Rugal Pa'Dar

Rugal Pa'Dar was a male Cardassian who lived in the 24th century. He was the son of Kotan Pa'Dar and Arys Pa'Dar. He was born in 2358 and for the first several years of his life, Rugal lived with his parents at the Tozhat settlement on Bajor.

In 2362, the Bajoran Resistance bombed Tozhat, killing Rugal's mother. Rugal was believed killed, although Skrain Dukat had actually had a female officer remove Rugal prior to the attack and place him in a Bajoran orphanage. Dukat planned to later reveal that Rugal was alive, and discredit Pa'Dar for "abandoning" Rugal and "allowing" him to be raised by Bajorans. With family being one of the most important aspects of Cardassian society, the revelations would have destroyed Pa'Dar's career. 

Rugal was adopted by Proka Migdal and Proka Etra. In 2370, Rugal and Proka came to Deep Space 9, where Rugal attacked Elim Garak. This would set off an investigation and an intervention by Benjamin Sisko and an investigation into Rugal's disappearance by Garak and Julian Bashir, which revealed Dukat's involvement in Rugal's disappearance. After long and difficult deliberations, Sisko ruled that Rugal should be released to the custody of his father. 

Tora Ziyal knew of her father's order to take Rugal from his father and place him in the orphange.
