Ezri Dax (played by Nicole de Boer) is a counselor aboard Deep Space Nine in the seventh season of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
The role of Ezri Dax was created when Terry Farrell (who played Jadzia Dax) decided to leave the show and her character was killed by Dukat.
When Nicole de Boer read for the role in 1998, she was considered "one of the busiest actresses in Canada but a relative unknown south of the border". She used her own camera to tape her audition. DeBoer admits that prior to being called to the show she did not know what a Trill was. But she made sure to study, and watched previous shows, though careful not "to watch a whole bunch of Jadzia stuff."
The fictional character of Ezri Dax was introduced in the first episode of season seven. The back story states that Ensign Ezri Tigan, a Trill Starfleet officer, upon leaving Starfleet Academy was assigned to the USS Destiny as assistant ship's counselor. She had no interest in becoming joined with a Trill symbiont.
