Klingon Tactics Officer

suspicious anxious under pressure curious dutiful methodical
A shipboard Klingon tactical specialist assigned to the Pagh who functions as the bridge sensor and tactics operator. He inspects and escorts visiting personnel, questions Commander Riker with cultural curiosity, runs forensic and tactical scans, reports organism growth rates, and tracks the Enterprise’s movements. His procedural reports and alarmed readings drive Captain Kargan’s escalation from engineering crisis to combat posture. He balances professional duty with visible apprehension when forced to disable cloaking and shields.
