Cowl was a Skrreean male and one of Haneek's mates. He was one of three million Skrreean refugees who arrived at Deep Space 9 in 2370.
The Skrreean society was matriarchal and males were treated as second class citizens. As such, Cowl had no position of authority in the Skreean society. (DS9: "Sanctuary")
Cowl was played by Nicholas Shaffer.
