K'Ley

K'Ley was a Klingon man, an arbiter for the Klingon Empire in the 23rd century.

History
K'Ley was a QuchHa', a Klingon without the species' characteristic cranial ridges as a result of being a descendant of those Klingons infected by the augment virus in the mid-22nd century.

Arbiter K'Ley presided over the tribunal of Commander Kring, allowing him to be falsely convicted of treason despite testimony that supported his loyalty, and ordered Kring's execution. K'Ley believed second-hand testimony of Kring's first officer that claimed Kring had become a Federation spy, disbelieving Kring's firsthand testimony that a Human like Captain James T. Kirk could act honorably. Kring accused K'Ley of allowing his ambition for seeking a seat on the Klingon High Council as motivation for the decision.
