Brigadier Kerla was a 23rd century Klingon, in service to the Klingon Empire as a Klingon Defense Force flag officer who was a supporter of General Chang, and military adviser to the Klingon High Council in the early 2290s decade.
Biography[]
He was appointed to the position shortly after the Klingon Civil War of the year 2292, and Chang was instrumental in appointing Kerla over Chancellor Gorkon's preferred candidate, Torlek. (TOS video game: Klingon Academy)
Through his position, Kerla became acquainted with Gorkon's daughter Azetbur, and began a relationship with her. (TOS novel: The Undiscovered Country)
In 2293, Kerla accompanied Gorkon, Azetbur and Chang to a diplomatic meeting with James T. Kirk and Spock. During a dinner shortly after the initial meeting, Kerla made clear his opposition to the idea of peace with the Federation. Following Gorkon's assassination, Kerla retained his position under Azetbur, and along with Chang tried to push for outright war with the Federation. Azetbur resisted however, and continued with the peace talks. Kerla accompanied her to the peace talks at Camp Khitomer.
