Motura was a Vidiian sculptor of note on his planet who suffered from the Phage. In 2371, Dereth, the individual assigned to locate replacement organs for Motura, harvested Neelix's lungs and implanted them into Motura.

When he was captured by the USS Voyager, he informed the crew of his people's plight and expressed remorse at his actions, telling them he would accept if they chose to kill him to return Neelix's lungs.

Grateful when they did not, he attempted to atone by convincing Dereth to transplant one of Kes' lungs into Neelix, saving his life. (VOY: "Phage")

Motura was played by Stephen B. Rappaport.
