Personality & Traits
| General Overview | K'mir can appear rough and imposing at first, but is actually fairly easygoing for a Klingon. He is friendly, sociable and has a good sense of humor. He respects courage, loyalty and honesty and generally gets along well with others. K'mir is straightforward and usually says what he thinks, which can sometimes make him blunt or undiplomatic. He takes his duties seriously and is protective of both his family and the Marines under his command. K'mir is proud of being Klingon and of his family's history and traditions. |
|
| Strengths & Weaknesses | K'mir is exceptionally strong and possesses considerable endurance, while remaining agile and well coordinated for someone his size. He is an experienced Marine, particularly skilled with heavy weapons, field ordnance, demolitions and small-unit tactics. He remains calm under pressure and is willing to change a plan when circumstances require it. His self-reliance can make him reluctant to ask for help, and he has a tendency to continue after being injured when he should stop. He is extremely protective of his family and the Marines under his command and will sometimes take risks himself that he would not ask of others. When wounded or heavily pressed in combat, K'mir can enter a state of Battle Fury, becoming considerably more aggressive and focused on defeating the immediate threat. He remains aware of allies and noncombatants and does not attack indiscriminately. The fury normally subsides once the immediate threat has passed. |

| Personal History | Early Childhood K'mir Valadorn was born on July 11, 2364, in Kal'tara City on Qo'noS, the eldest child of Rojek and D'jarren Pallara Valadorn. His father served with the Hurric Marines, while his mother worked in her father's melee weapons shop. His younger brother K'tal was born two years later, followed by his sister Sh'yah two years after that. K'mir's early education began at home with his family and included reading, writing, mathematics, Klingon history and family traditions. Rojek also spent time with him running, climbing and swimming, while D'jarren taught him about the flowers and medicinal herbs she grew. K'mir frequently accompanied his mother to his grandfather's weapons shop, where he became interested in watching the weapons being made, repaired and maintained. By the age of four, K'mir was already unusually large and strong for his age and showed an aptitude for martial training. He entered a structured Hurric training program and moved into children's training quarters with others his age. His early training included physical conditioning, balance, coordination, discipline and basic unarmed combat. His regular education continued alongside his training. During his first year in the training quarters, K'mir learned to follow the daily schedule, care for his own belongings and share responsibilities with the other children. He continued to see his parents and siblings during regular family periods. In 2369, when K'mir was five years old, his father was reported missing during a Hurric reconnaissance mission. Rojek had been leading a small team investigating a Klingon settlement that had gone silent when their shuttle came under attack by raiders. The damaged shuttle later crashed while attempting to escape. The wreckage was eventually located with both dead and injured Marines aboard. Rojek was not among them, although evidence showed that he had survived the crash and left the wreckage on foot. An extensive search failed to locate him. Rojek had suffered a serious head injury during the crash and lost most of his personal memories. He retained his language and military skills, but could not remember his name, his family or where he came from. During his recovery he met Mirel Anara, a Betazoid woman, and the two eventually became involved. Neither knew that Rojek was already married. On August 15, 2370, Mirel gave birth to identical twin sons, Hij'qa and Morath. While holding one of his newborn sons, Rojek suddenly remembered holding K'mir following his birth. Other memories began returning soon afterward, including those of D'jarren and his children. In November 2370, when K'mir was six, Rojek returned to Qo'noS with Mirel and the twins. K'mir was home when his father returned and ran to him, throwing his arms around his father in a hug. Rojek later introduced him to his two new younger brothers. Mirel established a home of her own nearby, where she raised Hij'qa and Morath. Rojek acknowledged the twins as his sons, and they remained part of the extended Valadorn family. 2371–2373 — Ages Seven to Nine As K'mir grew older, his Hurric training became progressively more demanding. He advanced in unarmed combat and began training with wooden versions of Klingon melee weapons. Because he was larger and stronger than many of the other children his age, his instructors placed particular emphasis on control. During this period, K'mir was introduced to basic unit tactics and marksmanship with disruptor pistols and rifles. By the age of nine, he was entrusted with his first real melee weapon, the L'evek tri-blade, and began training with larger squad weapons. His aptitude led to additional instruction in heavy weapons and leadership. 2374–2380 — Ages Ten to Sixteen K'mir continued his Hurric training while attending classes with other Klingon students. His training became more advanced as he grew older, particularly in heavy weapons, unit tactics, field ordnance, demolitions and leadership. During this time K'mir became friends with Varonna Loch, the daughter of a Klingon diplomat and his Human diplomatic aide. At fourteen, K'mir came upon Varonna fighting three male students who had taken exception to her mixed heritage. Varonna was already holding her own, but K'mir joined the fight when he saw that it was three against one. He threw one of her attackers into a wall, and the other two retreated. 2380–2384 — Klingon Warrior Academy K'mir entered the Klingon Warrior Academy in 2380 at the age of sixteen. His studies included military history, field tactics, survival, advanced weapons training, field ordnance and demolitions, combined operations and leadership. Much of his practical training was conducted through team and field exercises, where the students took turns leading and serving under one another. K'mir continued to specialize in heavy weapons and did particularly well in weapons and field exercises. In 2384, K'mir graduated in the top ten of his class and was assigned to the 132nd Ground Assault Unit of the Hurric Marines. 