| abstract | - Koloth, son of Lasshar (died 2370) was a Klingon male who lived during the 23rd and 24th centuries. Koloth was considered to be one of the greatest Klingon warriors to have served the Klingon Empire, and was later honored with the title of Dahar Master. Two different versions of Koloth's House/Linename have been published in licensed works: In the TOS novel: Rules of Engagement it was given as Koloth vestai-Lasshar, and reflected his social status at the time of his captaincy (late 2260s); the FASA RPG module: The Dixie Gambit, set in 2223 SFC(~2285 standard timeline), names him as Koloth zantai-Rahanz. The difference in the Klingonaase honorifics "vestai" and "zantai" can be attributed to the differing timeframes (by 2370, he would certainly be referred to as "epetai"). The difference in linename was not explained, although other Klingons, like Worf or Krenn, have been taken in by lines other than their original family. It is possible that Koloth's old line was dissolved, and it is also possible that Koloth joined another line or started his own. In the short story "The Unhappy Ones", Koloth is identified as the 'son of Lasshar'.
