Kandal was a Bajoran who wrote several prophecies.
In 2267, Major Kira Nerys read Kandal's prophecies to see how she could use the Orb of Time to return the USS Defiant to the year 2373. Kandal's writings helped her to successfully return the Defiant and the crew to their own time. (DS9 novelization: Trials and Tribble-ations)
