The Klingonswere a humanoid warrior species that originated from the planet Qo'noS, an M-class planet in the Beta Quadrant.

Klingons are known for their aggressive behavior. From greetings to matings, their behavior is brutal and violent.

Klingon's life span is not specific. Based on the Star Trek media series site's timeline, they live a longer time period than humans but not as long as Vulcans.

Well, one thing for sure is that Klingons don’t want to grow old, they want to fight in the glorious battle and die as a warrior so they can go to Stovokor (the afterlife for the honored dead).

Well, it may be tough to believe it, but the Klingon language is real though the Klingons are not. Like a natural language, Klingon language can be used for communication; it is complete with vocabulary, grammar, figures of speech, names, and even slang and regional dialects.

The Klingon names on this site may be the most useful resource to help you with the naming of the character you are weaving in your mind.
