Namon was a photometric projection of a Vori male, serving as a soldier novice in the fourth contingent of the Vori Defense Contingent. After Commander Chakotay crash landed with shuttlecraft on a planet in the Delta Quadrant in 2374, he was brainwashed by the Vori to fight in their defense contingent. Namon was the soldier who "found" Chakotay in the jungle-forest, gagged him and brought him to his superior, Brone.
