Goss is a Ferengi DaiMon who commands a small delegation and aggressively pursues commercial and political advantage. He converts diplomacy into commerce through theatrical displays of wealth, endorses covert tactics—up to non‑lethal biochemical sabotage—and is willing to provoke or accept kinetic risk to secure leverage. He sparrs with Federation officers (Picard, Riker), flirts and bargains in social settings, and responds readily to manipulators like Devinoni Ral. Across the episode he functions as a volatile, profit‑driven broker whose presence repeatedly escalates the wormhole negotiations.
