Editing Martok (section)

===Personal life===
Martok is the son of Urthog, and is an only child. He grew up in the Ketha province on Qo'noS. Urthog did not live to see his son become an officer; Martok holds a grudge against Kor for robbing his father of that honour.

Martok is married to Sirella, a noble woman. They have one son, Drex ("[[You Are Cordially Invited]]", "[[The Way of the Warrior (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)|The Way of the Warrior]]") Martok views marriage as another form of combat, albeit one disguised and more subtle than most ("[[The Changing Face of Evil]]").

After Worf joined Martok's house, Worf's son Alexander would be inducted into the house as well, as would [[Jadzia Dax]] upon her marriage Worf (the marriage was initially opposed by Sirella). After Jadzia's death, Martok would come to regard Dax's new host [[Ezri Dax|Ezri]] as a worthy successor to Jadzia and would consider her part of his house as well.

Martok's first appearances on ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'' (in "[[The Way of the Warrior (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine)|The Way of the Warrior, Parts I and II]]" and "[[Apocalypse Rising]]") were actually the Changeling infiltrator posing as Martok. The real Martok did not appear onscreen until "[[In Purgatory's Shadow]]".

The [[Mirror Universe]] version of Martok has only appeared in the novels. Unlike the regular Martok, who is an honorable and caring commander, the MU version is foul-mouthed, slovenly and cruel. He is eventually killed by the mirror counterpart of Klag, who assumes Martok's role as Regent of the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance.
