	ROM PLAYED BY: Max Grodénchik SPECIES: Ferengi Male Rom is Quark's long suffering brother. When Grand Nagus Zek visited Deep Space 9, Quark made Rom give up his quarters for the Nagus. When Zek appointed Quark to be the new Grand Nagus, Rom conspired to kill Quark, and may have succeeded if Zek and Odo hadn't arrived at the last moment. Quark later praised Rom for his treachery.
	KRAX PLAYED BY: Lou Wagner SPECIES: Ferengi Male Krax was the son of Grand Nagus Zek and the unofficial heir-apparent to the throne of the Ferengi Alliance. Krax was shocked when Zek unexpectedly nominated Quark to be his successor in 2369, and immediately retired. When Zek died shortly thereafter, Krax plotted with Quark's brother Rom to assassinate the new Nagus.
	NAVA PLAYED BY: Barry Gordon SPECIES: Ferengi Male Nava was a 24th Century Ferengi businessman who took over the Arcybite mining refineries in the Clarus system. That year, Nava was also invited to a very important conference with Grand Nagus Zek held aboard Deep Space 9. There, Zek saluted Nava for his recent accomplishments in the Clarus system.
	GRAL PLAYED BY: Lee Arenberg SPECIES: Ferengi Male Gral was a 24th Century Ferengi businessman who traveled to DS9 to hear Grand Nagus Zek announce his successor. After Zek announced that he had chosen Quark, Gral commented that Quark was a "lobeless amateur". Later, Gral offered his services as a bodyguard to Quark in return for the most lucrative business opportunities in the Gamma Quadrant. Although Gral called Quark his new best friend, the Grand Nagus realized that the offer of friendship was insincere and that Gral was actually threatening his life.
	NOG PLAYED BY: Aron Eisenberg SPECIES: Ferengi Male Nog is Rom's young son. Sisko was not happy with his son Jake's friendship with Nog, but there was little he could do about it. However, his disapproval quickly disappeared when he discovered that Jake was also teaching Nog how to read, indicating a deep and constructive friendship. Despite the initial reservations at his son being taught by a Human female, Rom eventually allowed his son to attend Keiko O'Brien's primary school on the station.
	MAIHAR'DU PLAYED BY: Tiny Ron SPECIES: Hupyrian Male Maihar'du was the Hupyrian servant of Grand Nagus Zek. He often provided Zek with his favorite drug, Hupyrian beetle snuff.
	ZEK PLAYED BY: Wallace Shawn SPECIES: Ferengi Male Zek was the Grand Nagus of the Ferengi Alliance in 2369. In 2369, he suddenly announced his new successor, Quark (rather than his son Krax), and apparently died soon after. It was discovered that this was only a ploy to test his son's worthiness for the position. However, Krax did not succeed as expected, and Zek postponed his retirement.
