Liph was a male Ferengi and a member of the Economic Congress of the Ferengi Alliance until 2376. Ishka discovered that Liph had been diverting public money intended for disaster relief and used it to make a poor investment in quadrotriticale on Sherman's Planet. Grand Nagus Rom later dismissed Liph from the Economic Congress. (DS9 - Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novella: Ferenginar: Satisfaction is Not Guaranteed)
