Did anyone play Star Trek: Klingon Academy? It's not canon, but it's worth watching the in-game videos if only for Chris Plummer's reprisal of the role of General Chang.
Anyway [spoilers follow for a game released in 2000, so not really spoilers at this point]...
In the game, someone betrays you. It's supposed to be a surprise, but it was obvious who it was going to be from the beginning because the character's name was "Jaghjech". (One of the game's writes had obviously thought themselves very clever by naming the would-be traitor "enemy [in] disguise".)
