When Alexander was approximately ten years old, his foster grandmother returned him to Worf’s custody.  He was becoming difficult for the older couple to control, and Alexander had developed behavior problems which the Rozhenko’s believed only his father, as a Klingon, would be able manage and change.  Aboard the Enterprise, Alexander continued his disruptive ways, bullying his fellow students and lying to his teacher and his father.  Worf was distressed that his wife had not chosen to teach young Alexander the Ways of the Warrior before her death.  Worf finally sought help, and got it through Deanna Troi, who became very much attached to Alexander, as did Alexander to her.  So much so, that she became his guardian in the event of Worf’s death.

As a direct result of Kor's rejection, Martok was forced to serve as a mere civilian laborer on a

Klingon ship from 2345 to 2350. It was during a battle with the Romulans that he had acquitted
+

himself so well in the fighting that he was given a battlefield commission. Sadly, his father died

only shortly before he received this commission. This most probably might always have been

From there, Martok worked his way up the ranks, until he became a general. He began his steady

rise to hero status when he commanded the Klingon forces loyal to chancellor Gowron at the battle
+
−
of Mempa during the Klingon Civil War in 2368. Although Gowron's forces were sent into a full
+
−
retreat, Martok's bold leadership kept the battle from turning into a complete rout. In a way, Martok
+
−
can be described as the “Stonewall Jackson” of the Klingon empire.
+
−
In late 2371 Martok was abducted from Qo'nos by the Dominion as part of an intricate wartime
+
−
ploy, and imprisoned in an internment camp in the Gamma quadrant, where he lost his left eye
+
−
during a fight with the Jem'Hadar camp commander, leaving him half-blind.
+

After his escape from

this internment camp, he returned to Deep Space 9, where chancellor Gowron appointed him

commander of the Klingon detachment.<br>

Later that same year Martok was given command of the IKS Rotarran. But his time in the Dominion

internment camp had left a serious scar on Martok's psyche and self-esteem.
+
−
Cognizant of his
+
−
uneasiness with a command position following his confinement, he invited Worf to serve as his first

officer. This in itself shows his reasonableness as an officer and his willingness to delegate and trust

and to place the interests of the empire above his own.<br>

Martok was initially too cautious in his command of the Klingon warship, despite the crew's already
+
−
low morale, as a result of a serious of defeats. He exacerbated the situation by deliberately avoiding
+
−
several opportunities to engage the Jem'Hadar in combat during the opening shots of the Dominion
+
−
War. To preempt a mutiny, Worf staged a challenge between Martok and himself, allowing Martok
+
−
to win. This rekindled Martok's selfconfidence,
+
−
as well as the crew's trust in him.
+
−
His brilliant leadership and near-heroic
+
−
exploits during the rest of the Dominion War from 2373 to
+
−
2375, made him very popular among his peers, as well as civilians. He was instrumental in
+
−
convincing Gowron to support Starfleet's offensive to recapture Deep Space 9 from the Dominion.
+
−
He was promoted to the position of Supreme Commander of the combined Starfleet/Klingon Ninth
+
−
Fleet in early 2374, but he resented the position because of all the paperwork and bureaucracy
+
−
involved in commanding an entire fleet. From this we can clearly see that Martok was not a
+
−
politician or bureaucrat, but more of a “hands-on”

type of commander, active amongst his troops,
+

not happy to be trapped in an office, nevertheless prone to self-doubt.<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

As Alexander grew older, he became even more resentful of Worf choosing to have him live with his grandparents, rather than his father on board the Enterprise.  His disenchantment ultimately led Alexander to finally embrace the Klingon ways and at approximately 24 years of age, enlisted in the Klingon Defense Force, at the height of the Dominion War, and was awarded the rank of bekk.  His first ship was as a replacement officer aboard  the I.K.S.

