History - In keeping with normal Vorta practice, Semil is one of a series of clones based on an earlier progenitor. At least two incarnations have interacted with Allied forces since initial contact with the Dominion. The present version claims to be the fourth in this series, although this remains unconfirmed.

 

The first of the series, an import from the Gamma Quadrant, was responsible for early intelligence gathering along the Cardassian De-Militarized Zone (DMZ) prior to the outbreak of hostilities. With the rise of the Dukat regime and the Dominion annexation of Cardassia, Semil delivered the edict for Federation withdrawal along the DMZ, and commanded the military actions which exterminated Maquis forces all along that region. After the onset of war, he became overseer of these territories, operating from the captured colony on Canar II.

 

Semil is known to have personally conducted interrogation of Allied prisoners, using the Vorta technique of elaborate mental illusions to extract information. His strategies were responsible for successful defense of the Calandra Sector and the destruction of the Romulan task force led by the warbird Sionex, but also resulted in Dominion defeats at both Canar and Moriya. Semil led a first contact mission which competed with Starfleet operatives for the allegiance of the Ovetra civilization. At this time, he is believed to have been exposed to a toxin which later impaired his judgment and reason. This Semil was killed in action by Starfleet personnel on the Ovetra homeworld in 2374.

 

The next version was sighted during a failed Dominion attempt to seize the starship Sovereign along with the onboard Secretary of Defense. Although he maintained a low profile for the remainder of the war, it is believed Semil was personally responsible for establishing an alliance with the Orion Syndicate. He also claims to have initiated dialogue with the Breen Confederacy, which led to their entry into the war as Dominion allies. Rumors that this clone was killed in the final battle over Cardassia remain unconfirmed.

 

The next incarnation was proferred as the Dominion representative to Allied forces operating in the Gamma Quadrant. In this capacity, Semil provided important details regarding the political status of the Dominion and the origins of the rebellious Hundred faction, while also negotiating the establishment of a Federation starbase in the Avalon system. He met his most recent demise at the hands of Governor K'Vorlag, who stopped him from aiding the escape of a fellow Vorta who was under interrogation.

 

The latest clone of Semil was awakened in the Gamma Quadrant after a lapse of more than one year. Unlike his predecessors, this version was initiated by the Hundred from genetic material and memory records stolen from the Dominion. According to one member of the Hundred, Semil has the unedited memories of all prior incarnations, as well as an expanded capacity for free will. While Semil now serves the Hundred, he does not appear to have fully renounced his loyalties to the Founders or the Great Link.

 

Psychological Profile – Earlier clones of Semil repeatedly demonstrated an absolute dedication to the Founders. Seemingly amoral, he proved an able overseer, a far-thinking strategic planner, and skilled negotiator. Due to war-time experience, Semil retains a familiarity with the Alpha Quadrant and the psychology of its major powers. Although he once described the Hundred as an affront to the rule of his true gods, his current incarnation appears willing to follow their lead. Whether this allegiance is absolute remains to be demonstrated.

 

Miscellaneous - Semil has a personal history with Admiral Day, whom he met during action against the starship Excalibur. He is known to have interrogated Governor K'Vorlag, captured after the Battle of Torros II, and Captain Sorehl, imprisoned during a failed diplomatic mission to Cardassia. A contingent of Jem'Hadar under his command boarded and nearly captured the starship Yorktown, under command of Thomas Halloway, in the closing days of the war.
