T'Kuvma is a 23rd-century Klingon warrior and the primary antagonist of the first season of Star Trek: Discovery. A traditionalist and Klingon nationalist devoted to the teachings of Kahless, he regarded the expanding United Federation of Planets as a threat to Klingon identity and sought to unify the feuding Great Houses against it.
Rebuilding his father's ship, the Sarcophagus, and acquiring the Beacon of Kahless, T'Kuvma provoked the Battle of the Binary Stars in 2256, where he was killed by Michael Burnham. Proclaimed "the Unforgettable" by his disciples Voq and L'Rell, his death helped ignite the Federation-Klingon War. This overview summarizes source material; see the Timeline for chronology.
