Margan

Margan

Margan was the leader of the Ornaran people. When the Ornaran ship was destroyed delivering goods to Brekka, in exchange for a narcotic drug, Margan contacted the Enterprise and begged Picard to help them repair their remaining ships. Margan and his people believed that the drug was an antidote for a plague. In reality the plague was no longer fatal and the Brekkians had addicted them to the drug in order to obtain goods from the Ornarans. Picard refused Margan's request but did not tell him of the ruse, because of the Prime Directive. However with the repairs to their ships, Margan and his people would not receive the drug, and evidentually beat the addiction. (TNG: "Symbiosis")

Margan was played by actor Kenneth Tigar.
