Native of a primitive Delta Quadrant planet, Kalis was a struggling playright. In 2376 he met B'Elanna Torres after she crashlanded on the planet in the Delta Flyer. Torres agreed to tell him osme of Voyager's adventures in return for his help in acquiring supplies to repair the Flyer's communications system so that she could call for help. Kelis wrote a series of plays based on these adventures which were wildly successful with the leader of his people. When war was threatened with a neighbouring people, Kelis managed to incorporate some of the Federation's peaceful ethos into his plays inan attempt to sway his leader to a less warlike stance. [1]
