Conpap or Kathpa was a 24th century male pilot who made a living as a trader of goods.
He had yellow and rotting teeth, he wore dirty rags covered by layers of stink and dirt. His presence was obvious thanks to his odor.
Biography
He participated in a botched smuggling operation with a Ferengi associate, where he lost his vessel. He ended up to Deep Space 9 in the year 2370 order to get another job, and therefore buy a new ship.
During a meeting between the Klingon Empire and the United Federation of Planets, he was residing on the space station Deep Space 9. He was tasked by dRacLa to assassinate Gowron, promised a rich reward. In the upper Promenade he met a Klingon contact — who recognised him as "Kathpa" from his stench — who paid him in advance, warning him that should he fail his job, he would be dead. They didn't know that Odo spied their meeting, having transformed as a blot on the column.
The second day of the meeting, he entered Quark's and sat on the same table where Gowron and Edward Jellico were sitting with their companions the previous night, knowing that they were to renew their meeting. Quark briefly complained about his customer needing a bathing, but ran away to fetch his Romulan ale after Conpap growled at him. Well aware that some of the patrons could be security officers (William T. Riker and Jadzia Dax had a relaxing dinner), he pretended to drink, while installing a small bomb under the table.
He just started for the exit when he saw it blocked by Odo and four security officers. He froze and nervously looked for another exit; he darted to the left, but that time he bumped into a Klingon customer who was just standing up from the center table; the warrior, instinctivelly pushed him back, and accidentally Conpap triggered the bomb; he was killed, injuring Riker and Dax and some of the Klingons, destroying the back half of Quark's. dRacLa then reported the failure to Lursa and B'Etor.
