Martok

Martok was a 24th century Klingon general and politician who served as the head of the House of Martok and the Chancellor of the Klingon Empire from 2375 onwards.

The son of a commoner born in the Ketha province lowlands, Martok was able to raise through the ranks of the Klingon Defense Force, serving in the Klingon Civil War before eventually becoming a General and a trusted advisor of Chancellor Gowron.

Commanding the KDF contingent aboard Deep Space 9 during the war, Martok become one of the most respected leaders in the Empire, his fame and respect often outpacing the Chancellor. Following the death of Gowron during a duel with Martok's close friend, Lieutenant Commander Worf, Worf appointed Martok the new Chancellor of the Empire in 2375. Martok guided the Empire through the rest of the war and promised to bring the Empire through a new age of reform.
