Esoqq

distrustful proud volatile aggressive primal
Esoqq serves as a proud Chalnoth warrior abducted into an alien experiment with Captain Picard, Mitena Haro, and Kova Tholl. He materializes with drawn dagger, threatening captives until Picard references Chalna to secure wary compliance. Esoqq insults Tholl's Mizarian culture, boasts of slain enemies, rejects rations as poison, issues a three-day starvation deadline with cannibalistic threats, accuses Tholl of collaboration, demands Picard's identity proof, surrenders his knife reluctantly for escape, and reels from Haro's alien reveal. His aggression strains group unity and tests Picard's command.
