Gul Madred, and his offspring Jil Orra. Gul Madred is hardly the first military officer to bring his child to see his “work”, but his offspring is one of the most noticeable.
Whilst grey and blue are most common, followed by red, Jil’s colour is the most rare among Cardassians. That she is so unusual gives away a time long ago when Cardassian society was not so homogenous, when pockets of civilisation had been isolated from each other. Even now, the branched filaments of her mane (far different in texture to the unbranched filaments of Cardassians such as Garak or Dukat) are most commonly associated with the green colouration, even though branched and semi-branched filaments can occur in any Cardassian (Seska is one such example). Jil inherited her colour from both of her parents, and the slight green tint to Madred’s scales can be seen in the correct light.
An unusual trait Madred and Jil both share are unbranched filaments on the body (noticeably the chin, but also appearing on the arms, legs and spine). Around only a quarter of Cardassians have this, but it appears on any colouration in equal measure. Jil’s other parent does not have unbranched filaments on their body. As well as inheriting Madred’s unbranched filaments, she also inherited his eye colour - again, the rarest on Cardassia, making Jil a very unusual sight.
Here’s a portrait of them I did two years ago which has some more info about the above.
