Krax

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

Krax was the son of Grand Nagus Zek and the unofficial heir-apparent to the throne of the Ferengi Alliance. Krax was shocked when Zek unexpectedly nominated Quark to be his successor in 2369, and immediately retired. When Zek died shortly thereafter, Krax plotted with Quark's brother Rom to assassinate the new Nagus.

Fortunately for Quark, Zek reappeared a short time later, revealing that the entire incident had been a ruse to test Krax's eligibility for becoming the new Nagus. Krax failed the test miserably; as Zek said, "You don't seize power... you accumulate it, quietly." (DS9: "The Nagus")

Krax was played by actor Lou Wagner. Although the character was never seen in the series again, Krax appeared in the DS9 novels The Big Game and Ferenginar: Satisfaction is not Guaranteed.
