Page "Martok" Paragraph 7

Shortly before the end of the war (" When It Rains ..."), Gowron comes to Deep Space Nine to honor Martok by inducting him into the Order of Kahless, and then announces that he would be taking control of the Klingon forces from Martok because it was time for him to " take a more active role in the war ".

However, it becomes clear that Gowron is simply worried about Martok getting too powerful politically, and intends to lower Martok's standing by sending him into battles that he cannot win.

Worf tries to convince Martok to challenge Gowron, but he refuses.

Worf then kills Gowron himself, and rather than accept the title of Chancellor, gives it to Martok (" Tacking Into the Wind ").
