Sneed

Sneed was a male Ferengi crime lord who operated on M'talas Prime in the early 25th century. He was responsible for creating and distributing the narcotic splinter. He collected Human antiques, including a baseball and a grenade, and was fond of the beverage Slug-o-Cola.
Born on Ferenginar in 2342, Sneed grew up as a scavenger in District Seven of M'talas Prime alongside the Vulcan Krinn. The two considered themselves brothers and had sworn a blood oath of loyalty to each other. (PIC: "Disengage", "Imposters")
In 2352, Sneed was arrested on Ferenginar for falsifying documents and fined five bars of gold-pressed latinum by the Ferengi Alliance. In 2364, the Cardassian Union arrested him on Cardassia for fraud, and sentenced him to two years of labor at a Bajoran colony. In 2370, he was caught smuggling in Federation space and imprisoned for four years. In 2384, he was again arrested by the Federation for committing arson on Deep Space 9, and imprisoned for three months.
Sneed's known associates included Jae Hwang of Earth, Larell of Renhia, Morn of Luria, Quark of Ferenginar, Brunt of Ferenginar, and Thadiun Okona of the Omega Sagitta system.
In 2401, Sneed was paid by rogue Changeling Titus Rikka to orchestrate the destruction of a Starfleet recruitment center, using a portal weapon the Changelings had stolen from Daystrom Station. He framed Romulan rebel Lurak T'Luco for the attack, which prompted Commander Raffi Musiker, via her ex-husband Jae, to arrange a meeting with Sneed at his lair in District Six. During the meeting, Musiker claimed to work for T'Luco, which Sneed knew to be false as he had already had T'Luco murdered to cover his tracks and was keeping his severed head with him as a trophy. Sneed coerced Musiker into taking splinter to try and expose her true employer. When this failed, he ordered his bodyguards to kill her, but she managed to escape with the timely appearance of Worf, who beheaded Sneed during the ensuing melee.

Sneed's death left a power vacuum in the District Six underworld, which Worf and Musiker exploited to draw out his "brother" Krinn, so as to learn how the Changelings' breach of Daystrom Station had been accomplished. His file was among the data collected by Commander Ro Laren pertaining to the Changeling infiltration of Starfleet, which she passed to Admiral Jean-Luc Picard shortly before her death.
