History

Born in Rochester Minnesota, Thomas T’okrin Sargent is the son of a human father, Richard Sargent, and a Klingon mother, L’apuja Voshtud, blending the rich cultures of both species. His father, a renowned Starfleet engineer, instilled in him a fascination with technology and space exploration, while his mother, a proud Klingon warrior, imparted the values of honor, strength, and resilience.
