Dul'krah, Clan Korekh

Dul'krah, Clan Korekh was the security chief of the USS Bajor in 2409. A former officer of the Ver Eshalakh, he attended Starfleet Academy in 2398.

Early Life
Dul'krah was born in 2363 in the Korekh Clanhold space habitat, growing up in a typically tight-knit Pe'khdar clan environment. At age of majority in 2379 he volunteered for service in the Clan Korekh contribution to the Ver Eshalakh, the state security agency of the Council of Clans, and for the first ten years of his service worked as a security officer on six different clan habitats in the of the Dar Klatus system.

In 2385, while serving aboard Erhakh Clanhold, Dul'krah investigated the murder of two security officers serving aboard. He eventually determined that Clan Chief Vekh'tash was involved in smuggling Pe'khdar neural disruptors to the Orion Syndicate and had killed the two officers to cover it up. Dul'krah stormed a clan council meeting and declared trakh'pash against Vekh'tash for the murders before shooting him between the eyes.

In 2389 he was assigned to the honor guard the Council posted to a diplomatic delegation from the United Federation of Planets. That meeting would be the first of several over the next eight years, at the end of which he was witness to the ritual sacrifice of fashkh herbs to honor the Federation's offer of membership to the Pe'khdar Confederation.

Late in 2397 he sired his first child with his childhood friend Tan'dret. His daughter Cho'dret would be born early the next year.

Starfleet Career
With his species admitted to the Federation, Dul'krah applied to and was accepted to Starfleet Academy on security track. Due to difficulty adapting to Federation culture he suffered repeated discipline problems, but still managed to graduate in the 83rd percentile in 2400.

Dul'krah spent the next seven years at various Starfleet installations. During a stint at Starfleet Headquarters in 2406 he sired his second child, Pen'krah, with Tol'brenth, Clan Rustra, an aide to the Pe'khdar delegation to the Federation Council.

In 2407 he was assigned as third shift security officer aboard the starship USS Earth.

In 2409 he was reassigned to the USS Bajor as security chief to Captain Kanril Eleya. Upon request to the rather laid-back Bajoran captain, he gained permission to wear his old Ver Eshalakh uniform on Starfleet duty.

Personality
Dul'krah was stern and largely humorless while on duty, but off-duty he was a boisterous, hard-drinking soul. He was very devoted to the Bajor crew, seeing them as his clan away from home.

Personal Interests
Dul'krah competently played the vodchakh, a Pe'khdar stringed instrument similar to a violin. He also enjoyed stage musicals, with the 21st century Earth play  being a particular favorite.
