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 conflict between the Houses was averted, their long standing relationship was damaged and Mek'Tul fell out of favor with his father. | 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.

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 exited the Institute with the equivalent of a nursing degree. Soon after completing his studies, Mek'Tul requested his fathers support in joining the KDF. This request was refused as his father had heard of Mek'Tul's continued casual relationships.

Within weeks Mek'Tul had applied for enlistment into Starfleet. | Furious with his father, a dual was only averted due to the words of his Mother who suggested that MeK'Tul would find honor within the Klingon Empire's close ally, the Federation.
