Rene Auberjonois in Night Gallery’s “Camera Obscura”
Colonel West: Starfleet officer, officially working in Fleet Operations’ Specials Ops division. Part of the scret cabal of Starfleet Officers, Romulans and Klingons working to keep tensions high between the major powers. Briefed the Federation President on Operation Retrieve, a rescue mission aimed at taking the captured Captain Kirk and McCoy off Rura Penthe. The President declined to pursue this operation for fear of risking a full scale war with the Klingons. At Camp Kithomer, West had disguised himself as a Klingon and was ready to assassinate the Federation President hoping to spark that war. He was thwarted when Captain Scott burst into his perch and shot him. He fell to his death and his human visage was revealed. Later accounts would redact West’s involvement in the assassination attempt.
Colonel West Appeared in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, the Director’s Cut only. The director’s cut has only been released on VHS and DVD. Operation Retrieve is omitted from the standard as is the reveal that the Klingon Assassin is West. West was played by DS9 regular Rene Auberjonois.

You do have a certain flair for sarcasm. It’s one of the things I like about you.
