Antaak after the loss of his cranial ridges

Antaak was a Klingon doctor in the Imperial Fleet who specialized in mutagenic research in the 22nd century. Born into the warrior caste, his father disowned him when he became a healer.

When Antaak was a child, his pet targ, Boshar, became Antaak's first patient when it tore its side open, and Antaak stitched the wound himself.

In 2149, he disguised himself as a Mazarite and attended an Interspecies Medical Exchange conference on Tiburon. At the conference, Doctor Phlox presented a document on the subject of viral propagation.

In 2154, Antaak met Phlox when the Denobulan doctor was captured and forced to help the Klingon Empire recover from a mutagenic virus. Antaak assisted Phlox in successfully removing the deadly effects of the virus. However, the Empire - including Antaak - was forever changed when he and Phlox were unable to stop the virus's removal of Klingon cranial ridges. With his military career over, Antaak decided to go into a new profession: cranial reconstruction. (ENT: "Affliction", "Divergence")

Antaak was played by John Schuck, who is noted for also portraying the Klingon ambassador in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, as well as other roles in DS9 and VOY.

Some fans have speculated that Antaak may be the ancestor of the Klingon Ambassador since John Schuck played both characters. However, this hasn't been confirmed in canon.
