Changes: Tokath

Revision as of 17:51, 20 June 2014

Tokath was the Romulan in charge of the secret prison camp on Carraya IV, where Klingons captured at Khitomer were sent. When the Romulans decided that the prisoners were no longer useful (they had intended on trading the prisoners back to their people in return for territorial concessions), they were offered release.

The Klingon prisoners, however, did not wish to dishonor their families, and so they asked to stay. Tokath sacrificed his career by allowing them to stay, as he was forced to remain to supervise them to prevent their executions. Whether the decision was ratified by Tokath's own compassion, or by a Romulan political agenda to avoid seeming weak, is unclear. Also unclear is Tokath's military status--he is possibly still a member of the Romulan military as he wears an attire reminiscent of Romulan military uniforms, but not the prototypical uniform seen on known military personnel. The arrangement was originally enabled by the Klingon warrior L'Kor, who promised that his people would submit to Tokath in exchange for secrecy, and the Klingons and Romulans learned to co-exist peacefully. Over time, L'Kor and Tokath became friendly and shared the administrative responsibilities of running the camp.

Tokath was married to Gi'ral, one of the Klingons in the camp; together, the two had a daughter, Ba'el. When Worf arrived in 2369, Tokath distrusted him, and refused to let him leave the encampment. Later, when Worf and Ba'el became romantically involved, Tokath disapproved. Tokath had enough and ordered Worf that he must accept life in this peaceful society or die.

When Worf refused to cooperate with him, Tokath ordered Worf's execution. When Tokath's own daughter, Ba'el, and other Klingons stand in the front of Worf. Tokath apparently had great love for Gi'ral as he stopped the execution at her gentle intervention. Tokath stopped the execution and made arrangements with a supply ship to take the group away. Tokath let Worf and the other Klingons who wish to start a new life leave encampment, while Worf exacted a promise from these youths to honor their parents by not revealing that their parents were survivors from Khitomer. (TNG: "Birthright, Part II")

Tokath was played by Alan Scarfe who previously played Romulan Admiral Mendak in the fourth season episode "Data's Day".
