Darod was a member of the Alsaurian resistance movement movement against the Mokra Order who ruled his planet. In 2372, he agreed to help Starfleet Captain Kathryn Janeway obtain tellerium.
When the Mokra Order captured Tuvok and B'Elanna Torres, Darod agreed to help Janeway rescue them. Janeway had been hurt in the attack and was cared for by an man named Caylem. Darod believed Caylem to be a coward, because he had refused to join the resistance, even though his wife and daughter did. When Caylem's wife and daughter were killed, Darod refused to have anything to do with Caylem.
Darod was then imprisoned by Augris. During the rescue attempt, Caylem did help Janeway and Darod and, after witnessing Caylem save him and Janeway, Darod promised that he would spread the word of Caylem's heroism. (VOY: "Resistance")
Darod was played by actor Tom Todoroff. He filmed his scenes between Wednesday 27 September 1995 and Monday 2 October 1995 on Paramount Stage 1 and 16.
