K'JoQ (pronounced Kay-Jock) was a member of the Cha'ouw Empire who has acted as the House Protector of the Special Imperial House K'HIg'Den and holds the rank of Captain in Starfleet and the rank of Brigadier in the Cha'ouwian Imperial Star Fleet. K'JoQ was 'adopted' into the house through imperial decree and his loyalty to Admiral Jeffery Higdon is unquestioned as the Emperor, in a rare move, released him from all fidelity to the empire to insure the safety of the Starfleet Admiral.
