Shakaar Edon

Shakaar Edon was a Bajoran farmer and resistance leader, who later became the First Minister of the Republic of Bajor in the late 24th century.

Shakaar achieved prominence as the leader of a major anti-Cardassian cell. Among those in his cell was Kira Nerys, whom he sent on her first raid when she was 13 years of age. After 25 years of fighting the Cardassian occupiers, the Occupation ended, and he became a farmer.

In 2371, Shakaar refused to return soil reclamators that he had waited for three years to Kai Winn who had become acting first minister of Bajor. He was promised the use of the machinery for one year, and had waited three year to receive the reclamators. Winn sent the militia to arrest him, but they joined Shakaar. He became Bajoran First Minister in late 2371 after Kai Winn Adami withdrew from the race, after he and Kira Nerys threatened to reveal that she was willing to plunge Bajor into civil war over the soil reclamators. (DS9: "Shakaar")

In 2372, Shakaar arrived at Deep Space Nine to negotiate Bajor's admittance into the Federation. Shakaar had pushed to cut in half the time Bajor had to wait to join the Federation. He was threatened by the Cardassian terrorist movement called the True Way. A True Way operative nearly killed him twice during the conference by sabotaging his turbolift car, and depressurizing his quarters. He was saved both times by the crew of Deep Space 9. It was at this time that he realized he has fallen in love with Kira and he began a romance with her. (DS9: "Crossfire")

He was at Major Kira Nerys' bedside when she gave birth to Miles O'Brien and Keiko O'Brien's baby Kirayoshi O'Brien in 2373. Kira and Shakaar ended their relationship later that year, after a visit to the Kenda shrine on Bajor revealed that they were not meant to walk the same path, although the pair remained friends. (DS9: "The Begotten", "Children of Time")

After Bajor signed a nonaggression pact with the Dominion later that year, Shakaar ordered all Bajoran to leave Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Call to Arms")

Shakaar led Bajor during the Dominion War, keping it nominally neutral but a de facto Federation ally. Shakaar's government also prevented the Romulan Star Empire from fortifying a Bajoran moon, even order the Bajoran Milita to blockade the moon in the face of the Imperial Romulan Fleet.

DS9 Relaunch
In 2376, during a goodwill tour of the Federation, Shakaar Edon was infested by a Parasite; the Parasite infesting him forced him to issue orders to Second Minister Asarem Wadeen to stonewall peace negotiations with the Cardassian Union; at the ceremony signing the documents bringing the Republic of Bajor into the Federation, Shakaar was assassinated by Hiziki Gard, a joined Trill who had discovered his infestation status.

Star Trek: Pendragon
In the Pendragon timeline, Constable Odo was still trapped on Earth when Shakaar visited Deep Space 9 in 2372. Because of that, the True Way succeeded in assassinating Shakaar, and he died in the arms of Kira Nerys. His death at such a crucial stage fractured the Bajoran Provisional Government, and almost five years of political infighting began on Bajor. (Star Trek: Pendragon: "True North", "Restoration")
