62
63	* AwesomeByAnalysis: As a resurrected Starfleet science officer, she's able to discern a lot about what's going on in the Trials through simple observation and deduction.
64	* TheCavalry: [[spoiler:At the climax of "The Measure of Morality Part 2", when the Borq Queen and her armada are bearing down on the player's ship, Burnham shows up in command of a recreated U.S.S. ''Discovery'', followed by recreations of every hero starship from across the Star Trek Franchise,]]

71
72
73	! Klingons (House Mo'kai & Others)
74	[[folder: General]]
75	House Mo'Kai, sometimes called the "House of Mo'Kai," was one of the Great Houses in the Klingon Empire until its dissolvment. Its last leader was Aakan.
76	----
77	* AllThereInTheManual: Their backstory is considerably enriched if you read the lore about them on the blogs.
78	* BackFromTheBrink: Ambassador B'Vat wiped out every living member of this organization. [[spoiler:Except for Adet'pa.]] However, J'Ula brings back an army of them from the past.
79	* {{Blackmail}}: How the House maintained its vast power.
80	* BlueBlood: One of the Klingon Great Houses.
81	* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: One of their members transported away a bat'leth during a tournament. All it did was get the rules amended and give the House a bad reputation.
82	* FaceHeelTurn: Adet'pa joins their ranks after helping save Martok.
83	* FantasticRacism: All of them despise any race other than Klingons. The current Klingon Empire disgusts them with the near-equality it gives other races and its alliance with the Federation.
84	* FeudingFamilies: [[AllThereInTheManual According to Cryptic's story blog "The Ascendant"]], in the 2280s they got into a century-long blood feud with the House of B'vat that ended with B'vat, son of Warat [[ThePurge exterminating nearly every living member]] starting in 2389, after Mo'Kai's then-''joH'', Aakan, killed his son K'das.
85	* LoopholeAbuse: They're very fond of this as we see above.
86	* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Inverted. They're Klingons with no sense of honor or decency.
87	* OffscreenVillainDarkMatter: Her antiquated vessels get upgraded to 25th century standards by surviving members of her house.
88	* ThePurge: Most of House Mo'Kai was killed off by the House of B'vat in the late 24th Century, with Adet'pa being one of the few survivors. At least, until J'Ula and her allies from the 23rd Century showed up.
89	* ReplacementFlatCharacter: They pretty much replace J'mpok and B'vat as the AlwaysChaoticEvil Klingons.

91
92	[[folder: J'Ula]]
93	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/droola.jpg]]
94	->Voiced by Creator/MaraJunot
95
96	J'Ula is a Klingon matriarch of the House of Mo'Kai. She commands the I.K.S. Lukara. She is the sister of T'Kuvma.
97	----
98	* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: Up until the end of "Partisans" she seems completely unaware that hardly anybody besides Adet'pa actually ''likes'' her: mainstream Klingon society views her as little more than a terrorist, [[spoiler:Aakar pulls a {{Starscream}} on her]], and even [[spoiler:Martok and the PlayerCharacter]] have to be {{railroad\|ing}}ed into an EnemyMine. It reaches the point where when [[spoiler:J'mpok]] is exposed as having used a WeaponOfMassDestruction (that she brought to the present day to begin with) against a civilian target, [[spoiler:the other Great Houses [[ChoosingNeutrality remain neutral]], preferring to let her and J'mpok fight it out, then gang up on the winner and pick a fresh Chancellor]].
99	* AmbitionIsEvil: Wishes to exceed Kahless' wife Lukara as the greatest female Klingon of all time.
100	* BigBad: The head of House Mo'kai and the greatest threat to the Alliance since the end of the Hur'q.
101	* TheChessmaster: One of the smartest Klingons during the original war.
102	* DarkActionGirl: Combined with LadyOfWar.
103	* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler: In "Partisans", she finally finds the evidence needed to reveal that J'mpok is the monster she claimed he was. All it did was cause the High Council, T'kuvma's greatest legacy, to be dissolved as they couldn't trust ''either'' of them.]]
104	** Her Mycelial superweapon, based on stolen data from the U.S.S. ''Glenn'', has the potential to end all life across the ''entire'' multiverse by irradiating the Mycelial realm with Harg'Peng radiation. As Holo!Stamets notes, either J'Ula didn't know about that, or more likely, didn't care.
105	* EnemyMine: [[spoiler: After Aakar's betrayal in "The Khitomer Discord", she's forced into one of these with Martok and the player.]]
106	* FantasticRacism: Loathes what the galaxy has become in the 25th century due to the Federation's continued existence and the Klingon Empire's (comparatively) cosmopolitan nature.
107	* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Is thrown into the future by the spore drive.
108	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After Aakar backstabs her and turns to J'mpok's side, she's forced to team up with the player (and Martok). Ultimately becomes L'Rell's second in command, which hopefully means she'll mellow out a bit and be less bloodthirsty. Or maybe the Federation and Empire will go to war again!]]
109	* LadyOfWar: Is a brutal wartime leader and noblewoman.
110	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: She's completely broken when it turns out her plan to turn the High Council against J'mpok goes south when they decide ''both'' people weren't worth following and the Council is dissolved]]. [[spoiler:It ultimately leads to a full HeelFaceTurn on Boreth]].
111	* RebelLeader: Leads the fugitive forces of House Mo'Kai during the Klingon Civil War arc.
112	* RememberTheNewGuy: T'Kuvma's previously unmentioned sister. Not that this is anything new for ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'' or anything...
113	* YouSoundFamiliar: Mara Junot previously did the voice work for Commander Tiaru Jarok, the captain of the Romulan Republic flagship RRW ''Lleiset''.
114	* YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters: According to her, she's fighting for the spirit of Klingon culture as her brother claimed to have done. Nearly everybody else in TheAlliance, the modern Klingon Empire included, considers her little more than an ultranationalist terrorist.

