Falaak (portrayed by Bruce Spence) was an antagonistic character from Farscape who appeared in the Season 4 episode "A Prefect Murder". He was the Prefect of a society of Sebaceanoids living on an unnamed planet in Tormented Space. His people had only recently achieved peace among themselves and were due to appoint a new clan leader as the next Prefect. Falaak desired to hold on to power and arranged for the assassination of the Prefect Elect Gaashah, hiring the mercenary E'Alet to carry out this plot. With the arrival of the crew of Moya, Fallak had the perfect scapegoats to cover up his involvement. He had E'Alet use his sgabba flies to implant subliminal commands in the mind of Aeryn Sun and she killed Gaashah while under E'Alet's control.

John Crichton, Aeryn, Sikozu, the priest Paroos and Gaashah's son Zerbat were able to uncover the truth behind the assassination, confronting and killing E'Alet in the Prefect's castle. Chiana had been held captive there and had heard E'Alet talking with Falaak, so she knew the truth. Falaak appeared in the palace after E'Alet had been killed, offering his "congratulations" to Zerbat for avenging his father. Zerbat and the others confronted Falaak and Zerbat warned Falaak that he would face the judgement of the people for what he had done. Falaak refused to let himself be judged and opted to take his own life, throwing himself out of the window of the Prefect's office and plummeting down the cliff that the castle stood upon.
