Species?[]

Is it just me or does The Albino actually look more Tellarite than Klingon? --The Rev 16:09, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

He is never referred to as a Klingon in the episode or script. I for one do not believe him to be one. --OuroborosCobra 07:56, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
For all we know, he could be a Tellarite-Klingon hybrid.24.210.145.28 07:45, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
He looks like a Xindi-Arboreal to me. 81.106.143.188 13:36, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Klingon?[]

I'm pretty sure The Albino was Klingon. --Bp 00:14, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

But was it stated explicitly on-screen? Non-canon! The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.53.9.2 (talk).
Ignorance does not equal non-canon. Was it stated on screen that Cal Hudson was a human? No... --Alan del Beccio 00:34, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
The fact that he doesn't even look all that much like a Klingon that is ablino does make a difference, though. Hudson actually looks human, acts human, and has a Human name. The Albino does not have a Klingon sounding name that we know, does not resemble all that much a Klingon without pigment, and doesn't act all that Klingon. I' add that the article on The Albino does not call him a Klingon, and the talk page discusses that he does not even necessarily look Klingon. --OuroborosCobra talk 01:21, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Whoa, wait a sec, when was the Albino ever confirmed to have been a Klingon? To quote the background section of The Albino's page, "Based on his appearance, the Albino might have been a Klingon, but this is only speculation, and given his apparent disdain for Klingons is unlikely. The script described him as 'an all-white humanoid in good physical shape for a man of a hundred'." Did anyone involved in the production ever state that it was their intention for this guy to be a Klingon? I just checked the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion and there's nothing about it in there. As far as I know, it's merely speculative to say that the Albino was, without a doubt, a Klingon. --From Andoria with Love 21:26, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
In the script of the episode, he is called "an all-white humanoid in good physical shape for a man of a hundred". --Jörg 08:35, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
I know, I have that above, lol! But I think we can all agree that calling this guy a Klingon is speculative, yes? --From Andoria with Love 09:20, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
FWIW, I agree with that, Shran. ;) -- Cid Highwind 11:02, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I need to mention that I think the Albino looks like an Arboreal of the Xindi-Species. Although I think that no writer of that episode knew or had an idea that there will ever be a species like that, not even thinking on the series "Enterprise". But it would be possible that this is a Xindi-Arboreal, isn't it? --Alan Shore -- Fragt mich! -- 21:34, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Clearly a Klingon[]

Note: Originally on PfD page for species, which was merged into this article.

The Albino is clearly an albino Klingon. The forehead make-up is well within Klingon norms. He was described as an albino Klingon in the Star Trek Concordance (1995) and it never occurred to me that someone might think he isn't a Klingon until I saw this page. StarTrek.com also calls him a Klingon, although it shows the wrong image. NetSpiker (talk) 13:10, March 11, 2015 (UTC)

That's covered in the BG. He's not "clearly" a Klingon. We can't speculate on these things, and in fact (right above here) there are 2-3 discussions on the very same. -- sulfur (talk) 13:14, March 11, 2015 (UTC)

What does BG mean? I've read the discussions above but I don't understand why those people think that he doesn't look much like a Klingon. Can you tell me what part of his make-up (besides the albinism) doesn't look like a Klingon to you? Oh, and thanks for deleting the Albino's species page. NetSpiker (talk) 13:37, March 11, 2015 (UTC)

Background. He's not clearly named as one, and he doesn't look "clearly" like a Klingon to a number of people. Thus... we don't speculate. We lay out what we know in the background. That's been done. -- sulfur (talk) 13:50, March 11, 2015 (UTC)


Voq[]

It could be that this is indeed Voq, the Klingon albino shown in Star Trek: Discovery "The Vulcan Hello" and further episodes. ----Proteus The preceding unsigned comment was added by 50.38.48.252 (talk) at 07:36, 25 September 2017‎.

Unfortunately that is speculation and a number of things make it unlikely anyway. --| TrekFan Open a channel 15:20, February 12, 2018 (UTC)
Well he may not be Voq but after watching "Point of Light", Discovery's recent episode, It could be the Albino could be the son of Voq and L'Rell. Jkirk8907 (talk) 19:57, February 3, 2019 (UTC)
Perhaps, but for now it's still speculation. JagoAndLitefoot (talk) 20:58, February 3, 2019 (UTC)
If he is indeed a Klingon, it could be indicative of a prejudice against individuals with albinism as seen in the case of the Klingon Voq.
Further, in 2257, a Section 31 ship delivered an albino baby of the Chancellor of the Klingon High Council L'Rell with Voq to the planet to keep the child a secret from the Chancellor's enemies in the High Council. However, following an attempt on the child's life, she publicly proclaimed the child had been murdered, when in reality, she secretly sent him to be raised on Boreth as a monk. (DIS: "Point of Light") While this may be a coincidence, it is possible this child grew up to be the Albino.
I've removed all references that speculate a relationship between this character and Voq or Voq, Jr. --Alan (talk) 22:19, April 3, 2019 (UTC)
