Mek'Tul: Difference between revisions

At a young age Mek'Tul showed promise in the ways of the warrior and entered the Klingon training academy on Ogat at the age of ten in preparation for his age of accession, which happened at thirteen. At the age of eighteen, Mek'Tul's father informed him that he would be married to the daughter of an ally House for the purpose of creating greater bonds and perhaps uniting the Houses. While reluctant, Mek'Tul agreed believing it to be his duty. Unfortunately, the marriage was called off when Mek'Tul's bride-to-be felt her honor had been slighted. It emerged that Mek'Tul was continuing a secret relationship with another warrior from a rival House while still courting his bride-to-be. While the conflict between the Houses was averted, their relationship was damaged and Mek'Tul fell out of favor with his father.  

While his older brother became an officer in the KDF, Mek'Tul was instructed by his father to learn the ways of the healers. Despite being upset at the instruction Mek'Tul followed the orders and studied for three years at the Antaak Institute, part of the Klingon Medical Authority, on Ganalda IV. While at the Institute Mek'Tul was instructed by not only by Klingon healers but professionals from the Federation who were there as part of an exchange program. Mek'Tul exiting the Institute with the equivilant of a nursing degree. Soon after Mek'Tul requested his fathers support in joining the KDF. This request was refused as his father had heard of Mek'Tul's casual relationships while at the Institute. This along with his continued reluctance to marry for alliance caused his father too, privately, question his honor.  

There is some whispered speculation within House Tenalor that Kortok was pleased to have his disappointment of a son far from him, however, the one warrior who drunkenly voiced this idea was disemboweled by Kortok.
