Changes: Kov

Revision as of 16:06, 22 December 2015

Kov was a Vulcan V'tosh ka'tur that served as an engineer aboard the Vahklas, a Vulcan civilian transport ship.

He and his father had a falling out, and did not communicate for about ten years, eight of which he spent on the Vahklas. During this time, his father was diagnosed with a terminal illness.

In 2151, he was sent to the Enterprise NX-01 to work with their engineers. During his time there, he and Commander Charles Tucker III, the chief engineer, became friends. Kov had many misconceptions about Humans, such as their sleeping and mating practices. When the Vulcan High Command learned that the Enterprise was in contact with the Vahklas crewmember, they informed Enterprise's captain Jonathan Archer of Kov's father's illness. Archer was unable to convince Kov to call home, and so the captain gave the task to Tucker. Kov stated that he and his father had ended their relationship years before, when his father told him that he was a disgrace to their family.

Recalling a dance when he was younger during which he never worked up the courage to dance with the girl he had a crush on, Commander Tucker persuaded Kov to contact his father one last time, telling Kov that regret was a difficult emotion to cope with. As a result, Kov learned that his father was going to undergo surgery that would prolong his life. (ENT: "Fusion")

In the final draft script of "Fusion", Kov is described as "more 'full bodied' than the average Vulcan."

Actor Kelly Connell was initially cast to portray Kov but was unable to fulfill this part. ("Fusion" call sheet) Actor Matt Malloy also auditioned for the part, and the role was offered to him, too, though he couldn't commit himself to accepting it since the production period for "Fusion" conflicted with a movie he was doing. (Star Trek: The Magazine Volume 3, Issue 3, p. 28) Ultimately, Kov was played by actor John Harrington Bland.
