Gorkon is the Chancellor of the Klingon High Council featured in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, remembered as the visionary Klingon leader who sought to end generations of hostility with the United Federation of Planets. Following the catastrophic destruction of the Klingon moon Praxis, he opened peace negotiations through Captain Spock, setting the stage for a historic alliance.
Traveling aboard his flagship Kronos One to meet with Captain Kirk and the USS Enterprise, Gorkon was assassinated as part of a conspiracy that reached into his own staff, dying just before the Khitomer Conference. His daughter Azetbur succeeded him and carried his ideals forward, and the exposure of the plot ultimately allowed the Khitomer Accords to normalize relations between the two powers.
