Biography[]
Early career[]
In the early2330s, Darhe'el was present at the destruction of theKiessa Monastery. (DS9novel:Fearful Symmetry)
Darhe'el was a favorite ofDanig Kell, who had planned to make Darhe'el the newPrefect of Bajor, beforeSkrain Dukat increased his standing with theCardassian Central Command and was given the post. (TLE -Terok Nornovel:Night of the Wolves)
Gallitep[]
Darhe'el was assigned to the mining facility atGallitep in2336. The facility was located in an area ofBajor rich in resources and was one of the most important Cardassian locations on theplanet. (TLE -Terok Nornovel:Night of the Wolves)
Darhe'el was known to be a brutal leader, running a camp where theBajoran workers suffered horribly and were often executed on Darhe'el's orders for no reason. Darhe'el allowed the soldiers under his command to beat, rape and kill the Bajoran workers. (DS9episode: "Duet")
In2346, Darhe'el attended a meeting onTerok Nor called by Gul Dukat the newprefect with Kell andKotan Pa'Dar also in attendance. Darhe'el presented his opinion that offering any concessions to the Bajorans to make them accept Cardassian rule would be foolish. (TLE -Terok Nornovel:Night of the Wolves)
In2353, Darhe'el traveled home toCardassia to be awarded theProficient Service Medallion. While there, a mining accident occurred at Gallitep that killed several Cardassians and Bajorans, infecting those with a disease that became known asKalla-Nohra Syndrome. (DS9episode: "Duet",TLE -Terok Nornovel:Night of the Wolves)
After returning to Bajor, Darhe'el was called into an urgent meeting with Dukat. Dukat condemned Darhe'el for the events that had taken place at Gallitep, although Darhe'el blamed Central Command for not supplying him with more resources, personnel and equipment. Dukat put a reprimand in Darhe'el's file and ordered him to get Gallitep back in operation. Darhe'el suggested executing several Bajorans, an act Dukat took under advisement before ordering Darhe'el back to Gallitep. (TLE -Terok Nornovel:Night of the Wolves)
In2357, Darhe'el contacted Dukat, telling him the resources at Gallitep had been completely tapped. Darhe'el asked Dukat for permission to shut down production, including theartificial intelligence used to help run the facility. It was expected that Legate Kell would order Darhe'el to return to Cardassia. (TLE -Terok Nornovel:Night of the Wolves)
Retirement and death[]
Darhe'el returned to Cardassia later in 2357, having decided to retire from military service. Darhe'el was honored with a formal reception at theState Museum of Natural History inCardassia City. Darhe'el maintained his bigotry towards the Bajorans, stating that he believed they would either have to accept Cardassian rule or be exterminated. Darhe'el also condemned those in Central Command who he believed had not allowed him to empty Gallitep of its Bajoran workers before it was liberated by theBajoran Resistance. (DS9novel:Fearful Symmetry)
In2363, Darhe'el suffered a coleibric hemorrhage and died in his sleep. Prior to hisfuneral, his body was displayed to the Cardassian people and was buried in one of the largest monuments on Cardassia. (DS9episode: "Duet")
Dukat felt Darhe'el was not worthy of such an honor, and other Cardassians felt Darhe'el's funeral was garish. (TLE -Terok Nornovel:Dawn of the Eagles)
Legacy[]
In2369,Aamin Marritza, a file clerk who had worked at Gallitep, posed as Darhe'el and booked transport toDeep Space 9 (formerTerok Nor), hoping to expose the horrors Darhe'el had perpetrated at Gallitep. Marritza hoped the trial of "Darhe'el" on Bajor would force Cardassians everywhere to acknowledge the wrongs made during the Occupation. (DS9episode: "Duet")
TheDarhe'el Monument was visited by pilgrims into the2370s, where those wanting to pay their respects to a man they saw as a great military officer filed passed the tomb.Rugal Pa'Dar,Penelya Khevet andTora Ziyal visited the Darhe'el Monument in2372. (DS9novel:The Never-Ending Sacrifice)