2384–2390 — 132nd Ground Assault Unit, Hurric Marines Following graduation from the Warrior Academy, K'mir was assigned to the 132nd Ground Assault Unit and placed in a heavy weapons section under Gunnery Sergeant R'Lee Er'mei. Er'mei was an experienced Hurric Marine with considerable knowledge of heavy weapons and field ordnance and a rather bad sense of humor. He was not particularly impressed that K'mir had graduated in the top ten of his class and put him to work alongside the other junior Marines. K'mir continued his training in heavy weapons, field ordnance and demolitions while learning the day-to-day work of the unit. Er'mei frequently questioned him about the weapons and equipment they worked with and expected K'mir to find the answer when he did not know it. As K'mir gained experience, Er'mei gave him greater responsibility, eventually placing him in charge of a small weapons team. During one ground operation, K'mir's team was providing heavy-weapons support when another Hurric element was forced into a poor defensive position. With communications unreliable and his original position no longer useful, K'mir moved his team and their weapon to a new position. From there they provided covering fire while the isolated Marines withdrew, bringing both teams safely back to the main force. K'mir remained with the 132nd for six years, taking part in ground operations, patrols, anti-piracy missions and weapons interdiction operations. During this time he remained in contact with his uncle K'rang, who had served with both the Hurric and Federation Marines. K'rang eventually suggested that K'mir consider serving with the Federation Marines. After giving the matter some thought, K'mir decided to take his uncle's advice. 2390–2391 — Federation Marine Officer Training In 2390, after six years with the Hurric Marines, K'mir applied to join the Federation Marines. With his previous military training and experience, he entered the Federation Marine officer training program. His training included Federation Marine organization and doctrine, rules of engagement, small-unit tactics, joint operations with Starfleet, Federation weapons, field ordnance and demolitions. Much of the military training was already familiar to K'mir, although he also had to learn Federation procedures and the responsibilities expected of a Federation Marine officer. During his training K'mir met Edmund Merrick, a former Starfleet officer who had recently transferred into the Federation Marines. The two trained together on several occasions and developed a professional respect for one another. Following completion of his training in 2391, K'mir was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant. 2391–2394 — USS StarStrike K'mir's first assignment as a Federation Marine officer was to the Marine detachment aboard the Akira-class USS StarStrike. The Marines frequently worked alongside the ship's Security department during boarding actions and ground deployments. During his three years aboard the StarStrike, K'mir took part in anti-piracy and weapons interdiction operations, boarding actions and rapid-response deployments to threatened colonies and installations. He continued to specialize in heavy weapons and field ordnance and was frequently assigned to boarding and ground teams. As K'mir gained experience, he was given greater responsibility and was occasionally placed in charge of small teams of Marines and Security personnel. Some of these teams operated away from the StarStrike for extended periods with limited support from the ship. In mid-2394, K'mir was transferred to the USS Challenger and assigned to Merrill's Marauders. 2394–2395 — USS Challenger / Merrill's Marauders In mid-2394, K'mir was transferred to the USS Challenger and assigned to Merrill's Marauders under Major Frank Merrill. K'mir was placed in charge of the unit's heavy weapons section and was responsible for the Marines assigned to it as well as keeping their weapons and equipment ready for use. During his time with the Marauders, K'mir took part in a number of operations against pirates and slavers and led his section during three boarding missions. During one of these missions, intelligence indicated that the prisoners aboard a slaver vessel were being held in one central location. Once aboard, the Marauders discovered that the prisoners had been scattered throughout several sections of the ship. With the prisoners too close to the fighting, K'mir could not use his section's heavy weapons without risking hitting the people they had come to rescue. He had the heavier weapons left behind and continued with rifles and smaller weapons. Breaching charges were used where there was enough distance from the prisoners, while in other areas K'mir and his Marines found another way through. K'mir and his section reached their objective and helped secure the prisoners. Merrill gave K'mir greater responsibility during the boarding missions that followed. After the third boarding mission, K'mir was promoted to First Lieutenant in October 2395. 2395–2396 — Khitomer In late 2395, K'mir was assigned to security at the joint Klingon-Federation Embassy on Khitomer, where he served as Beta-shift watch commander. He supervised the security personnel on his watch, coordinated patrols and responded to incidents involving embassy personnel and visitors. During the visit of a Romulan delegation, a group of Klingons gathered outside the embassy to protest their presence. As the protest became increasingly heated, K'mir deployed additional security personnel and kept the protesters separated from the delegation. K'mir allowed the protest to continue until one of the Klingons attempted to break through the security line. The Klingon was restrained and removed before the incident could develop into a larger fight. K'mir remained at Khitomer until 2396, when he was transferred to the USS Spector and assigned to the 501st Force Recon group. 