would have to assume you want name recognition as part of a major feature reward, such as gauntlet. I have no idea who 99% of these named characters are.
I am with you here. I think we need to think more like "V'ger" or Crystaline Entity
Ideally, I'd like it to be someone with some marquee value and no existing variants. And I'd love it to be someone with ENG/CMD/SEC. I tire of drawing ENG combination matches, because all anyone ever uses for that skill is The Caretaker. Even in an ENG primary Gauntlet, I'm far likelier to get a wall of Caretakers than I am to get anyone who has ENG and whatever the other skill is. And that's why it should be the long overdue Commander Shelby. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
Apart from all the things that have already been mentioned, I think that some or most of the existing Gauntlet characters also have something mysterious and unusual about them: they are higher life-forms, live much longer, aren't humanoid or nobody knows exactly what's going on inside of them. The Ba'ul would make sense to me, because they fit that description too.
And some time ago someone suggested Onaya from DS9, which would also make sense in my opinion (I mean, we got Armus, so...).
I'm trying to think of someone from Voyager, but so far nobody comes to my mind, except for the aliens from Scientific Method, but they didn't even have a name and had, like, 5 minutes screen time

"The Prophets" from DS9 would fit the trend too. I don't know which character art they would use, or maybe a group,

To fit with the bolded part, what about Rumpelstiltskin from DS9's 'If Wishes Were Horses' episode? We already have Buck Bokai in the game.

The obvious choice would be Mr. Homn, fits right in with the mysterious part and the TNG tradition (Locutus, Guinan, Armus).
Nice idea. But can you imagine how much alcohol that would require? Just equip him with alcohol and Lwaxana's luggage. No skills or traits at all.
Right? He can’t talk so no DIP. She pushes him around so no COM or SEC. the guy is literally a bellboy
He once thanked Picard for the drinks, so he can talk. He just wisely bites his tongue to remain in service to Lwaxana, who let go of his predecessor shortly before her first appearance in "Haven". To have remained in her service for as long as he did, Mr. Homn may be the most diplomatic character in the canon.

No security for Mr. Homn? What you do not know is that he stole the Sacred Chalice of Rixx and the Holy Rings of Betazed years ago and Lwaxana is none the wiser cause he replaced them with copies.

OP diplomacy
DS9 option: Nilva from "Profit and Lace." Without his support, we would have ended up with Grand Nagus Brunt.

oooooh that's a good one too
Or the scene where he kills Dax muahahaha

I like V’ger but I think that should be a merging of Commander Decker and Ilia Probe characters like the Duras Sisters or Tuvix.

Just like Resistance Neelix also has a lot of SEC for just running away

And Grateful Lwaxana has a lot of SEC for...dress? Red hair?

As far as servants go, I always preferred Maihar'du, Grand Nagus Zek's servant, bodyguard, food taster, pilot and provider of Hupyrian beetle snuff.
says hi
I am sure that DB would have event after event with the Metrons
