The Albino The Albino was an infamous criminal who launched numerous raids against Klingon colonies in the late 23rd century . Personal History . In 2290 , three Klingon battle cruiser s , commanded by Kor , Koloth , and Kang , were dispatched to apprehend the Albino . The raid was successful in breaking up most of the Albino ' s power base , but they failed to capture the Albino himself . In a last message to the Klingons , he promised revenge upon the firstborn sons of each of the captains . A few years later , the Albino infected each of the three captains ' firstborn sons with a genetic virus that slowly killed the children . The three fathers , plus Curzon Dax , the godfather and namesake of Kang ' s son , swore a blood oath to track down and kill the Albino in revenge . Kang nearly tracked him down on Galdonterre , but the Albino was warned that they were coming and escaped in time . As a result , the Albino went into hiding , finally establishing a compound on Secarus IV in 2345 . The Albino was finally tracked down again in 2370 , when Kang learned of his location from one of his discarded wives . When Kang went to scout out the location , the Albino contacted him and offered a glorious battle – forty of the Albino ' s best warriors against his four pursuers . Kang accepted , however , the Albino instead booby - trapped the threshold of the compound with a gravitic mine . Confident in his security , he stayed in the compound and waited . Instead , Kang , Kor , Koloth , and Jadzia Dax ( the then - current host of the ) launched their own sneak attack against the Albino ' s compound . Dax bombarded the Albino ' s compound with tetryon particles , rendering the energy weapons of the Albino ' s soldiers useless . This allowed the four comrades to fight their way , hand - to - hand , into the Albino ' s headquarters . Kang himself landed the killing blow on the Albino , although both he and Koloth were mortally wounded in the battle . ( ) Memorable quotes . " " The Trill . Of course . You ' re far too young and lovely to sport such a deadly weapon . All right , then , use it if that ' s what you came to do . Kill me in cold blood . Run me through the belly and cut out my heart . . . isn ' t that what your blood oath promised ? Or have you lost your appetite , my dear ? " " - Upon being confronted by Jadzia Dax Appendices . Background information . The Albino was played by Bill Bolender . Based on his appearance , the Albino " may " have been a Klingon , but this is only speculation and it should be noted that he called Klingons " filth " and " scum . " The script described him as " an all - white humanoid in good physical shape for a man of a hundred . " Apocrypha . " Forged in Fire " gives his name as . The comic " Remembrance " features the Albino ' s granddaughter seeking revenge for his death . The Albino appears in Michael A . Martin and Andy Mangels ' novel " Forged in Fire " , which tells the story of his piracy and later his revenge on Kang , Kor , and Koloth . The book confirms that he is indeed Klingon – a cousin of Kor – who was born an albino after his mother attempted to genetically alter him in the womb so he would cure his bloodline of the augment virus . His mother sends him to be killed as an infant , but he is found by a pair of Orion pirates , who raise him in their trade . The book gives his name as Qagh , which is Klingon for " mistake . " This would explain his dislike of fellow Klingons . The virus - which he actually gave to the Klingons themselves and they passed to the children - was also given to Sulu , who had assisted the Klingons in the hunt for Albino , in hopes that it would kill his daughter , but because a key component came from Omega IV , a planet Sulu had visited and become resistant to its adverse effects , it did not take on him . The virus also afflicted Curzon Dax , but he expressed no real concern about it , explaining to Sulu that he would retain a form of immortality thanks to his symbiont , clarifying that Dax had never contracted the virus in the first place as it was incompatible with the symbiont and would thus not pass the virus on to future hosts . Sulu notably rejected the offer to aid in the Klingon blood oath as he felt that it would be a mistake to focus so much of their lives on revenge against one man , although he nevertheless agreed to keep silent about the events that had taken place and allow the other four to proceed as they saw fit .
