View source for Talak

'''Talak, son of Yorchogh''' was a [[Klingon]] [[general]] from the [[House of K'Tal]]. He had at least one son, [[Kargan, son of Talak|Kargan]], captain of the {{IKS|Pagh}}.

Prior to her posting on the {{IKS|Gorkon}}, [[Tereth]] had an opportunity to serve directly under General Talak but chose instead to serve under [[Captain]] [[Huss]].  

During the [[Dominion War]], Talak often travelled to [[Deep Space 9]], from where [[Martok, son of Urthog|General Martok]] controlled the [[Klingon Empire]]'s forces being used against the [[Dominion]]. [[Benjamin Sisko]] told Talak the [[Human]] metaphor ''"the [[Devil]] can quote [[Bible|Scripture]] for his own ends''". As the Klingons had no devil, Sisko had to explain the metaphor to him.

In [[2376]], Talak ordered [[Captain]] [[Klag, son of M'Raq|Klag]] of the IKS ''Gorkon'' to work with the [[Federation]] in finding several missing dignitaries, including [[Admiral]] [[Leonard McCoy]], who had been traveling with [[B'Oraq]] to [[Qo'noS]] for a medical conference.

Shortly after, Talak commanded the Klingon fleet assigned to the [[Kavrot sector]] aboard the {{class|Vor'cha}} cruiser, {{IKS|Akua}}. Shortly after Klag's induction into the [[Order of the Bat'leth]], Talak began conspiring with Klag's younger brother, [[Dorrek, son of M'Raq|Dorrek]] &ndash; captain of the {{IKS|K'mpec|Qang class}} &ndash; to avenge the dishonors that both believed done to them: Talak seeking to avenge his son's death and Klag's survival on [[Marcan V]] during the war, and Dorrek seeking to avenge his father, [[M'Raq, son of K'Ton|M'Raq]], who had been ostracized (because of his capture by the Romulans) and then "mutilated" by Klag, who had taken his father's right arm as his own after M'Raq's death. ({{n|GKN|A Good Day to Die}})

After ordering Klag to go back on his word he made to the [[Children of San-Tarah|natives]] of [[San-Tarah]], he went with his fleet to that world to conquer it, and destroy any Klingon who got in his way. The resulting battle resulted in the destruction of the {{IKS|Akua}} and his subsequent death at the hands of Klag on San-Tarah. ({{n|GKN|{{dis1|Honor Bound|Gorkon novel}}}})
