Quark, son of Keldar and Ishka, is a Ferengi businessman, first a barkeep and then head of Quark Enterprises. He is a brother to Rom, the Grand Nagus of the Ferengi Trade Alliance, and uncle to Captain Nog of Starfleet. He can be found at his bar, Quark's, on Deep Space 9.

History

 * Date Unknown: Quark opens Quark's Bar, Grill, Gaming House and Holosuite Arcade on the Promenade of Terok Nor, a Cardassian space station in orbit of Bajor.
 * 2369: Quark retains his business when the station is transferred to Bajoran and Starfleet control, and renamed Deep Space 9.
 * 2384: The Ferengi Trade Alliance plans to open an expansive embassy and gift shop near Quark's on Deep Space 9.
 * Date Unknown: Quark is contacted by a representative of Hassan the Undying, who is interested in a played-out pergium mine Quark has recently acquired from his cousin Gaila. A vein of Decalithium had been discovered beneath the mine, and Hassan's representative, Raka, arranges to purchase the ore. Quark accompanies Raka on the first delivery run, during which Raka is exposed to catalyzed decalithium and reverts to his true Undine form. Quark is attacked by the Undine, but is rescued by Starfleet security. He is treated for radiation poisoning by Doctor Julian Bashir aboard Deep Space 9.
 * 2393: Quark's Bar, Grill, Gaming House, Holosuite Arcade, Gift Shop and Embassy is exempted from the economic adjustements which occur as a result of Bajor's formal admission to the Federation. This leads to a significant increase in profits, and Quark is said to be in the market for a moon.
