But Quark way more funny and frankly under his veneer of greed, and cheating his own brother, and always trying to get one over on people, was actually pretty kindhearted. I used to hate him as a one dimensional greedy asshole, but upon re-watching the series, he is way more layered and likable. In fact, he has done a lot of nice things for Kira and she won't give him any slack.

Whereas Garak, well, he used to torture people. Not nearly as likable. Can be super funny and witty. But not as funny as Quark.

I though the Roswell Episode was the funniest Star Trek Episode I have ever seen.

Quark is the creepy jerk with the heart of gold.
Garak is the creepy double agent with the heart of . . . well who knows exactly?

I like hearts of gold.
