Flagg things for an entire series. Whatever alias he uses that episode is the role the actor is listed as in the credits. One episode he uses the actor's actual name as an alias.

Not even necessarily always being the protagonist of the episode either, but you see them pop up at some point as "Ensign New Transfer" and you know poo poo's about to go down someway or other.

Episode starts with him talking about breaking out of a Cardassian interrogation center. Then end of the episode reveals that he drove all the cardassians to suicide by giving the most frustrating and contradictory answers. When confronted with this, he says "Nobody can get the truth out of me because even I don't know what it is. I keep myself in a constant state of utter confusion."

starfleet intelligence has always been comically inept. so any conflict would only make the fashy fash boys look better.
