Kortar

Kortar was, in Klingon mythology, the first Klingon. With his mate, he destroyed the gods who had created them. As punishment, Kortar was condemned to ferry the souls of the dishonored on the Barge of the Dead to Gre'thor

The Klingon wedding ceremony recounts the tale of how Kortar and his mate joined together to kill the gods. That legend was also depicted on an antique bloodwine vessel Worf gave to Jean-Luc Picard in 2381. 


 * Kortar's mate goes unnamed on screen, though she is called "Lunob" in Losing the Peace.

B'Elanna Torres claimed to have encountered Kortar during a near death experience in 2376.
