Aamin Marritza was a Cardassian file clerk who served at the Gallitep labor camp on Bajor during the Occupation. Consumed by guilt over atrocities he witnessed but did not prevent, he underwent surgery to impersonate the camp's commander, Gul Darhe'el, and traveled to Deep Space 9 in 2369 hoping to be tried and executed as a war criminal — a form of penance meant to force Cardassia to confront its crimes.
His deception was unraveled by Odo and gently exposed by Kira Nerys, who refused to be complicit in executing an innocent man. Released, Marritza was murdered on the Promenade simply for being Cardassian. Introduced in the acclaimed Deep Space Nine episode "Duet" and played by Harris Yulin, he remains one of the series' most memorable guest characters. See the Timeline for chronology.
