Bractor
opportunistic
impulsive/panic‑prone
aggressive/commanding
threatening
Bractor commands the Ferengi attack vessel Kreechta and operates as the immediate external threat to the Enterprise and the crippled Hathaway. He speaks through the viewscreen, issues a ten‑minute ultimatum, demands the "secret" of the other Federation ship, and frames negotiation in terms of surrender or destruction. Bractor moves from confident intimidation to visible fury when the Enterprise resists and torpedoes detonate; faced with a convincing ruse he panics and orders retreat. His presence forces Picard into a life‑and‑death strategic and moral choice and functions narratively as the aggressive, opportunistic antagonist whose demands catalyze the Hathaway gambit and the crew’s desperate improvisation.
