Personality & Traits

General Overview		Raised all his life as a Klingon. But every time he looked at his mother he saw that there was something more to who he was. Thus he was always curious about his human side. Unfortunately he never got the chance to meet his human Grandmother, so he was on his own to discover his humanity. His father was originally against his applying to Star Fleet. However he was finally able to convince him. "The true test of a Warrior is to stay true to who and what you are, when surrounded by those who are not like you. Look at Ambassador Worf. With his example to guide me, how can I fail?" What else could his father say... When he graduated his father presented him with his own Bat'leth - forged by a Da'Har master on Boreth in the style of The Sword of Kahless.
Strengths & Weaknesses		Holds honor above all. At times this can be both a strength and a weakness and while in the Empire it would be the norm. In the Federation it has landed him in hot water from time to time.
Ambitions		Having achieved his goal of command, he knows he will one day have to leave Starfleet to take over the leadership of his House.
Hobbies & Interests		Highly skilled with a Bat'leth and a variety of edged weapons, he is just as deadly with his bare hands.
