Sigol Rusot

Rusot was a male Cardassian and a Gul in the Cardassian Guard in the 2370s. He was a close friend and aide of Corat Damar and the pair served the Cardassian Union together for all of their adult lives. (SS DS9 (Face Value))

In 2373, Rusot welcomed the Union's entry into the Dominion, believing they would help the Cardassian people conquer the galaxy. He later realised he was mistaken and believed his people had been conquered themselves and had become servants of the Dominion. Rusot was later assigned to Terok Nor during the Dominion's control of it until 2374. Damar would often tell Rusot how much he despised Kira Nerys. 

Rusot later helped his friend Damar in his preparations to begin a rebellion by compiling a list of trusted officers and their troops for the attack on Rondac III. As the attack neared, Rusot was concerned that many fine soldiers would die in the attack, although Damar reassured him they would be dying for Cardassian and not the Dominion. 

After the attack, Rusot accompanied Damar to Vanden Prime, the primary base for the Rebellion. Rusot was uneasy about accepting help from the Federation (such as replicator]]s)but his main problem was working with Kira Nerys. Rusot took exception to Kira's idea to attack locations where Cardassians would be amongst those killed, although Damar overruled him. Intending to annoy Kira, Rusot brought up the fact that the majority of the Bajorans Odo charged while stationed on Terok Nor during the Occupation were executed by the Cardassians. 

Several days later, Rusot's men placed an explosive on a Jem'Hadar fighter, destroying it as it left orbit of a planet. Kira angrily confronted him over the fact that his men had ignored orders and planted the device in a place where the Jem'Hadar could have easily found it and deactivated it. Rusot was unphased, as the mission had been successful. After Kira and Elim Garak planned to steal a energy dampening weapon from the Breen, Rusot was less keen, believing they should not be doing Starfleet's "dirty work". Rusot later confronted Kira, telling her he would attempt to kill when the war was over. Garak was not convinced, telling Kira she should kill Rusot first.

Rusot later joined Kira, Damar, Garak and Odo on the mission to the Kelvas V space station. Although the ship's bridge crew were killed, they were unable to leave as the Breen had not finished installing the weapon. After Odo collapsed due to the effects of the morphogenic virus, Rusot wanted to leave. He produced a phaser and pointed it at Kira, although Garak pointed it at Rusot himself. Rusot implored Damar to let him kill Kira and Garak. Faced with difficult choice, Damar killed Rusot, explaining that "He was my friend. But his Cardassia is dead... and it won't be coming back". 

Damar labored continuously over his decision to kill Rusot for several weeks. Although he wondered why he had chosed Kira over Rusot, he knew in his heart she was the best hope for freeing Cardassia from the Dominion. Garak also recalled Damar's words several weeks later. (SS DS9 (Face Value))
