Personal History

Mor’tah was born on Ty’Gokor to Azhunlar and Tel’peh of the house of Daa’maq. The house was of old Klingon believes and believed honor, respect and family stand above all. Mor’tah was given his first weapon before he could walk and grew up with a weapon in hand. Tel’peh his father served the Klingon fleet proudly, captaining his Raptor Class ship to victory in many a lost fight. Songs of victory fill the home on an almost daily basis. By the age of ten, Mor’tah was already an accomplished warrior, not standing back to and man. He was regularly involved in brawls, protecting the honor of his house.

Mor’tah had an aggressive personality, and it didn’t take much for him to throw the first punch. Azhunlar, his mother was often patching him up, after brawls but loved him dearly. By the age of thirteen, Mor’tah was already joining his father on missions, observing and learning all he could about the different vessels in the fleet.

After two months of nothing happening, Mor’tah had first taste of battle in space. Along with two birds of prey, they responded to a distress call from one of their scout vessels. As they came out of Warp, they saw three Romulan ships firing on their scout. The ship was badly damaged but it kept on returning fire. Mor’tah peeped over the tactical officer’s shoulder to see that their scout vessel was only showing one life sign remaining on the ship.

Mor’tah jumped as the scout started tearing apart. The Captain of the shout ship skilfully guided what was left of his ship straight into when of the aggressors. Tel’peh and his men all howled as the ship exploded and disappeared into space. It only took seconds before the Romulans were running from the birds of prey.

Tel’peh had known the Captain and considered him a friend. On returning to Ty’Gokor he held an R'uustai, taking Tsen into their house as a son. Tsen and Mor’tah spent hours a day training and telling stories of the great warriors. At the age of sixteen, both boys joined the Klingon fleet. Mor’tah served as a Helmsman on his father’s ship, while Tsen choose to remain a fighter and joined the Security detail.

From then one, Mor’tah spent most of his time in space, patrolling the Neutral zone and furthering his studies in his off time. He returned to Ty’Gokor twice to complete his Rite of Ascensions, before heading off to space again.

At the age of twenty five, Mor’tah was promoted to the First Officer of his father’s ship. This made his father very proud. He had just been promoted when he was given his first away mission as the leader of the group. In a joint mission with another ship, five men where sent to an abandon planet to investigate a strange signal. It turned out to be a trap. Two of his men were killed in the initial shoot out and one seriously wounded. Mor’tah fought bravely, getting shot twice, but carried on going. When the fight was over, seven Romulans lay at their feet. He handed the wounded crew mate his Mevak, to complete the hegh’bat. In horror he found the last crew mate of their group had run. As Mor’tah walked back to the extraction point, soaked in the blood of is enemies and his own, the missing crew mate came running up, offering to help him. In his stride, Mor’tah drew his Bat’leth and decapitated the coward.

Although the battle was won, Mor’tah felt he had failed his men. He could not approach his father with it as he knew he would not understand. Mor’tah decided to transfer to a different ship and start fresh. Mor’tah was made a Helmsman of a diplomatic ship, where for the first time he started meeting different species.

During a stay over at a Starfleet base, he met a few Marine pilots in a bar. One of them was a Klingon. It didn’t take much for them to convince him that a diplomatic ship was no place for a warrior. It didn’t take long for the diplomat on the ship, T’seW to get him enlisted with Starfleet.
