* TheUnintelligible: As per their depiction in ''Deep Space 9'', the Breen still speak in a series of metallic, electronic sounds, though the text subtitles still shows what they're saying; most of the time it's typical EvilGloating.

!The Breen

[[folder: General]]

A race of humanoids who wear environmental suits and wield cryogenic weapons.
----

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: They have a warrior code like the Klingons but prefer to take prisoners as slave labor. Large-scale massacres are offensive to them, though.
* EvilIsDeathlyCold: They use ice as a weapon against other races.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: The Breen are bad guys, as a general rule, but even they are disgusted by Thot Trel's actions.
* GasMaskMooks: The Breen invoke this, even if it's more like humans in refrigerators.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: They wear environmental suits that make them look scary.
* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: We see one of their slave mines as a way to emphasize what enormous jerks they are.
* SocialDarwinism: Their code of honor is based on survival of the fittest. Needless cruelty is offensive to most Breen [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans but they'll do anything if it serves a purpose.]]

* EvilOverlord: Acts like this as he commits numerous war crimes, gloats, takes slaves, and generally acts like a monster.
* KickTheDog: He does this numerous times to the Deferi. So much so his own men are disgusted with them.
* LargeHam: In the tradition of Hakeev and several other characters.
* LastWords: Signify what kind of ego the man has.
--> "But I'm Thot Trel..."
* VillainousBreakdown: Has one after the discovery of the Preserver Archives' true contents. [[spoiler: People. His career is effectively over as he's conducted a war for something his superiors will deem worthless.]]

A race who believe in balance with the forces of nature and advancement.
----
* MartialPacifist: They only fight for survival. Their only enemies are the Breen (who kidnap them as slaves and steal their crap) and the Borg (who are everyone's enemy).
* MoralityPet: To J'mpok's Klingon Empire, who view them as very honorable for saving a Klingon Fleet decades ago. The Klingons don't even want to conquer them.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Ambassador Surah]]
The lead ambassador for the Deferi to offworld cultures.

* BigGood: For the Breen Arc.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He's involved in a minor and optional diplomatic mission on Starbase 39. He's very important later in the game.
* NotSoOmniscientCouncilOfBickering: Surah has a massive case of [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere packing up his bags and going home]] whenever things aren't "in balance". He does this in a side mission at Starbase 39 and does it again during "Second Wave".
