Ornithar was the First Minister of the Karemma.

In 2371, he was approached by Federation and Ferengi representatives aboard the USS Defiant in an attempt to contact the Founders. Ornithar admitted that the only contact the Karemma had with the Founders was through their representatives, the Vorta. He did direct the Defiant crew to Callinon VII, where they had been instructed to send all inquiries. He would also arrange for transport for the Ferengi representative, Quark, back to Deep Space 9.
