The Douwd were a powerful, immortal race of energy beings. They possessed near omnipotent powers, including the power to wipe out an entire species from existence. Some Douwd impersonated members of other species. (TNG episode: "The Survivors")
Unlike 0, the Douwd was considered one of the advanced intelligences that recognized reality. (TNG - The Q Continuum novel: Q-Strike)
In the far distant past, the Guardian of Forever displayed an image of the Douwd to a young Q. (TNG - The Q Continuum novel: Q-Space)
In the year 2366, the Douwd known as Kevin Uxbridge was encountered by the crew of the Starfleet starship USS Enterprise-D on Delta Rana IV, three days after the destruction of the local Federation colony by the Husnock. Uxbridge was left in self-imposed isolation on the planet after wiping out the entire Husnock civilization in retaliation. (TNG episode: "The Survivors")
In 2378, Kevin was present in the Pleroma as a representative for the Douwd to discuss the damage that the Orb of Destruction had wrought to the universe. When a vote was held on whether or not to resurrect the Organians, Kevin voted against such an act. When Lore later turned the Orb on the Pleroma, Kevin was disintegrated by the Orb's power. (ST - Pleroma comics: "Part 3", "Part 4", "Part 5")
