J.G. Hertzler: Martok

Quotes 

• Martok : You want me to become chancellor - me! Tell me, Worf, how do you think the members of the High Council will react when they're asked to follow a common man from the Ketha lowlands, a man without a drop of noble blood in his veins?

  Worf : Kahless himself was not high-born.

  Martok : Kahless was divine!

• Martok : I am a loyal soldier of the Empire. I would rather die than dishonor my uniform. By raising a hand to my chancellor in a time of war, I would bring shame to everything that I've fought to protect, everything that I believe in.

• Lt. Commander Worf : What I have done was for the Empire. A new day must dawn for our people. I am not the man to usher in that day. But there is a man here who can.

  Martok : Worf - I do not seek the leadership.

  Lt. Commander Worf : Kahless said "Great men do not seek power. They have power thrust upon them."

  [Worf hands the Chancellor's robes to Martok] 

  Lt. Commander Worf : Hail Martok, leader of the Empire - leader of destiny!
