Kosst Amojan was a non-corporeal entity, a Pah-wraith. In 2374, Kosst Amojan inhabited the body of Jake Sisko in order to bring forth the Reckoning. The entity was driven out after Kai Winn Adami flooded the station with chroniton radiation. (DS9: "The Reckoning")

Background
Ambiguity exists as to whether Kosst Amojan is an individual or another name for the Pah-wraiths. Kai Winn refers to him from an ancient prophecy as an individual in "The Reckoning", however in "Shadows and Symbols" the Sarah Prophet refers to the Pah-wraiths which were defeated in that episode as the Kosst Amojan. Furthermore, in the final episodes of the series, Kai Winn herself refers to the Pah-wraiths in the Fire Caves as the Kosst Amojan and it seems to imply that Kosst Amojan is in fact the entity that possesses Dukat during his duel with Ben Sisko. It is possible that the individual Kosst Amojan (whose whereabouts remain unknown) entered the wormhole with the Pah-wraith at the end of "Tears of the Prophets" and subsequently both were destroyed, or the prophecies as Winn knew them in "The Reckoning" were wrong and the Kosst Amojan is in fact the Prophets' name for the Pah-wraiths. Another possibility might be that it is a group of Pah-wraiths.
According to Rene Echevarria in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, the Kosst Amojan is referred to as a group or object with the definite article "the", as in "the Kosst Amojan".
