Tora Ziyal is one of Dukat's endless amount of children. Dukat had many mistresses, including lots of Bajorans. Since Nerys's biological mother was one of his mistresses, she felt a bond to Ziyal, and raised her. She is a renowned artist. Unfortunately, Dukat did not approve of Ziyal's loyalty to Bajor and only to Bajor. Before he told her he forgives her, Damar killed her without question. For the moment, Dukat decides to declare loyalty to Bajor in her honor and absense. He temporarily surrendered to The Federation and The Bajorans, but The Federation took him, knowing that The Bajorans would kill him. Cooperative, but still a broken man, he went insane because of his loss. It was Ziyal's death that compelled him to masquerade as a Bajoran and surrender his life to The Pah-Wraith Demons.
