Chancellor Gorkon

Chancellor Gorkon was head of the Klingon High Council in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country which was a point of great crisis for the Klingon Empire. The moon Praxis exploded, causing great environmental damage to the Klingon capital world Qo'noS, depleting its ozone layer. According to official reports, the planet would soon be completely uninhabitable.

Because of the catastrophe, Gorkon sought help from the Federation for evacuation of Qo'noS and peace talks. The Enterprise was dispatched to rendezvous with Gorkon's ship, IKS Kronos One.
