Legendary Klingon warrior. In 2267, Kor was the military governor of the planet Organia during a border dispute with the Federation.

Kor, Worf, and Dax actually found the Sword of Kahless on the Hur’q planet. Fearing that the sword would only serve to divide the empire, they decided not to reveal the fact that it had been found.
