Makbar was a Cardassian female who served as a Chief Archon on Cardassia Prime during the late-24th century.
History
In 2370, she presided over Miles O'Brien's trial for smuggling weapons to the Maquis. In fact, Makbar was part of an elaborate scheme to attempt to discredit the Federation's policies and to establish grounds to invade the DMZ to eliminate the Maquis. They attempted to portray the Maquis as "savage, Federation-born killers" who were operating with secret but official sanction from Starfleet Command. The plot failed when Commander Sisko discovered that it was a Cardassian agent disguised as Raymond Boone who used O'Brien's recorded voice to steal the weapons from Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Tribunal")

Appendices
Background information
Makbar was played by actress Caroline Lagerfelt.
The character was used to personify the cold, even grinding, philosophy of the Cardassian judicial system. In her hairstyle, hair department head Josée Normand incorporated some of the unique design details from the Cardassian courtroom. "It was one of those times that I went over to the set for inspiration," he said. (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion, pp. 149 & 150)
Two of the costumes worn by Lagerfelt as Makbar were later sold off in the It's A Wrap! sale and auction. The first, a royal blue, velvet long sleeved, full-length jumpsuit, was sold for $153.50 [1] while the second, a long-sleeved, full-length blue and black patterned jumpsuit, was sold for $410.65. [2]
The final script for "Tribunal" gives the pronunciation of Makbar's name as "MOCK-bahr" and goes on to describe her as simply "a Cardassian woman". [3]
Apocrypha
In the Star Trek: Typhon Pact novel Raise the Dawn, set after the Dominion War, Makbar presides over the trial of Denison Morad, who has destroyed a Federation industrial replicator in Lakat. Makbar, a member of the True Way, is lenient towards Morad and sentences him to just one hundred days in the Hutet labor camp, with the intention of recruiting him into the group when he is released.
Makbar is also featured in the Star Trek Customizable Card Game.
