You missed one of his skills.

Bashir: The moral of the story is never tell a lie.

"To think, after all this time, all our lunches together... you still don't trust me. There's hope for you yet, doctor." - Garak

"The truth is usually just an excuse for a lack of imagination."
Garak: Gul Benil.

"And if your conscience is bothering you, you should should soothe it with the knowledge that you may have just saved the entire Alpha Quadrant, and all it cost is the life of one Romulan Senator, one criminal... and the self-respect of one Starfleet officer. I don't know about you, but I'd call THAT a bargain".

"Which parts were true, and which were lies?"

Since Garak has claustrophobia Id take his word when he said his father used to lock him up.

rewatching ds9 i realised basically no single person bar the wormhole aliens did more to win the fight against the dominion than garak
Hands down one of the best characters in all of Star Trek

I did find it troubling and a little heartbreaking that in the final episode, Garak realized that it was all for nothing. Bashir noted that Cardassia will survive, but Garak understood that his Cardassia was gone.

Computer; delete that entire personal log.

Easily one of my favourite characters from the entirety of Star Trek and the one who is, by far, the furthest from Roddenberry's ideal.

"Never tell the truth when a lie will do"

Garak and Ducat were great characters. The main difference between them was Garak had a conscience, but even so, he seemed to hate himself that he had one.

Andy Robinson is such a great actor. He was fantastic in Dirty Harry and he elevated a side character in DS9 to one of the best on the show.

The depth of the characters in DS9 made it one of my favorite shows.
Blackerer (8 years ago (edited))
If you loved Garak, I suggest reading DS9 book A Stitch in Time. Its written directly by Andrew J. Robinson himself (apparently no ghost writer was needed) and explores Garaks backstory and is a good look into why he played him the way he did. Robinson really went DEEP with him.
