At the end of TSFS, Kirk had the Klingon prisoner taken below. Watching The Voyage Home there is no mention of him so what happened ?
"when in doubt - kill !"
Richard Crenna , First Blood
He's on display at the Vulcan Science Acadamy in a large jar.
"Oh no...they sent the wrong Spock!"
If I recall correctly, Maltz committed suicide...at least according to the movie novelizations which you are free to either take or leave.

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?
What do you think Scotty replaced the Klingon food packs with?
MMM....Deep Fried Maltz for dinner.
Kirk killed him later.
But seriously, I always figured he did "the honorable thing" and killed himself. Otherwise, the Vulcans would take him into custody, The Klingon ambassador would have demanded he be released to them, and he would have been testifying at the hearing that opened the film. Or if they refused to extradite, the Ambassador would have included it in his accusations.
Really, killing him later was probably Kirk's best option.
I guess Scotty literally meant that they were "Klingon food" packs.
"After years of fighting with reality, I am pleased to say that I have finally won out over it."
Do Klingons commit ritual suicide? I mean, clearly Maltz would consider being in Vulcan custody unacceptable, but if they prevented him from committing suicide and extradited him to the Klingons, he would find himself in a very precarious situation indeed. He'd be forced to reclaim his honor on some ludicrously dangerous mission more likely to end up killing him than anything else. Kind of like Duras had to do in Star Trek: Enterprise (and we know how well that worked out for him).
shareProbably he was left on Vulcan as a prisoner, and sent back to the Klingon Empire.
After all, how else would the Klingons have known about what happened at Genesis and gotten that footage at the Trial?

Kirk transmitted a report. that's why his face was part of the film they showed.
"After years of fighting with reality, I am pleased to say that I have finally won out over it."
Kor tried to tell Kirk that Klingons were always under surveillance. How else di Klingon Ambassador Enright get the tape?
"Oh no...they sent the wrong Spock!"
The suicide theory may be about right. He did seem okay with being killed by Kirk, which was not granted.
It would've been interesting had he been brought back, and was part of the team going back in time.

Kirk not killing him destroyed his honor. Surely, there's no honor in suicide. It would have to wrapped in a ritual at least. That's just how Klingons roll.
shareThe Klingon's name was really Reinhold. He escaped in 20th-century Earth and went to New York to become a prosecutor in one of their night courts. Called himself "Dan" Fielding or something.
shareThat would explain the runaway sex drive, but what about the accordion?

And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
At the beginning of the movie they state they've been on Vulcan for 3 months, I'm sure he was offloaded and sent back to the Empire. That's how the Klingon ambassador would've learned so much from what happened on Genesis, Maltz was the only Klingon eyewitness and he did watch the Genesis video with Kruge. They would've used everything he told them against the Federation and Kirk.
shareYeah, that's how I figured it. Or they dropped him off at some other world before hand before heading to Vulcan.
Klingons were never "honorable", much less commit suicide.
John Larroquett, Maltz (Klingon Name) was actually named and used in a couple of ST-books. Please see the following and enjoy my friends;
As a young man, Maltz became an officer in the Klingon Defense Force. In the year 2273 he was the second officer of the IKS Ghargh during its mission to Cragon V. (TOS novel: Home is the Hunter)
In 2285, he was serving on board Commander Kruge's bird-of-prey. When the ship was taken by then-Admiral James T. Kirk, Maltz was taken prisoner. (TOS movie, novelization & comic adaptation: Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
It was believed after the incident that Maltz had committed suicide. (TOS - Duty, Honor, Redemption novelization: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)
However, Maltz had survived as a prisoner of the Federation. During his imprisonment, Maltz assisted Federation linguists in learning even more about the Klingon language. (ST reference: The Klingon Dictionary)
In 2287, Maltz testified at the trial of Captain Kirk. (TOS comic: "Trial and Error!")
Maltz eventually returned to the Klingon Empire. For many years he struggled with the shame of being defeated by Admiral Kirk. In 2376 when the Genesis Wave was propelled through the Alpha Quadrant, Maltz emerged to help track the wave to its source, joining a Klingon-Federation crew where he served as first officer to Doctor Leah Brahms, who had impressed him with her courage while attempting to escape the first strike launched by the wave. Shortly before his death, he met Carol Marcus, the mother of David Marcus— who had been killed at the order of Kruge many years before. Maltz died holding Carol Marcus while the space station they were on self-destructed, ensuring that the knowledge of Genesis that Marcus had could never be used again. (TNG - The Genesis Wave novels: Book One, Book Two)
I hope this answers all the questions my fellow fans had about the good and thoughtful and MOST importantly, Honorable Klingon;c) Sincerely, Alan the II
