One of my remotest ancestors, Kassiopei of Nargh, was a warrior in the historic Gal'torpu Wars, in which different tribes, joined in feuds, fought for expansion. Colonel of the Nargh tribes, he helped to defend and expand the territories for the Nargh'Gosh feud. In one of those tortuous battles, the historic legend tells that he fought ahead of his warriors for four continuous days and nights, being then named Kassiopei, the Night Warrior. Warlords of other region feuds, after hearing of his skills with the swords, tried to convince him to fight for them, with the promise of lands and richness, but he stood with the feud he belonged to, until he made himself enough to settle down and create his own tribe in the near-by region of Kao'Sor... As far as it is known, this is the ancient reference to the foundation of the House of Kao, whose ancient shield plus emblem name - used mainly in traditional and/or formal ceremonies - is shown here.

Back to present, there are many sub-representatives of our line, but my family is ahead of them all. Until recently my father, Rodak Edatai Kao, was the head of our family. He was a General, very close to Chancellor Gorkon, the late Council Leader of the Empire who began the peace process with the Federation of Planets. Not exactly a sympathizer of the peace with the Humans, he was wise enough to know it was the natural way of the future unfold, otherwise it would mean a final war and the destruction of both potencies. Unfortunately or not, he joined Kahless in Sto-Vo-Kor, due old age and complications of old battle wounds, about three years before seeing Alliance with the Federation, established by Gorkon's daughter and successor, Azetbur, after the events in Khitomer. My father never feared a challenge and was a warrior of great honor. He always faced his enemies with wide eyes and raised head, and fought bravely until his sudden death. Early in his life he was a soldier and a kinesiologist for the Armed Forces, where he began to develop his skills as a natural born healer-warrior. For thirty some years he passed for many different groups of task forces as his fame kept growing. Then, he finally established himself as an independent Warlord for the Empire and founded his own task force named Imperial Force Edatai Kao. Late in his life he was invited to be vice-leader of an old society of warriors known as the Gon Dohlers Strike Force and served there for eight years, first beside Leader Klaver Kamarg and then beside Leader Luso Salger.

My honored father, Rodak Edatai Kao, a warrior with a heart.
