The Commander was a 24th century Klingon man, a warrior in the Klingon Imperial Fleet and, by the 2360s decade, the captain of the warship IKS Kothulu. By 2365, the Commander had been held in such high esteem in Klingon society that he was rarely addressed by his name, but instead by his rank of commander.
Biography[]
In 2365 the Kothulu picked up Kreel activity on the planet DQN 1196. The Kreel had discovered a cache of advanced weaponry left on the planet by the Cognoscente. They used these weapons to first attack the landing party sent to investigate their activities, then to attack the Kothulu itself, severely damaging the vessel in the process. Realizing that he had a duty to live and inform the Empire of the Kreel's acquisition of advanced weaponry, the Commander ordered a retreat from DQN-1196.
After repairs were made to the Kothulu, the Commander was ordered to take Ambassador Kobry to a rendezvous with the USS Enterprise-D, so that diplomatic talks could begin with the Kreel. While en route to meet with the Enterprise, the Commander held a private meeting with Kobry in which he insinuated to his first officer Tron that Kobry should be assassinated. This way the Kreel would be blamed for Kobry's death, the peace talks would break down, and war could continue with the Kreel.
Fortunately Kobry survived Tron's attack. Kobry informed Captain Jean-Luc Picard that Tron would be dealt with, and that the Commander would probably also have to answer for his role in the assassination attempt. (TNG novel: Strike Zone)
