Leader of the tribal council of Native American colonists on Dorvan V. Anthwara's grandfather, Katowa, had led his people from Earth in the 22nd century in search of a new home among the stars, and after they wandered for two centuries, Anthwara brought the group to Dorvan V, a planet where he believed the mountains, rivers and sky welcomed them. They had been there for 20 years when in 2370, the Federation ceded the planet to the Cardassian Union in their controversial treaty. Anthwara refused to let his people be uprooted from what he knew to be sacred land, and ultimately convinced both sides of the treaty to let them stay on the planet under Cardassian jurisdiction.
