Ma'ah

Ma'ah is a character introduced into Star Trek: Lower Decks.
==Biography==
Ma'ah is a Klingon warrior who served aboard a Klingon Bird of Prey, the IKS Che'Ta' in the 24th Century. In 2381, Ma'ah dreamed of wanting to be promoted to captain someday, although he was sadly made fun of and mistreated and greatly misunderstood by the other Klingons serving aboard who often saw him as small and weak. 
He became very interested in gaining captain Dorg's favor, to which his captain gave him chores as well as allowing him to look after and take care of his pet Targ, which became very fond of Ma'ah. Eventually Ma'ah finally got his chance to become a replacement first officer by captain Dorg [after the latter killed his former first officer], who was secretly aiding and helping the Pakleds, by giving them Klingon weaponry in order to provoke a war. Ma'ah quickly saw captain Dorg's actions as dishonorable even when Klingons do not allow others to fight their battles for them and his support was slowly diminishing. During the meeting with the Pakleds at the rendezvous in System 7743.8, the Pakleds wanted another bomb, which emitted a traceable energy pattern. This deeply concerned Ma'ah who warned his captain that other starships might come to investigate.
Ma'ah was correct in his statement, when the California-class USS Cerittos arrived in the system. During the ensuing battle Ma'ah watched as his ship and the Pakled warship begun their merciless combined attack on the USS Cerittos and would have destroyed the starfleet ship, had not a nearby Vulcan cruiser [also investigating the source of the traceable energy pattern from the bomb] arrived and quickly joined the battle against the Klingons and Pakleds. Ma'ah finally took action and demanded that his ship's weapons officer stop firing on the USS Cerittos, which enraged captain Dorg. Ma'ah challenged Dorg and the two quickly engaged in a duel to the death. Ma'ah at first was no match for Dorg, due to his opponeet being bigger and stronger than him. Dorg would have killed Ma'ah, had not his Dorg's own pet Targ, bit Dorg in the arm, to which Dorg angrily threw his Targ aside. Ma'ah then tackle Dorg, only for Dorg to overpower and threw him aside. When Dorg approache Ma'ah's supposedly lifeless body intent on finishing him off, Ma'ah immediately grabbed Dorg's sword and fatally stabbed Dorg right through the chest, ending the traitor's life. Ma'ah was then nominated captain by the rest of the crew, who quickly rallied behind and asked him for his orders. Ma'ah then assume command of his former commander's cahir and ordered the IKS Che'Ta' to set a course for the Klingon homeworld in order to report Dorg's cowardly actions to the Klingon High Council, who were completely unaware of Dorg's own actions. 
==Appearance and Personality==
Ma'ah is a somewhat short teenage Klingon in height, but he is still tall and menacing to his opponents. As for his personality traits: Ma'ah is a true Klingon. And unlike most typical Klingons, Ma'ah is wise, highly intelligent, usually calm (unless angered), reasonable, and honorable. 
==Abilities==
Ma'ah is skilled in hand to hand combat, despite his height stature, and being described as weaker compared to most Klingons. But his intelligence and cunning as well as Dorg's pet Targ intervening were what let to him ultimately rebelling against his former captain Dorg, and ended up slaying him, despite Dorg at first being bigger and stronger than him. Later when he encounters and fights Mariner on Sherbal V while marooned, the two were evenly matched in terms of fighting skills.
