Star Trek: 10 WORST Things Gul Dukat Has Ever Done

10. Seeking His Daughter So He Can Execute Her

Indiscretion sees Major Kira teaming up with Gul Dukat - despite high protestation - to find the survivors of the Ravinok. This Cardassian transport vessel was lost during the Occupation, presumably with all hands. One of Kira's friends was a passenger but so, too, was a woman close to Dukat's heart.

Tora Naprem was, seemingly, one of Dukat's many comfort women that he kept during the Occupation. Though he professed to love her, he had another reason for the search, as became clear when they did in fact find the wreckage of the ship. He and Naprem had a daughter together - Tora Ziyal - who Dukat was now searching for.

For a moment, Kira softened toward him. He amended that rather quickly by informing her that if he found Ziyal, he would have to kill her. The existence of a half-Bajoran daughter of the Occupation would threaten Dukat's standing in society. something he couldn't risk. Despite Kira's outrage, he was determined to destroy all evidence of his infidelities.

Though he did, in the end, let Ziyal live and even bring her back to Cardassia with him, there is no doubt that without Kira forcing him to hesitate, he would have shot his own daughter.
