Brian Sofin was a crewmember aboard the USS Equinox under the command of Captain Rudolph Ransom in 2371. In that year, the Equinox was stranded in the Delta Quadrant by the alien entity known as the Caretaker. In 2377 he served as guard for Neelix when the Talaxian served soup to the Nygean and Benkaran prisoners in the cargo bay. (VOY: "Repentance") Sofin was played by background performer Mark Rogerson who received no credit for his appearances. He was the only surviving Equinox crew member to appear in any subsequent episode.
