Gul Danar was a Cardassian officer, commander of the warship Aldara.

In 2369, Danar was assigned to apprehend the Bajoran Kohn-Ma terrorist Tahna Los, who he pursued to Deep Space 9. Danar demanded that Commander Sisko hand over Tahna to him, though Sisko decided to grant Tahna asylum.

Sisko later requested Danar's help in apprehending the USS Yangtzee Kiang, which Tahna had hijacked and equipped with a bilitrium-based explosive device. Tahna hoped to destroy the Bajoran wormhole with it. 

Background
Danar was played by Star Trek veteran Vaughn Armstrong. It was his second appearance in Star Trek. Vaughn Armstrong went on to play another Cardassian, Seskal, in the seventh season episodes and.

Sisko must have encountered or heard of Danar before as he knew his name, even though Danar did not introduce himself.

The character also appears in the DS9 novel The Big Game, set in 2370 when he returned to DS9.

Danar is briefly mentioned in the DS9 novel Fearful Symmetry when an agent of the Obsidian Order notes that Danar possesses a morphology similar to a range of individuals from many different species, making him potentially valuable as an undercover operative. This is presumably an in-joke referring to the many different characters played by Vaughn Armstrong.

Danar had a card in the Star Trek CCG Second Edition pack which referred to him as an "irascible gul".
