History
Pre-Starfleet
Lanista's father is QolloH, son of DI'al. He is a privateer Captain of the K'Vort-Class Bird of Prey on which Lanista was born. The House of DI’al is not one of the Klingon Great Houses. As such, Lanista’s family have served as privateers to other Houses. Some of the tasks were, however, demeaning in Lanista’s opinion. There is little honor is running errands. During Lanista’s life about the Bird of Prey, she assisted her father in suppressing one brief mutinous uprising. In a human crew, where honor was not so prized, mutiny was possible, Lanista’s father had told her. When Lanista joined Starfleet, QolloH told her to watch her back. Lanista possesses a KDF Captain's rank insignia, given to her by her father. Her mother is Ti'amah. She was a V'tosh ka'tur -- a Vulcan who rejects the teachings of Surak. She chose this road after failing the Kolinahr. Ti’amah perished during one to the demeaning tasks performed in the service of the KDF. The mission was something QolloH described as 'yet another pointless chore.'
Having a privateer as a father, Lanista began as one herself. She has, however, turned her back on dishonorable endeavor. Like her mother, Lanista tried and failed to achieve Kolinahr. Lanista possesses her mother's Kolinahr aspirant necklace.

Skills
Lanista's physical strength is augmented, owing to her heritage. However, her psychic potential is lacking. She is almost a psychic null, actually sometimes suppressing psionic-like activity near her. She is very adept at jury-rigged engineering devices and tools, due to her life aboard a privateer vessel.
