Star Trek's 10 Most Iconic English Villains

Although most of his career has been in the theatre, as a playwright and director as well as an actor, Steven Berkoff seemed to be Hollywood's go-to British villain of the 80s. Not only did he appear in Rambo: First Blood Part II, and Beverly Hill's Cop, but he also joined the list of illustrious Bond villains when he fought against Roger Moore in Octopussy.

In an episode which was far from Business As Usual however, Berkoff boards Deep Space Nine as a business partner of Cousin Gaila. Helping Quark to realise there is more to life than owning your own moon, Hagath is a shrewd arms dealer who seems to live by just one Rule of Acquisition, the 34th: War is good for business.

He may not be Ferengi himself, but that doesn't mean he never had the lobes for business. He supplied weapons to the Bajoran resistance, but rather than for his own philanthropic or even economic reasons, he did so to reap the rewards of their friendship. Upon their liberation they owed him, allowing him to conduct whatever business he so desired within their borders: business which in this case involved valuing gold pressed latinum over the lives of 28 million civilians.

At the great relief to all those who would never know how much they owed him, this was one deal which Quark was able to interrupt, resulting in both Hagath and Gaila being pursued by a Palamarian Purification Squad. And all it costs Quark is the repair bill for a rather scorched cargo-bay.

Thankfully Sisko is open to the idea of paying it off in instalments.
