One instrument he liked was an acoustic string instrument called HurDagh that has 4 strings. When the warriors break out into song about battles and honor, he pulls out his Supghew, a small HurDagh, and provides some mellow background to the honor taking place in song. During is Starfleet training he experienced and trained with many different and to hand weapons. The fighting staff he found similar to the ba'tleth. He became very good and throwing knives, but found the throwing away of weapons to be . . silly. One throwing weapon he did find interesting, that of the 'throwing star', and became quite exacting with it. |
| Personal History | Kroz son of T'Rok was Born on Brestant to the Great House of Zharn. His father was a Highly decorated Klingon Warrior. He attained the rank of Captain and assigned to training at the Klingon War Academy. He and his brothers were trained since the day they could walk in the art of hand to hand combat, battle tactics, and warfare. Even with the early training, in his youth Kroz was drawn more to remote weapons and piloting. When he reached the age of accession Kroz was accepted to the Klingon War Academy. Competition among the warriors is always high. It is well known that many die during training. Kroz survived this, no doubt, due to his father's early training. Kroz is a true warrior. He preformed his duty as an assault drop-ship pilot on many battle fields. When the craft crashed he took up arms as with his other warriors and fought for the glory of the Klingon Empire. His craft took fire, became damaged, and crashed. He pulled himself from the wreckage and took his place as a soldier for Klingon Glory. During the battle he became injured, falling to his right knee. He raised a blade with his left hand to block the fatal blow. The blade came down onto his left fist splitting it in half, all the way to the elbow. The shock in the opponents face, was the moment Kroz needed to bring up a blade with his right directly into the heart of his opponent. He watched the life left his opponent before he hit the ground. The pain in Kroz' left arm was beyond mention. Though, he refused to sit there and bleed to death. He extracted the blade himself from his arm, then wrapped his forearm and hand as it bled. He continued the battle, even when he could not raise his left arm. He was called to advance to right flank taking the lead, even with the left arm that hung limp. His desire at that moment was to die an honorable death in battle to his enemy. During that flanking assult, Kroz received a pulse laser impact to his chest armor, knocking him to the ground. His Brethren rallied to his forward position, where they ended up outflanking the enemy and claiming victory. The wounded were transported for treatment. Kroz lay bleeding, ready to leave this flesh for Sto-Vo-Kor. Kroz's executive officer, Cmdr. Krang, came to his side, knowing that Kroz would die and wanted to be there to honor his action in battle at his passing. Krang still saw the fire in Kroz' eyes. He began shake him and extole the great deeds of Kroz during battle. Krang commanded Kroz to fight this today, so that he could fight another. "Honor is not gained by those wanting relief. I call on you to fight for your life to teach others of your bravery." Needless to say, Kroz survived the injuries. He regained use of his left arm, but lost the last two fingers on that hand. On cold nights a piercing pain can reach up from his fist, through his forearm, to his elbow. He was given the option of a prosthesis, but declined. For his leadership Kroz received the Honor Star for Valor. Other awards received were 2 Honorable Service badges and 2 Battle Clusters. During recovery and re-training Kroz spared with a woman. Kroz found Konora to be strong of body and spirit. After his recovery time and re-deployment he felt that he and Konora would a good match. She too believed and they took each other in marriage, or until the one was killed in battle. Kroz went off to duty on a cruiser, while Konora continued as a training officer. Kroz now has 2 strong sons; Klag (4) and Larg (2). They live with Konora on Narendra III. Because of his injury, Kroz was believed to not have what it took to be a front line warrior and was given responsibilities of shuttle pilot and supply officer. Kroz had no desire to relegated to inferior positions. He knew he could achieve more and wanted to prove himself. He became a mercenary for a time, but found many about him to not be worthy nor trustworthy. Kroz heard of other Klingons who had served within the United Federation of Planets, attending Starfleet Academy, etc. After several meetings about possible service within Starfleet, he applied and was accepted into an Officer's Exchange Program between the Klingon Empire and the Federation. Kroz attended special training which lasted about 1 year. During this time he learned policy and procedures of the Federation. He was instructed and gained skill with new tactics and technology. He honed his skills as a warrior as part of a unit. A co-hesiver group of fellow warriors that trained together and learned to depend on each other. He was allowed to keep his Officer rank of SoghHom, which is equivalent to Lieutenant Junior grade. During this time, Kroz's attitude changed about those Klingons that had kept him down and not allowed him to be a true warrior. He no longer held resentment nor anger toward them, but focused on his new role as a tactical officer. He now felt the honor of his team and their lives were his priority. He freely accepted the limitations placed on him by the Federation to work cohesively with the members of the tactical unit. At the end of his training he was prepared to take a position aboard a ship and help protect and service the officers and crew of that ship. But, that typical path was not the one presented to him. |
