Koloth: Difference between revisions

Cadet '''Koloth''', a [[Klingon]], is currently completing his Cadets Cruise after having graduated from [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Starfleet_Academy Starfleet Academy] with a [[Academy_Majors_and_Minors#Science_Requirements|Science Major]]. Although a personal secret he grew up on [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Maranga_IV Maranga IV] and followed in his parents footsteps in ship systems and design. After his brother had successfully raised his own Great House Koloth faked his own death, assumed a new identity and cut ties with the [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Klingon_Empire Klingon Empire] at the age of 24. Koloth spent the next 35 years pursuing the sciences and working as a civilian scientist throughout the [[Alpha Quadrant]] until eventually finding himself in a Cadets uniform swearing oaths of allegiance to the [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/United_Federation_of_Planets Federation]. While he often questions this decision he does not regret it.

* '''Physical Limitations''': Like most Klingons does not cope well with cold climates.

In the other areas of his life he is thoughtful often to the point of whimsy. He both hates and loves his Klingon culture, and more likely than not falls into the category of embracing what he feels are the good parts of the culture while ignoring the less tasteful. He carries a heavy burden of guilt at having deceived his mother when leaving Qo'noS and not being able to share with her his successes. This may account for his somewhat more openness with the female members of any species.  

While Koloth holds prejudices against telepathic races he does have close friends that are telepaths, so the right kind of individual can break through this wall eventually. While he doesn't often seek out friendships or company he actually delights in being involved in social circles.

* '''Brother''': Kahmar: Koloth's younger brother, but when news of his father's commendation reached Koloth he (with his families agreement) doctored records and switched identities with him. Kahmar (or Koloth) remains quite resemblant of Koloth in appearance, sharing in his brothers slightly less pronounced cranial ridges. After performing his first rite of ascension Kahmar had cosmetic surgery to have his ridges altered to be more typically Klingon, something that Koloth often jokingly teased him for. Kahmar came into prominence after being found to be having an affair with the wife of a leader of a minor Klingon House. He killed the leader in a duel and married his lover and was accorded his own House within the Klingon Empire. Kahmar wanted Koloth to align himself with his new house, and to follow the way of the warrior, a sad irony as Koloth had switched identities with his brother to avoid exactly that fate. Kahmar was witness to Koloth's fake suicide which seemed to restore his brother in his warriors eyes. Kahmar went on to lead successful campaigns against the Cardassian Empire and later the Dominion, so much so that his House was raised in stature and given a seat on the High Council. As far as Kahmar is concerned Koloth died when he was 24.

However during this time Koloth had been applying himself to his parents’ trade and took well to the research and design of ships and their systems. Such as it was Koloth was invited to [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Qo%27noS Qo’noS] to further advance his education in ship systems. When news arrived that Korath’s honour had been restored Koloth bribed contacts he had made in the [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Klingon_High_Council High Council] to allow him access to the central archive records. Not wanting to give up his career in ship design he altered birth records and switched identities with his younger brother.
