Early Life History: Family Business
Quark Quark wa s born in 23 26 to K eldar and Ishka. Acco rding to
Ishka, Keldar wasn't a very successful businessman, but he knew
"everything" about family. His son, Rom, confirmed his lack of
financial acumen, noting that he went from one bad deal to the
next. However, Keldar was still a very traditional Ferengi, and
refused to take business advice from his wife, despite the fact
that she was actually far more adept at financial matters than he
was. He once said to Quark, "I don't know what I'm going to do
about that fem ale...", referring to Ishka's headstro ng tendenc ies.
