Kor

Kor was a Klingon Dahar Master. He was among the most influential military figures of the Klingon Empire. He briefly held governorship of Organia. (TOS: "Errand of Mercy")

Kor captured Captain James T. Kirk in order in order to find the location of the planet Gateway. Kor hoped to use the Guardian of Forever to prevent war with the Federation using time travel. Kor believed the Federation was going to use similar methods to destroy the Klingon Empire. When Kirk accused Kor of cheating and therefore engaging in dishonorable behavior, Kor claimed that it was defeat that was truly dishonorable. Despite thinking Kirk was less resilient than Commander Spock, Kor had to use a mind sifter to extract the relevant information. Kor had to repeat the same process to get Kirk to show him how to use the Guardian to access Earth's past. However, Kor was unable to prevent Kirk escaping him through the Guardian. (Star Trek: Phase II:"Mind-Sifter")

At one point, Kor had another encounter with Captain James T. Kirk in an attempt to test the Organian Peace Treaty. (Deguello)

In 2269, he led one of two divisions during the Battle of Caleb IV. It was his first command as a flag officer. (DS9: "Once More Unto the Breach")

In 2271, he was made commander of all Klingon forces in the Briar Patch and, with that command, he achieved the rank of lieutenant general. He led the Klingon Defense Force to victory over the Romulans in the Battle of Klach D'Kel Brakt. During his assignment in Klach D'Kel Brakt, his flagship was the IKS Klothos. It was there that Kor gained the title of Dahar Master. (DS9: "Blood Oath", Star Trek: False Vacuum: "Black Tornado", Star Trek Online: The Battle of Klach D'kel Brakt)
