Three con artists cause trouble for ''Voyager'' by posing as Captain Janeway, Commander Chakotay, and Lt. Cmdr. Tuvok.

* {{Foil}}: Janeway notes that she and Dala are "[[NotSoDifferentRemark very much alike]] -- intelligent, resourceful, ambitious...but with one ''tiny'' [[NotSoSimilar difference]].... I'm not a liar and a thief."

* IdiotBall: Tom Paris and Neelix managed to grab hold of a big one here, and they know it. Orek says he finds it difficult to believe that they'd be stupid enough to be deceived by a classic ScamReligion.
-->'''Orek:''' This is all very difficult for me to believe. Two of your crewmen deceived by ''clerics''? ''(scoffs)'' Could they really have been so naïve?
-->'''Tuvok:''' [[DeadpanSnarker A legitimate question.]]

* TokenGoodTeammate: Mobar definitely comes off as this. While the other scammers are only out for the profit and use impersonations as a means to that end, Mobar seems to genuinely be interested in the characters he is impersonating and desires to portray the characters he pretends to be as accurately as possible. The other two tend to be hostile to his more straight method acting approach.

Added DiffLines:

* WorthyOpponent: Janeway is genuinely impressed at the con artists' success in posing as her crew. Dala doesn't reciprocate.
-->'''Janeway:''' Posing as a Starfleet captain, selling memberships to the Federation. Too bad we didn't think of it, Tuvok. Imagine the resources we could have acquired over the past six years.\\
'''Tuvok:''' Indeed.\\
'''Janeway:''' I have to admit, I'm impressed.\\
'''Dala:''' I wish I could say the same.

* DoingItForTheArt: A possible InUniverse example. Mobar, unlike his companions Dala and Zar, is more interested in learning about his character and culture. It seems like he is working for Dala more for the ability to impersonate people than the direct monetary reward.

Added DiffLines:

* RealNameAsAnAlias: Apparently the case with "Sister" Dala, and, presumably, "Brother" Mobar. Neither of them is ever referred to by any other name, besides their "Captain Janeway" and "Lieutenant Tuvok" personas, and, in fact, Zar actually demands "Where's Dala?" when he discovers that the Doctor has been posing as her, so presumably it's her actual name.

** The security guard for the brig also seems have caught it at first by not re-raising the forcefield to Dala's cell after Neelix enters, allowing her to easily escape after overpowering the latter and taking his phaser. But it turns out to have been all part of the plan to let Dala escape.

* {{Foil}}: Janeway notes that she and Dala are "very much alike--intelligent, resourceful, ambitious...but with one ''tiny'' difference.... I'm not a liar and a thief."
** Tuvok and Mobar as well. Both are more serious and formal than some of their other teammates. They also both have to deal with teasing from their more un-serious colleagues. Kim and Paris keep messing with Tuvok's holodeck programs which is reminiscent to how Mobar is treated by Dala and Zar for him being more into his impersonation. This is possibly why Mobar takes such a liking to impersonating Tuvok.
