Culluh Jal Culluh was the First Maje of the Kazon - Nistrim sect in the years 2371 to 2373 . He attempted to obtain advanced technology from the during its voyage through Kazon space during this time . A priceless opportunity . A respected figure , Culluh ' s grandfather was First Maje of the Nistrim . However , the sect ' s power of those days was gone due to Culluh ' s poor leadership , which had seen the Nistrim ' s strength and numbers squander away . ( ) Nevertheless , he remained ambitious and seized upon the opportunity to gain Starfleet technology when the USS " Voyager " was stranded in the Delta Quadrant . He was first encountered by " Voyager " in 2371 , when Captain Kathryn Janeway allowed him aboard her ship to visit an ailing Kazon whom " Voyager " had previously rescued . The Kazon in question was in fact part of a failed Nistrim attempt to copy " Voyager " ' s replicator technology and later killed by Culluh . The information and material necessary for this experiment had come from Seska , a Cardassian operative posing as a Bajoran member of the " Voyager " crew who got very dissatisfied with Cpt . Janeway ' s leadership . Culluh embraced her covert assistance , but when her deception was discovered , she was forced to escape from " Voyager " aboard Culluh ' s ship . ( ) Culluh allowed Seska to stay aboard , despite Kazon men ' s chauvinistic attitude towards women , and took her as his consort . Culluh was stern with her in public , but privately allowed her to advise him to a degree of manipulation and plan tactics in an attempt to capture " Voyager " . He sought to use " Voyager " as the catalyst to bring all of the Kazon sects together , and personally become the most powerful Kazon in the quadrant . In 2372 , Culluh executed a daring raid on " Voyager " that was conceived by Seska and thereby successfully obtained a transporter module . Culluh and Seska used the newly gained transporter ability to coerce First Maje Haron of the powerful Kazon - Relora to a meeting . As Haron patronized the Nistrim and wanted to claim the technology for himself , Culluh and Seska killed him by beaming him and his bodyguard into space . Meanwhile , Cmdr . Chakotay of " Voyager " , who considered Seska ' s betrayal a personal responsibility , had intercepted Culluh ' s ship with a shuttlecraft but was unable to retrieve the transporter module and instead was taken prisoner . In order to initiate a subsequent meeting with First Majes Loran , Surat , and Valek or the Kazon - Hobii , Mostral , and Oglamar , respectively , Culluh now claimed to have obtained " Voyager " ' s command codes from Chakotay . This proved to be but a ruse , however , and as " Voyager " intercepted , all the First Majes were beamed aboard and held captive until Chakotay and the transporter module would be returned , thereby severely souring Culluh ' s reputation with the other Majes . ( ) Continuing his quest . Although Seska had earlier impregnated herself with DNA she had taken from Chakotay , she told Culluh it was his child - a circumstance she also exploited to protect herself against Culluh ' s growing impatience . When Cpt . Janeway proposed an alliance between " Voyager " and the Nistrim some months after their last encounter , he refused to have the terms dictated to him by a woman , and ended the discussions abruptly . He did , however , agree to attend a meeting on Sobras between representatives of " Voyager " , the leaders of other Kazon sects , and the Trabe , who had enslaved the Kazon in the past . Seska convinced him that this could be the first step to destroying the Trabe and eventually capturing " Voyager " , especially since the Nistrim just gained an informant among " Voyager " ' s crew . The meeting was ended prematurely , however , when the Trabe unsuccessfully attempted to kill the gathered Kazon Majes . ( ) Seska gave birth to her son in late 2372 and now exploited her previous claim that the child was Chakotay ' s by luring in " Voyager " under a guise of mistreatment by Culluh . The ploy worked , " Voyager " was captured , and the crew , save for The Doctor , Lon Suder and Tom Paris was stranded on Hanon IV , Culluh exulting in his triumph and challenging the crew to survive without the technology they had kept from him . Now , much to Seska ' s surprise , The Doctor discovered that her child is indeed Culluh ' s , and not Chakotay ' s son . The Doctor and Lon Suder also managed to restore control over the ship and Seska was killed during Paris ' divert attack on " Voyager " with the help of Talaxian ships . Out of options as Talaxians begin to board the ship , Culluh is overcome with grief and takes his son with him as he and his troops abandon " Voyager " for unknown whereabouts . ( )
