K'mtok

K'mtok was Klingon Ambassador to the United Federation of Planets from 2379 to the present. An ally of Councillor Kopek, K'mtok was given the post by Chancellor Martok, Son of Urthog after the Tezwa crisis, with the fact that Federation President Min Zife had bypassed Ambassador Lantar to negotiate with Martok directly used as a pretext to force K'mtok's appointment. K'mtok favored a hard-line approach, and initially believed that Nanietta Bacco, Zife's successor, would be easily intimidated into acquiesing to his agenda; he later learned much more respect for Bacco.
