John Halvorson was the original founder of the Klingon Strike Force. After starting the KSF, John's personal life changed and he decided to move on from the KSF. A number of years later he was asked to come back to the club and become it's leader again. By that time the KSF had changed from John's original vision and had become a role-playing (mostly play-by-mail) group instead of a costuming group. Because of this John decided to found a new club, the Klingon Assault Group, that focused once again on public Klingon cosplay.
After creating KAG in his kitchen, Halvorson, along with some fellow Klingons, "invaded" the main stage of the Starbase Indy convention in the fall of 1989 and announced the creation of KAG. Klingons from around the world quickly flocked to his banner, and KAG rapidly grew into the world's largest Klingon fan club. KAG continued to grow and expand.
John Halvorson passed away on the 26th March 2020.
