Navok (Klingon)

Navok was a male Klingon in the Klingon Defense Force in the 23rd century. As of 2291, he held the rank of General. As some point in his life, he was cut in the throat, leaving him with a deep scar and a voice that barely rose above a whisper.

During the chancellorship of Kesh, Navok began to grow concerned that the Klingon Empire was being bankrupted by the Council's bellicose militarism. With a number of like-minded officers, they began to explore the possibility of a military coup. Recognizing that doing so would provide the Romulan Star Empire with the opportunity to conquer the Empire, Navok imposed upon his good friend, Ambassador Curzon Dax, to arrange a covert meeting with unofficial representatives of the Federation.

On stardate 9121.4, Navok met with with Captain Spock and retired Admiral Harry Morrow, to whome he lay out his case for Federation assistance in bringing about a change in the Klingon government. While the two Federation citizens were aboard his ship, Navok had the bad fortune of encountering both Captains Klaa and Kang. He was put into Kang's brig as a suspected traitor, and killed there by one of Klaa's men. (TOS eBook: Mere Anarchy: The Blood-Dimmed Tide)
