Vic Fontaine is a hologram on Deep Space 9 in simulated Las Vegas, circa 1962. The singer and entertainer is the proprietor of Vic's Las Vegas Lounge, which is visited often by the Deep Space 9 crew. He was created by Julian Bashir's friend Felix and modeled after Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, and had a repertoire of swing-era songs that he performed with his band, such as Come Fly With Me, All the Way and You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You. The Fontaine hologram was programmed to be highly perceptive of the intricacies of interpersonal relationships, and in that capacity proved to be a valuable mentor to many residents of DS9, even serving as match maker.Felix programmed Fontaine as self-aware with the ability to turn himself on and off at will.In 2375, a problem arose for Fontaine in the form of a mobster character named Frankie Eyes, who bought out the hotel Fontaine performed in and threatened to blackball him out of Vegas. Frankie Eyes was a jack-in-the-box that Felix included in the holosuite program to shake things up and keep it interesting. Since resetting the program would wipe out all of Vic's memories on DS9, users were forced to play along.Late that same year, after the end of the Dominion war, Vic hosted a victory party in his bar that also served as a farewell for several crew members.
