Interestingly, this is the third {Qel} Krell we've heard of:

   Krell (PN) [Klingon officer advising the village people on the
   manufacture of primitive flintlocks in their conflict with the
   hill people (led by Kirk's old friend Tyree) on the planet
   Neural (Zeta Bootis III) (TOS "A Private Little War")]

   Krell (PN) [Fleet Admiral Krell threatened to wipe out the Qu'Vat
   Colony after Dr Antaak's experimentation with Klingon Augments at
   the genetic research facility there produced a highly contagious
   fatal plague. (ENT "Affliction" & "Divergence")]

We know Klingon names are reused within houses (Worf was apparently named 
after his grandfather, General Worf (another general!) whom we saw in ST6 
defending Kirk at his murder trial, so it's possible that the ENTERPRISE 
Krell may be the father of the TOS Krell.  I wonder if the ST5 Krell could 
be the Krell we saw in TOS?  (Does anyone remember if that Krell was killed 
in the episode?  If not, his service on Neural - assuming the village 
people won the war - could have been his first big step up the chain of 
command.)

Thanks for looking these up.  I knew that all I had to do was ask and 
someone would know.