Martok resented his elderly assistant, Darok. He often belittled him for being elderly, in stead of
+
Worf and Alexander <br><br>
−
having died with honor. Darok, in turn, had befriended Kor, because he reminded him of a “Qo'nos
+
<br></div>
−
that once was”. Perhaps this was another motive for Martok's resentment of Darok, because he still
+
−
resented Kor for having declined his first application to the Klingon defense force at the outset of
+
−
his career.
+
−
Martok showed fierce loyalty, heroism, and incorruptibility, even in the face of treachery and
+
−
adversity. When chancellor Gowron embarked on a program to discredit Martok as a military leader,
+
−
he refused to betray his loyalty to Gowron, despite the latter's treachery. When Worf later killed
+
−
Gowron in battle and became chancellor, he abdicated in favor of Martok. Initially, Martok refused
+
−
the position, expressing his belief that the High Council would not accept him as chancellor, for
+
−
being a common man from the lowlands. Clearly he was not aware of the impact the reverence his
+
−
troops had for him would have in terms of compelling the council to accept his appointment as
+
−
chancellor.
+
−
Despite all of his “human” traits, Martok was still by all rights a traditional Klingon. He viewed
+
−
marriage in a rather cynical fashion, describing it as “just another form of combat”, and although he
+
−
had clearly become disillusioned with his marriage and the woman he was married to, he loved
+
−
Lady Sirella deeply. Sirella, together with two of his daughters, Shen and Lazhna, were all killed in

<b>Conclusion</b><br>
+
−
Martok was a complex man. He could even be considered a contradiction in himself. He could be surprisingly compassionate at times, yet brutally cruel at other times. In one incident he appointed Worf as first officer on a dangerous mission to Monac IV in early 2375, so that Worf could earn entry into Stovokor for his Jadzia, who had recently passed away. In yet another incident he had Kaybok of the IKS M'Char executed in 2372 for merely disobeying orders. But he was also an excellent judge of character, caring deeply about those under his command.<br></div>

ALEXANDER, THE BOY:
Alexander was born on the 43rd day of Mak’tag, in the Earth Year 2359, to Worf and K’Ehleyr. His mother was killed when he was approximately eight years old and that image never left him. It was the first time the youngster had seen death and he lived with the image of his father mourning over his mother’s body. Worf had a hard time adjusting to the presence of his son and found it difficult to balance a family life and his duties aboard the Enterprise, while having to care for such an unruly and very un-Klingon like youngster. He was not emotionally prepared to take care of Alexander and his rebellious spirit, so Worf sent him to be raised by his foster parents, Sergey and Helena Rozhenko.

When Alexander was approximately ten years old, his foster grandmother returned him to Worf’s custody. He was becoming difficult for the older couple to control, and Alexander had developed behavior problems which the Rozhenko’s believed only his father, as a Klingon, would be able manage and change. Aboard the Enterprise, Alexander continued his disruptive ways, bullying his fellow students and lying to his teacher and his father. Worf was distressed that his wife had not chosen to teach young Alexander the Ways of the Warrior before her death. Worf finally sought help, and got it through Deanna Troi, who became very much attached to Alexander, as did Alexander to her. So much so, that she became his guardian in the event of Worf’s death.

His adolescence remained difficult for both he and his father. Alexander made it continually clear that he was not interested in becoming a Klingon Warrior. That was made abundantly clear when Worf would take him to the Holodeck and try to instruct him on the ways of the Bat’Leth other Klingon traditions. Worf seriously considered sending Alexander to a Klingon school, hoping that an environment of strict Klingon discipline would straighten the boy out. But ultimately decided against it, because he didn’t want to lose the love of his son. Alexander, too, even with his rebellious attitude, did not want to be sent away and leave his father. Worf offered him a challenge to remain on board the Enterprise with him and they would work and grow together. Alexander accepted this challenge.

In 2372, when Worf was transferred from the Enterprise to DS9, Alexander returned to live with his grandparents. Even with the pact they had made, Worf and Alexander’s relationship over those years had not changed and they were constantly battling over their many opposing principles.
