Raymond Boone (Cardassian)

'Raymond Boone' a surgically altered Cardassian

Raymond Boone was a Starfleet officer who served aboard the USS Rutledge in the 2350s, along with Miles O'Brien. He participated in a battle on Setlik III where he was captured and killed.

A surgically altered Cardassian assumed his identity. 'Boone' settled with his family on Volon III and operated a ladarium mining sluice. Boone's wife felt something was different about him, but believed it was due to the torture the Cardassians subjected him to.

In 2370, the Cardassian travelled to Deep Space Nine where he met O'Brien and recorded his voice. He used O'Brien's recorded voice to break into a weapons locker and thus framed O'Brien for the crime. Commander Sisko eventually captured 'Boone' and brought him to O'Brien's trial on Cardassia Prime. As soon as the Chief Archon, Makbar, saw Boone she ended the trial and O'Brien was turned over to Sisko. 'Boone' had been only a facet of a large operation that was designed to discredit the Federation and to make it appear that they were sanctioning the Maquis. (DS9: "Tribunal")

Raymond Boone was played by John Beck.
