Luther Sloan is a 24th century Human operative of Section 31, the clandestine Starfleet intelligence agency, from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Convinced that the ends justify the means in defending the Federation, he operated under cover identities such as a Deputy Director of Internal Affairs and 'Wendell Greer'.
Sloan repeatedly targeted Doctor Julian Bashir, attempting to recruit him and later manipulating him in Section 31's schemes, including the morphogenic virus deployed against the Founders. He ultimately took his own life via a lethal implant to protect Section 31's secrets, and was portrayed by William Sadler.
