Emblem of the Cardassian Union
Gul Toran was aCardassian male who attended theBamarren Institute for State Intelligence in his youth where he was given the designationFour Lubak.
Four had something of an obsession with the girls at the institute and well developed shoulder ridges making him appear to be older than the rest of the group. He aligned himself withOne's subgroup. Four was one of the hunted in Lubak groups first wilderness hunt and managed to evade capture for an extended period of time. Four was later recruited byTen Lubak andEight Lubak to assist inBarkan Lokar's team in the institute's mock battle competition. He was part of Ten Lubak's team flanking the enemy when the group was attacked byHonge, Four and Ten ended up using their team mateThree Lubak's stunned body as a shield to approach the enemy.
In the next mock battle he again worked with Eight but this time against Barkan Lokar's team, this was however a deception and he purposefully gave away his position resulting in the competition being a draw rather than Eight getting a clear win.
Later in life he became aGul and served under Lokar onBajor during theoccupation.
Despite an offer to negotiate byElim Garak, Toran ordered the destruction of the shuttleTaklan which had been commandeered byBajorans trying to escape a life of slavery onTerok Nor. Garak later sought a deadly revenge on Toran for this brutal act. (DS9novel:A Stitch in Time)
In2370, Toran came to DS9 to arrest the dissidentsNatima Lang,Rekelen andHogue. Toran convinced his government to have the dissidents killed, rather than exchange Bajoran prisoners for them (as Garak had suggested). Toran told Garak to arrange an "accident" that would befall the dissidents, and in exchange Toran would help elevate Garak's standing on Cardassia. However, Garak instead shot and killed Toran himself, realizing that Toran would never keep his word. (DS9episode: "Profit and Loss")
