Kor (Star Trek)

Dahar Master Kor, son of Rynar, was a Klingon military officer and ambassador in the 23rd and 24th centuries. He was recognised as one of the most influential and respected warriors in the Klingon Empire. His rivalry with Captain James T. Kirk of the United Federation of Planets became legendary, alongside military victories in the Federation-Klingon War of 2267. Subsequently, he achieved mythical status from victories alongside Kang and Koloth.
In 2370, Kor reunited with Kang and Koloth, along with Trill Jadzia Dax, and killed the Albino and his forces in revenge for the deaths of their firstborn sons. While serving as ambassador to Vulcan, Kor discovered a lead on the location of the legendary Sword of Kahless. Alongside Dax and Worf, son of Mogh, he located the legendary first bat'leth on an uncharted planet.
By 2375, Kor had begun to suffer from memory loss. After meeting with Worf, Kor was granted an officer's role on board the IKS Ch'Tang, despite the wishes of General Martok. During the Raid of Trelka V Starbase, Kor's memory loss briefly took hold, nearly causing disaster. Kor was removed from active duty. After a fleet of Jem'Hadar ships began pursuing the Klingon vessels, Kor rendered Worf unconscious long enough to transfer to the IKS Ning'tao, where he used his decades of combat experience to hold off the Jem'Hadar ships long enough to allow the Ch'Tang to return to allied territory.
