Douwd are an extra-galactic species, able to manipulate their appearance. They are self-described as "immortal beings of disguises and false surroundings." They have been observed to have the ability to create and destroy on an epic scale. Their main ways of both attack and defense were through psychic and psychological means.
Though they possess great power, they are not able to bring people back to life, though they can create near-perfect illusions of whomever they wanted to. The Douwd appear to be nearly omnipotent beings, but not omniscient. Their true form appears as a slender, translucent humanoid, which had a purple hue.
In 2366, one Douwd revealed himself to the crew of the Federation starship Enterprise-D, posing as a human named Kevin Uxbridge. The Enterprise was responding to a distress signal sent out by the colony on Rana IV, finding only Uxbridge and his wife to be the only survivors of a brutal, planet-wide attack.
It was eventually revealed that Uxbridge is a Douwd in disguise, and his wife an illusion of his creation. When the Husnock attacked Rana IV, the Douwd refused to fight, as he was a devout pacifist. However, when his wife and the rest of the colony were destroyed, Uxbridge was devastated.
Using his immeasurable powers, he instantly annihilated the entire Husnock race –all fifty billion– with a single thought. He then created the illusion of his wife, and their homestead before the attack.
Uxbridge sentenced himself to exile on the now-ruined Rana IV. The truth revealed, Captain Picard confessed that the Federation is not qualified to judge him, or the issue, and allowed him to stay on Rana IV.
It is not known what became of the being known as "Kevin Uxbridge" after his encounter with the Enterprise-D in 2366.
