Bareil Antos was a prominent Bajoran vedek and spiritual leader in the years immediately following the Cardassian Occupation of Bajor. Gentle, unorthodox, and widely admired, he was the leading candidate to succeed Kai Opaka.
Bareil grew up in the Relliketh refugee camp and rose from monastery gardener to vedek. He withdrew his candidacy for kai, quietly taking the blame for the Kendra Valley Massacre to protect Opaka's memory, which cleared the way for his rival Winn Adami. During this period he became the romantic partner of Major Kira Nerys.
After Winn's election, Bareil served as her key adviser in negotiating the first Bajoran-Cardassian Treaty. Mortally injured in a plasma explosion during the talks, he insisted on remaining conscious to see the peace through and died in 2371 shortly after the treaty was signed. He appeared in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, portrayed by Philip Anglim.
