Maladek

Maladek was the Obsidian Order code name of an operative who was a former student at the Bamarren Institute for State Intelligence where his designation was One Ramaklan.

At the Institute he was the leader of the third level group who were defeated by One Charaban's forces in the institutes mock battle competition. They had agreed to end the competition at a stalemate to share the glory but Charaban betrayed him, this defeat tainted him as he left the institute with his reputation tarnished.

As an Obsidian Order operative Maladek was assigned to the same cell as Elim Garak, they were sent along with the operative Oonal to the planet Tohvum III in a mission to undermine peace talks with the Federation in the Frontier Wars. However Maladek's disgrace got the better off him and he attempted to expose the operation and Elim Garak's (who was the tactician in Charabans team) identity as an operative to the Federation. Garak unbeknownst to him by the will of higher powers in the organisation disgraced Maladek in the eyes of federation operatives assessing Maladeks reliability and in disgrace Maladek committed suicide.
