Dr. Mora Pol

Species :

The Bajoran scientist in chanrge of Odo when he was first discovered, Pol was something of a father figure to Odo. The two struggled to get along; Odo believed that Pol had used unethical methods in attempting to teach him to imitate Humanoid forms and customs and had treated him more as an experiment than a person. Pol in turn believed that Odo had made a mistake in leaving the laboratory. Tensions surfaced when pol visited Deep Space Nine in 2370; whilst there he realised the Odo was behind a series of attacks on station equipment and personnel as a result of a gas he had encountered on a planet in the Gamma Quadrant.1 Pol visited again when Odo discovered a baby changeling in 2373. Odo's lack of success in raising the infant finally convinced him that Pol's own methods had some validity after all, and the two had something of a reconciliation.2
