Ash Tyler (Klingon)

"I shouldn't be here. I should be an activated Klingon spy. Behind bars, or dead. Michael, the reason it didn't take, the reason L'Rell couldn't get through to me, that was you. Did Ash Tyler love you? Hell yes he did. And I can't find my way back without you."

Ash Tyler, formerly known Voq, was a Klingon warrior in the 23rd century. During the Federation-Klingon War of 2256, Voq agreed to undergo the House of Mo'Kai's choH'a' surgery, in order to appear human. Voq DNA and memories were then spliced with a captured Starfleet officer, Ash Tyler.
