The Splendid & Myriad Abilities of Elim Garak

1. Tailoring
2. Tax Evasion
3. Espionage
- Deceit, Sharpshooting, Hacking, Slinking/Mincing around, (alleged) Assassinating
4. Gardening
5. Campy dialogue, should the need arise
6. Justifying the means
7. Bottling up his emotions
8. Survival (A general Cardassian trait)
9. Arson/Insurance Fraud
10. Humouring the poor girl

Kind of useless in a fist fight, however.

The mincy and the campy dialogue were sorely needed in DS9, but he really is shit hand-to-hand compared to every other type of skill he has.
