Joran Dax was a joined Trill, the sixth host of the Dax symbiont.
Born Joran Belar on stardate 1024.7, he was a renowned musician, specializing in the piano. He graduated from one of the top music academies on Trill, along with his brother Yolad. According to Symbiosis Commission records, he was a candidate for joining, but he was dropped from the program in his second year. Joran was killed in 2285 (on stardate 8615.2) following an incident in which he murdered the doctor who made the recommendation to remove him from consideration.
However, it was discovered in 2371 that Joran had in fact been joined six months prior to that date, following Torias Dax's shuttle accident. The joining was unsuitable, and Joran became increasingly violent and unstable. However, the expected rejection of the symbiont did not take place. Dax was removed from Joran, and implanted into Curzon, with a memory block protecting the host from the memories of Joran's joining, and all records of him purged from Trill databases – Torias was said to have remained in a coma for the six months of Joran Dax's existence, the symbiont being removed when his isoboromine levels dropped to a dangerous point.
The memory block began to erode in early 2371, causing severe trauma to the Dax host of that time, Jadzia. The block was removed, allowing Jadzia to reconcile the memories within herself. However, the information was kept secret from the general populace because it would reveal that the ability to be joined was far more widespread than the Commission publicized, resulting in potential hosts struggling to acquire the 'prized' symbionts such as Dax.

Benjamin Sisko as Joran Dax during Jadzia's zhian'tara
During Jadzia's zhian'tara in 2371, Benjamin Sisko agreed to embody Joran's memories and personality. Aware of the dangers, the ritual took place with Sisko in a holding cell. Even so, Joran proved extremely dangerous, and attempted to attack Jadzia, taunting her about her feelings of inadequacy in holding the Dax symbiont. Unable to penetrate the holding cell force field, Joran kept in contact with it, hurting Sisko. (DS9: "Facets")
In 2375, Ezri Dax performed the Rite of Emergence, which brought forth Joran's memories and personality for her to interact with, on the principle of 'use a killer to catch a killer'. Joran provided Ezri with valuable assistance in tracking down Lieutenant Chu'lak, who had committed three murders on Deep Space 9, but his constant attempts to encourage Ezri to kill the murderer in question (in addition to some innocent people who almost fit the profile) did little to endear him to his distant successor. Once the case was solved, Ezri sent Joran back into her mind, but was apparently more at peace with that part of herse
