"Well, I'm—I'm conflicted about this. I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm a SCIS officer, duly sworn. I don't condone vigilantes or vigilantism. Once people start taking the law into their own hands, you're on the road to anarchy. But there's worse things out there than anarchy, and sometimes, as much as I hate to admit it... the SCIS aren't enough to deal with it all."
Quentin Lance
"Odo: Well, has Admiral Kira, or should I say Typhuss, arrived yet? Kira Nerys: The admiral's ship is due in three hours, and I wish I knew what he wanted to talk to me about."
"Odo: Maybe he's bringing good news. We could certainly use it. Kira Nerys: Yeah, well don't get your hopes up. There was something about the tone of his voice. Odo: Something ominous? Kira Nerys: Something pleasant. It was like he was going out of his way to be nice. Odo: I see. Kira Nerys: Well, whatever he wants to tell me, he knows I'm not going to like it. Odo: How can you be so sure? Kira Nerys: It comes with the job. No, I'm serious. Sitting in the Captain's chair, having that kind of responsibility, it focuses you. Odo: Well, I'll take your word for it."
—Odo and Kira, 2389
"I'd appreciate being left alone right now. I don't want to talk to you. Well, you've tried being alone and it hasn't done any good, so maybe it's time to stop brooding and start talking. Are you the ship's counselor now? No, I'm your wife. You know, the one who comes to you when she needs help. I'm just trying to return the favor. I didn't want you to know about this part of my life its too dangerous for you. You're going to have to do a lot better than that. Typhuss, talk to me. Tell me what's going on. Being a vigilante is what I am and I am sorry for hiding this from you, I was protecting you from danger understand that. I'm not angry with you."
— Typhuss and Kira, 2389
"When I first read your report I didn't know what to think. So I said to myself, that's all right, Nerys. You're stunned. You need to let it sink in a little. But it's been two days, Typhuss I still don't know what to think. I'm not guilty. What more is there to say? Maybe nothing. Maybe a lot. I believed in you. A lot of people did. You were special. You were the one man who stood apart from everyone else, the one man who stood for justice. Now what? Now I'm just another imperfect Human, I still do. Okay. The Prophets know I'm not perfect. I guess the truth is that anyone who lived through the occupation had to get a little dirty. But I need to know that no other innocent people died on your watch, Typhuss. That this was the only time. I'm not sure. I hope so. I've dedicated my life to helping strangers I've never met faces I've never seen well the innocent are faceless anymore."
— Kira and Typhuss, 2389

A vigilante, also known as a "mask", is an individual who takes the law into their own hands, believing that the SCIS and the court system are unable and unreliable to bring criminals to justice. However, not all vigilantes are fighting for justice, some do it out of personal revenge and antagonistic reasoning. It is also common for vigilantes to take on a moniker to be known by, some by personal choice and others having been named by the public.

Some vigilantes eventually gain a level of popularity and admiration from the general public that they begin to be seen as a "superhero". Despite the name suggesting this term is reserved for individuals with superhuman powers, it may also be used to define individuals without any but instead rely on combat skills, intellect or gadgetry.

While most vigilantes typically exist outside of the government, some have been given amnesty due to the positive effects that came from their actions. Some have gone so far as to be fully pardoned and even deputized as superheroes officially working more closely with law enforcement.