2396–2398 — USS Spector / 501st Force Recon In 2396, K'mir was transferred to the USS Spector and assigned to the 501st Force Recon group as Assistant Deputy Leader, a junior field-command position beneath the unit commander and deputy commander. He was frequently entrusted with leading elements of the 501st during field operations. During one reconnaissance mission, K'mir's team lost communications with the Spector and discovered a hostile force moving toward another 501st team. Unable to warn them, K'mir positioned his Marines to intercept the hostile force while two Marines continued trying to reestablish communications. K'mir used demolition charges to block one approach and force the enemy onto another route. Once contact was restored and the other team had been warned, he broke off the engagement and returned with his Marines, including one who had been wounded. K'mir was given greater responsibility during later field assignments and became recognized within the 501st for his tactics in the field. August 2398 — Vulvan 3 In August 2398, while the 501st Force Recon group was operating out of Starbase 123, the USS Spector received a distress call from a medical university on Vulvan 3 in the Shackleton Expanse. Approximately five hundred students, faculty and staff had been taken hostage by members of the Confederate Zionist movement. The university had a mixed population, with its Cardassian students being of particular concern because of the terrorists' hostility toward Cardassians. The terrorists also controlled an old Lyran Corvette in orbit with its weapons trained on the university. The Spector disabled the Corvette before the 501st deployed to the surface. The 501st divided the university campus into sections, with K'mir given responsibility for one section and the Marines assigned to it. His Marines fought their way to one of the principal hostage locations and secured the students and staff being held there. As preparations were made to evacuate them, a head count showed that a substantial number of students were still missing. University personnel reported that they had been moved to a clinical training facility elsewhere on the campus. Several of the missing students were Cardassian. K'mir reported the situation and reorganized his Marines. He left part of his force to protect those already rescued, secure the prisoners and wounded, and finish clearing the area. He took the remaining Marines and moved toward the clinical facility. The direct approach had been fortified. K'mir had the heavy weapons to break through it, but with the missing students somewhere beyond the terrorist position, he could not use them without risking the hostages. A member of the university staff told K'mir about a service route between the buildings that was not completely shown on the Marines' tactical maps. K'mir changed the plan. He left one element to contain the terrorists at the front and led the remainder through the service route toward the rear of the facility. The Marines reached the rear of the building without being detected. As they approached the facility, a heavy security door began closing across the corridor. K'mir slung his rifle, caught the lower edge of the door and held it open while his Marines passed beneath it. Once the last Marine was through, he released the door and went through himself. The Marines continued into the facility and located the missing students. Once the hostages were secured, K'mir ordered his Marines to check them for injuries and made another head count. This time the numbers matched. The service route was too narrow to evacuate the students, so the main route through the front of the facility had to be opened. K'mir coordinated with the Marines he had left there, and the two groups moved against the remaining terrorists from opposite directions. Most surrendered. The wounded were evacuated first, followed by the students and staff and then the prisoners. Before leaving the university, K'mir asked for one final head count. Everyone was accounted for. By the end of the operation, approximately five hundred hostages had been rescued. Eighty-four terrorists were killed during the fighting across the campus and another one hundred sixteen were captured or surrendered. Reports following the operation noted K'mir's decisions during the rescue. His Marines remembered the security door and that K'mir had held it until all of them were through. For his actions and leadership during the Vulvan 3 operation, K'mir was promoted to Captain in September 2398. September–October 2398 — Qo'noS Shortly after his promotion, K'mir took a month's leave and returned home to Qo'noS. It was during this leave that he met Jali Andloch during a barroom fight. The circumstances were hardly a conventional introduction, but the two quickly took an interest in one another. What followed was a whirlwind courtship, and K'mir and Jali were married in October 2398. When K'mir's leave ended, the newly married couple traveled to Starbase 123. K'mir returned to duty with the 501st Force Recon group, while Jali joined the station's Security Investigations department. 2398–2399 — Starbase 123 K'mir resumed his duties with the 501st Force Recon group at Starbase 123 and remained with the unit through the remainder of 2398 and into 2399. In 2399, K'mir received orders transferring him to the USS Pioneer. Along with the transfer came the news that he had been selected to serve as the Marine Company's Executive Officer and Weapons Specialist. The assignment would give K'mir responsibility for helping command the Pioneer's Marine company, as well as putting his years of experience with heavy weapons and field ordnance to use. K'mir accepted the assignment and prepared to leave Starbase 123 for the Pioneer. Medical Record K'mir is in excellent physical condition and maintains a demanding strength and conditioning regimen. Over the course of his martial training and military career, he has suffered numerous injuries, including knife and sword wounds, several disruptor wounds and seven broken bones. These have left him with a number of scars. K'mir has declined cosmetic treatment to remove them. He has recovered from his previous injuries without significant impairment and remains fit for full active duty. |
