History and specifics[]
In the mid-2240s Kodos took over as governor of the Federation colony on Tarsus IV after engineering a vote of no confidence in Governor Gisela Ribeiro. When a fungal plague threatened the colony's food supply in October 2246, Kodos ordered the execution of half of the colony's population (4,000 people). Shortly after, aid started to reach the planet and Kodos' charred corpse was discovered, although it was later revealed that Kodos escaped and assumed the identity of Anton Karidian.
