Star Trek: 10 Things You Didn't Know About General Chang

8. Higher Than A Dahar Master

A Dahar Master is the title given to a Klingon Warrior who has achieved legendary status. Kang, Koloth, and Kor had all been named as Dahar Masters by the time that they arrived on Deep Space Nine to begin their campaign against the Albino. The line of Dahar Masters dates all the way back to Biroq, who was named a Dahar Master by Emperor Kaldon for his military victories.

In a bit of a behind the scenes gag, actor John Colicos, who played Kor, joked that being a Dahar Master may not have come with the reknown it used to. He appeared in three episodes of Deep Space Nine - Blood Oath, The Sword of Kahless and Once More Unto The Breach. He had requested that he be allowed to get rid of the heavy Klingon wig from his costume and was flatly denied.

Though he was part of Star Trek's legacy, he simply wasn't up to the level that Christopher Plummer had been by Star Trek VI!
