Tenavik is a monk of the monastery of Boreth. Born in 2257, he is the son of Voq, formerly the Torchbearer to T'Kuvma, and L'Rell, Chancellor of the Klingon High Council. Delivered to Boreth as an infant, he was encountered only months later as a grown man by Captain Christopher Pike of the U.S.S. Discovery due to the influence of the time crystals in the monastery.
Missions involved[ | ]
Tenavik on Boreth in 2409.

Notes[ | ]
- Tenavik was originally supposed to be voiced by Kenneth Mitchell, the actor who portrayed him on Star Trek: Discovery. However, Mitchell was diagnosed with ALS in 2018 and his condition did not allow him to portray the role for the game. Sam Witwer, himself a long-time player of Star Trek Online, was personally chosen by Mitchell to voice Tenavik. Kenneth Mitchell coached Witwer during recording sessions.[1][2]
