Quark as Audrid Dax during Jadzia's zhian'tara.
Audrid Dax (played by Armin Shimerman during Jadzia Dax's zhian'tara ) was the fourth host of the Dax symbiont. She rose to become the head of the Trill Symbiosis Commission, and she was also a mother of at least two children, Neema and Gran. Audrid noted that her election and the birth of her first child were the happiest days of her life. (DS9: "Facets", "Prodigal Daughter")
Neema once spent two weeks in the hospital, ill with Rugalan fever. Audrid spent the entire time by her six-year-old daughter's side, and read all seventeen volumes of Down the River Light to her, even though she was unconscious. Fifteen years later, the two were not on speaking terms and would not see each other for another eight years. (DS9: "...Nor the Battle to the Strong")
- In the Deep Space Nine revival novels, particularly The Lives of Dax short story Sins of the Mother, it was revealed that Audrid's husband was named Jayvin Vod. His death resulted in the rift between Audrid and her daughter Neema.
Audrid died in 2284. (DS9: "Facets")
During Jadzia Dax's zhian'tara in 2371, Quark embodied Audrid's memories and personality. Jadzia neglected to inform him that he would be embodying a female host.
