Hovath in 2369
Hovath was a Bajoran who lived in a small village and was an understudy to the Sirah, a storyteller who drove away a mythical beast called the Dalrok which attacked the village once a year at harvest time. The fact that the Dalrok was just an illusion to unite the villagers was known only to the Sirah. A piece of the celestial temple was used to channel the villagers' fears to create the illusion. The first Sirah did this because the village was divided by hate.
In 2369, Chief Miles O'Brien beamed down to the village with Doctor Julian Bashir to treat the ill Sirah. When the Sirah died, instead of naming Hovath as his replacement, he named O'Brien as the new Sirah. Hovath was initinally angry and this apparent snub and even physically attacked O'Brien before accepting the desision. When O'Brien could not drive the Dalrok away, however, Hovath stepped in and drove it away, proving that he had the ability to become the new Sirah, as the old Sirah had intended all along. (DS9: "The Storyteller")
Curiously, fighting off Hovath's attack with Bashir was one of several memories O'Brien fondly recalled when leaving his assignemt on Deep Space 9 in late 2375. (DS9 "What You Leave Behind")
- Hovath was played by Lawrence Monoson.
