Barnum Dax was the 26th Century incarnation of the Dax symbiont and captain of the USS Enterprise-I and USS Enterprise-J. He was quite full of himself and not one of Reginald Bain's favorite people. (Every Space You Take [BG])
During the war with the Breen, the Enterprise-I and several other Starfleet ships were disabled by a power dampening platform that the Breen put in orbit around Earth. Bain was able to destroy it by slamming the USS Maladventure into the platform while he and his crew launched in the ship's escape pods. With his ship functional again, Dax led Starfleet to drive the Breen away and rescue the escape pods.
Dax was not pleased to be made Bain's second in command of the Federation task force assembling at Starbase 228 to counter a possible Vulcan invasion. (Devastating Logic [BG])
The Enterprise-J was nearly destroyed in the battle with the combined Romulan and Vulcan fleets, but it was saved by the efforts of the USS Anomaly and Bain. After the war with the Vulcans was well in hand, Bain turned command of the Federation fleet over to Dax so the Anomaly could go to Vulcan itself.
Since he was in command at the end of the war, Dax got all of the credit for leading the Federation to victory and had Barnum Dax Day named in his honor. He ended up getting punched in the face by a Breen at the ceremony who was trying to kill Bain. (Just Desserts [BG])
