctor. He and Kol were the representatives the Ferengi Alliance led by DaiMon Goss sent to bid during the opportunity to buy the Barzan wormhole in 2366.

He assisted Goss in incapacitating the Federation negotiator Seth Mendoza by placing pyrocytes from the DaiMon's own blood on his palm so they would infect Mendoza when he and Goss shook hands. He and Kol later took a shuttle into the wormhole, accompanying a shuttlepod from the USS Enterprise-D. Despite warnings that the wormhole had taken the two vessels to the Delta Quadrant instead of the Gamma Quadrant as it was expected to, Arridor refused to follow the Starfleet shuttlepod back through the wormhole. Moments after the shuttlepod entered the wormhole, its terminus changed, leaving Arridor and Kol stranded in the Delta Quadrant. (TNG: "The Price")

Arridor and Kol eventually made their way to a planet, home of a pre-warp civilization, specifically the Takar region, where they passed themselves off as the Great Sages of Takarian mythology. Under this guise, Arridor and Kol obtained vast wealth by demanding tribute from the Takarians. In 2373, the planet was visited by the USS Voyager, and the two were driven, with the help of Neelix posing as the Holy Pilgrim, to leave the planet as in the last verse of the Song of the Sages. Arridor and Kol fled Voyager in their shuttle and attempted to return to Takar but were instead pulled into the Barzan wormhole, making it even more unstable. Their fate is unknown. (VOY: "False Profits")

Arridor was played by actor Dan Shor.
