Duras, son of Ja'rod

Duras, son of Ja'rod is a high-ranking Klingon warrior and political rival of Worf in Star Trek: The Next Generation. He is the son of Ja'rod, who secretly betrayed the Klingon Empire by conspiring with the Romulans during the Khitomer Massacre. To avoid civil unrest, the Klingon High Council covered up Ja'rod’s treachery and falsely blamed Mogh, Worf's father. Duras used this lie to discredit Worf and further his own political ambitions.

Duras appears in key episodes including "Sins of the Father" and "Reunion", where his manipulations and dishonor are revealed. He murders Ambassador K’Ehleyr when she uncovers the truth about his father's betrayal, prompting Worf to challenge and kill him in ritual combat. His death becomes the catalyst for the Klingon Civil War, with his powerful House later led by his sisters Lursa and B’Etor. Duras is remembered as a symbol of corruption and political ambition within the Klingon Empire.
