    Did we ever get an explanation of how he survived the assassination attempt in 'The Temporal Front'?
    The same way players survive absolutely everything.

    He respawned. :D

    Or I suppose someone could've wave a tricorder at his corpse when we weren't looking.

    Maybe not the main target but if you are going to poison someone, you don't just give them a very bad stomach ache.

    Maybe the Na'kuhl should have conferred with Kim Jong-un before the Mission.

    it could be they vastly underestimated a klingon's constitution and didn't use a strong enough dose of poison

    it might not have been j'mpok either, but a double; someone pointed out that there were differences in the character model from what everyone was used to back when that mission first came out​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    Well, maybe he has an iron constitution, would he be the Klingon Iron Chancellor.

    Otto von J'mpock. :)

    Lets count his glorious victories.

    1. made the Orions. Gorn, Nausicaans, and Ferasans (possibly the Letheans) into vassel states, vastly increasing the size of the Empires armies, fleets, worlds, technology, etc... In the process, serious made the Empire vaster.

    2. Likely took some extra territory from the Romulans as well.

    3. Sort of victorious in their war with the federation in the sense of helping to free it of Undine Influence.

    4. Won a series of proxi wars with the Iconians, both servitor races like the Elachi, Vaudwaar, Heralds, and manipulates powers like the Undine, Voth, Federation, Gorn, ect..., and ultimately gain peace with the Iconians in a war the Empire should never have won.

    5. Shares the two Dyson Spheres with the alliance powers.

    6. Defeated the Borg, Tholians, Feklri.

    7. Increased relations with Gamma Quadrant Worlds

    8. Helped create the Alliance

    9. Has presided over the greatest advancement of Star Ship technology in recent memory

    10. Gained technology from the future.

    11. Defeated the Sphere builders and their allies, including the Terran Empire.

    1. May be correct although IIRC only the Gorn were actually conquered, the rest paid to work for them
    2. Is your own guesswork
    3-11. Is all the stuff the Player Character did

    This all falls under J'mpok's watch as Chancellor. We as players are nothing more but trigger men to make these things happen. The accomplishments still fall under the leader's watch. For the same way IRL national leaders are revered for successful events, wars etc. even though they were not the ones drawing up the plans and pulling the trigger themselves.

    And it wasn't J'mpok that was poisoned at the conference. There are tons and tons of KDF NPCs that look like that.

    Except 85% of the time, it isn't even a KDF player character doing that. o:)

    Doesn't matter. It is all under J'mpok's watch as Chancellor of the Klingon Empire. People hold up historical leaders up for their accomplishments all the time, despite them not doing the actual military planning and most definitely not the one facing the enemy in battle.
