Home > Dax (Star Trek)

Dax is a Trill symbiont, a very long-lived slug-shaped entity that is hosted by a succession of humanoid Trills, a process called "joining". Each of the hosts has access to the memories of the previous hosts including the accumulated skills and work experiences. Two of Dax's hosts, Jadzia and Ezri, were regular characters on Deep Space Nine. Dax has had a total of ten hosts:

1. Lela; embodied into Kira Nerys during Jadzia's zhian'tara
2. Tobin; embodied into Miles O'Brien during Jadzia's zhian'tara
3. Emony; embodied into Leeta during Jadzia's zhian'tara
4. Audrid; embodied into Quark during Jadzia's zhian'tara
5. Torias; embodied into Julian Bashir during Jadzia's zhian'tara
6. Joran ( Jeff Magnus McBride in episode "Equilibrium" and Leigh J. McCloskey in "Field of Fire"); embodied into Benjamin Sisko during Jadzia's zhian'tara
7. Curzon ( Frank Owen Smith - episode "Emissary"); embodied into Odo during Jadzia's zhian'tara
8. Jadzia ( Terry Farrell);
9. Verad ( John GloverJohn Glover (born 1944) is an American actor in films and television. One of his roles included Verad in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Invasive Procedures. Glover, John. - episode "Invasive Procedures")
10. Ezri ( Nicole de Boer).

In an alternate future, a descendant of Jadzia's, Yedrin ( Gary FrankComic book artist, notable for his work with J. Michael Straczynski on Midnight Nation and Supreme Power. He has also notably worked with Peter David on The Incredible Hulk and Supergirl. - episode "Children of Time"), was shown to be hosting Dax.

Joran hosted Dax only briefly before he was found to be a murderer. The Symbiosis Commission subsequently attempted to cover-up their error, though was later discovered when a memory block began to fail, causing Jadzia Dax to recall memories of Joran.

Verad was a rejected candidate for joining that took the Dax symbiont from Jadzia by force and had it implanted in himself. Dax was later returned to Jadzia (in a sense making Jadzia both the eighth and tenth hosts, though it is not generally counted this way).
