Biography[]
At some point prior to the year 2372, Sobel was lured in by the Path of Sky Institute, where he was joined with a genetically engineered telepathic clone of the Vess symbiont and subjected to an axonal injury that snuffed out his consciousness. Sobel's corpse continued life under the control of Vess, as one of many in the service of a diabolical plan to free rogue symbionts held in stasis. To this end, the subverted Sobel issued orders in Brac's name to thwart the investigation of the matter by Starfleet Lieutenant Commander Jadzia Dax.
When Dax and Worf defeated and killed the original Vess, which had taken the body of Dax's friend Nemi Prit, all of those operating with the cloned symbionts lost consciousness, with their bodies finally dying. Bentis Brac refused to accept the truth of what had happened, accusing Dax and Worf of killing Sobel, even though Sobel had been killed much earlier and lived on only as a revenant.
