ENSIGN, afterwards LIEUTENANT (JUNIOR GRADE) EZRI DAX became the eighth official host of the Dax symbiont after the tragic death-in-action of her predecessor, Jadzia Dax.The former Ezri Tigan never intended to become Joined. She never accepted training for such Joining. But Jadzia Dax had died suddenly and away from Trill. Ezri was serving as an assistant counselor aboard the Starfleet hospital ship USS Destiny that was then conveying the remains of Jadzia back to Trill for extraction of the symbiont. But the symbiont took a turn for the worse. Because Ezri was the only Trill aboard, the Trill Symbiosis Commission sent her an urgent message: accept and Join with Dax, now!The Symbiosis Commission could offer young Ezri Dax little more than some literature to read. Almost in desperation, she sought out Captain Benjamin L. Sisko. The Pah Wraith that killed Jadzia then entered the wormhole, forcing the Prophets to close it while they fought a pitched battle with the Wraith. Sisko, who considered his mission a failure, had returned to earth. Ezri Dax sought him out there and joined his quest to find the Orb of the Prophets--the opening of which released another Prophet that at last could join the battle and expel the Pah Wraith.Ezri returned to Deep Space Nine with Captain Sisko. As the host of his former wife's consciousness, Ezri had a difficult relationship with Worf. As a further complication, she began to feel attraction to Julian Bashir. Julian had tried to woo Jadzia--and the Dax symbiont assured Ezri that, had Worf not come along, Jadzia would have chosen Julian. And now Ezri would. But that did not stop her from flying a few hazardous missions, including a dramatic rescue of Worf in the last year of the Dominion War.Background: She is from New Sydney. She has a younger brother, Norvo and older brother, Janel. Show less «
