Liquidator Brunt is a fictional character in the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, played by actor Jeffrey Combs. He is a Ferengi who works with the Ferengi Commerce Authority and over the course of the series he makes several appearances (list below). His job is to enforce the decisions of the FCA, which one more than one occasion involve shutting down or threating to shut down Quark's bar, deriving great pleasure from wielding power in the process. Quark and Brunt become natural enemies, forming a rather personal rivalry.
In the mirror universe, Brunt is a kind character.
They were briefly broken up by Quark at the prodding of Liquidator Brunt who was plotting to depose Zek and replace him as Nagus.
He was once again deposed, this time successfully by Brunt, after he amended the Ferengi constitution to allow females to wear clothes in public, but was later reinstated after the populace learned of the new and exciting business opportunities such reforms would pave.
Brunt contends she had taken two or three steps down an aisle when she slipped in mop water which was placed on the floor by an agent of Food 4 Less.
Brunt's sole argument is that the presence of the substance on the premises was the result of Food 4 Less's negligence.
Brunt makes no contention that the substance had been on the floor for such a length of time that the defendant knew or reasonably should have known of its presence and failed to use ordinary care to remove it.
