Ok, here they are 
. I would note he isn't a major character, but his appearance in the novel answers the questions we had.
. I would note he isn't a major character, but his appearance in the novel answers the questions we had.He was left in the care of the Federation Displaced Persons Agency. They tried to locate his original home, but couldn't, assuming it was somewhere deep in Romulan space. He was relocated to a youth community home on Earth, as he grew older became a mentor of sorts to younger children, and as an adult worked for the Displaced Persons Agency himself. He still has not found his people. In "Losing the Peace" he is a director for the DPA and it is he who approaches Dr. Crusher to lead a fact-finding mission to a refugee camp, kicking off one of the major plotlines in the novel.

Sorry, Mr. Leisner!!
I'll make it up to you by telling Freman, truthfully, that it is a novel well worth buying.
I always figured that Barash formed a band along with Jeremy Aster and Alexander the Platonian.
I believe their big hits were "Take Me with You" and "Nobody Has the Power"...
IIRC, Mirasta Yale did guest vocals on the former.

No worries, I'll be picking the book up eventually. It's on the list.
And thanks for the spoilers, DN.
Now that you mention this, I realize we've gotten updates on most of those characters in the last few years.
Alexander: Ambassador to S'ti'ach
Jeremy Aster: Lives on Earth, when last seen in 2375 was working on his doctorate in Archaeology.
Barash:
Works for the Displaced Persons Agency
He's only been an Ambassador since 2378 as far as I know. He was the Federation Ambassador to the Klingon Empire and now to the S'ti'ach, but who else?
Wrong Alexander. You're thinking of Alexander Rozhenko, son of Worf. We're talking about Alexander of Platonius, Michael Dunn's character from "Plato's Stepchildren." Remember, the unifying thread of the mentioned characters is that they're people like Barash who were taken aboard a starship at the end of an episode and then never heard from again.
From Orion's Hounds, p. 76:
I totally missed that when I read the book
You're not the only one, Rosalind.
What the frak?! I missed that as well. I'm surprised, Alexander was always one of my favorite 'guests of the week' and had long wondered what had become of him.
Yep, same here. Completely missed that part. 
Well, it was only one paragraph out of the whole novel...
