Fun Fact!
Mick Fleetwood played one of the Antedean ambassadors.

And at least you could tell that it was Iggy Pop, even with all the Vorta makeup. 
Oh, definitely. Next to Weyoun he was the best Vorta we ever saw.
I was fond of Kilana or Eris myself.

Keevan. The DS9 crew captured him at the end of "Rocks and Shoals" and held him until the aborted prisoner transfer in the Ferengi episode.
Keevan was a bastard. Really hated that slimy douche.
Lets his entire Jem'Hadar unit get wiped out just to save himself. Some commander. The Weyoun clones could be nasty, but he wasn't that personally petty and treacherous to his own troops.
Yep. But I'd like to possess Eris' telekinesis.
I wonder why Eris was the only Vorta who could do that. Surely that'd be a valuable trait for any of them?
If I could choose any power, it would be telepathy, mainly to call peoples BS.
It was probably a costly effect.

That's really naughty. Imagine what your grandma would say.
Well, they both passed, but though my mother's mother would be seeking an exorcist being very religious, my father's mother would Uncle Ben me into being a hero or something.
DS9, like all Trek shows, had plenty of those. And they managed.
Even so, it's not like there were Vorta in every episode. Although when there were, they were usually surrounded by a squad of Jem'Hadar, so I guess that's the reason they're not all telekinetic.

Why use telekinetic powers to protect yourself when you have loyal soldiers who will blast your opponents to vapor with a single order? I imagine that some Vorta used those powers in situations where their lives were endangered and they didn't have Jem'Hadar troops protecting them, but many may not have developed those abilities so they couldn't.
It would explain why Keevan never attempted to break away from Starfleet captivity after he was taken prisoner and only tried to run on foot and steal a Ferengi shuttle when he was used as a bargaining chip to trade for Quark's mother Ishka.