117	[[folder: Aakar]]
118	[[quoteright:226:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aakar_9.png]]
119	->Voiced by Creator/RobertOReilly
120
121	A Klingon Special Forces operative in the 23rd century, and an ancestor of the late Chancellor Gowron.
122	----
123	* ActorAllusion: His taunt of choice, "Experience ''bIj''" ("punishment"), is a reference to the ''other'' other Klingon portrayed by Robert O'Reilly, namely Kavok from the 1993 ''Klingon Challenge'' board game.
124	* BadBoss: [[spoiler:Orders a gunner to fire on a civilian target rather than an orbital dock, then accuses him of doing it on purpose and [[ShootTheBuilder kills him on the spot so he can't talk]]. Ouch!]]
125	* BaldOfEvil: Unlike his merely morally ambiguous descendant Gowron, who has a full head of hair, Aakar is as evil as they come and is completely bald. This started as the standard look for the antagonistic Klingons of DSC season 1, but after he was recast as Creator/RobertOReilly he gained a BeardOfEvil as well.
126	* DiesWideOpen: [[spoiler:After you defeat him in the Great Hall on Qo'noS.]]
127	* DirtyCoward: Transports away when fights don't go his way.
128	* TheDragon: He's originally introduced as J'Ula's NumberTwo and is TheHeavy during the ''Discovery''-era Federation tutorial, acting as a TrojanPrisoner to deliver a ComputerVirus into Starfleet's computer network. [[spoiler:Though he later pulls a {{Starscream}} on her, switching sides to J'mpok.]]
129	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Played with. Before Season 20, he used to look like a more conventional Disco-style Klingon with a scarred left eye before he was retconned into being former Chancellor Gowron's grandfather.
130	* FamousAncestor: {{Inverted}}: he's the paternal grandfather of former Chancellor Gowron, who defeated the House of Duras in [[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS4E26S5E1Redemption the previous Klingon Civil War]] and then led the empire for most of ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine''.
131	* InkSuitActor: Prior to Season 20 he was a generic DSC-style Klingon with a scarred eye. Afterwards he was recast as Robert O'Reilly and had his character model remade to resemble Reilly's live-action role as Gowron.
132	* HeroKiller: Kills a number of TemporaryPartyMember characters.
133	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Transports away when the fight goes poorly for him and leaves his men to die in his place.
134	* SinsOfOurFathers: [[spoiler:His villainous and treacherous ways damned his son and grandson to Koth, the Klingon equivalent of Purgatory.]]
135	* TheStarscream: [[spoiler:He sells out his matriarch, Lady J'Ula during the Klingon Civil War, switching sides to J'mpok's faction and taking the Mycelial superweapon with him as an offering. During "Partisans" and "Knowledge is Power", he makes it clear he's planning to backstab J'mpok and become Emperor in his place.]]
136	* TheUnfettered: Aakar plays to win at all costs, and has no problem engaging in decidedly un-Klingon tactics to do so. From throwing [[WeHaveReserves wave after wave of Mo'Kai soldiers at a target as a distraction]], to using computer viruses to disable or take over enemy ships, to using blackmail and deception to advance up the ranks.
137	* UngratefulBastard: Commander Landry goes to elaborate lengths to save his life. He then leads a massive attack on her group of survivors, including her fiance.
138	* WeHaveReserves: Sends hordes of Klingon soldiers into ambushes.
139	* ZergRush: His sole strategy is to send many Klingons into suicidal attacks.

142	[[folder:Adet'pa]]
143	[[quoteright:246:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/adetpa.png]]
144	->Voiced by Creator/RekhaSharma
145
146	One of J'Ula's few hardcore loyalists, Adet'pa is a Klingon spy who first serves as first officer, then captain, of the IKS ''Kor'' under General Kurn.
147	----
148	* AscendedExtra: Adet'pa was previously a generic Klingon NPC who appeared in the ''Victory Is Life'' expansion for all of one dialogue chain in "Storm Clouds Gather". Come Season 20, she got a new character model and a {{retcon}}ned background that made her secretly a survivor of House Mo'Kai. She was such an extreme case of this that many players had no idea why their characters were supposed to remember meeting her previously.
149	* {{Expy}}: Her backstory is similar to Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Star Wars franchise. Both are the last survivors of their factions, who became enigmatic hermits on a desert world, far from civilization, eventually coming out of retirement to fight against TheEmpire.
150	* RedBaron: Known as "The Witch of Nimbus III" during her exile.
151	* SoleSurvivor: She's one of the few remaining members of House Mo'Kai in the present day after B'Vat [[ThePurge exterminated the House]].
152	* YouSoundFamiliar: Post-Season 20, she's [[InkSuitActor voiced and physically based on]] Rekha Sharma, who previously played Captain Gabriel Lorca's security chief Ellen Landry in ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'' and the game's ''Age of Discovery'' storyline.

155	[[folder:L'Rell]]
156	[[quoteright:246:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lrell.png]]
157	->Voiced by Creator/MaryChieffo
158
159	Another 23rd century Klingon and follower of T'Kuvma, and her mother was of House Mo'kai, L'Rell is long dead by the events of the game - but, using the same ritual as created Kahless II, she is brought back to life on Boreth. [[spoiler:As of ''House United'', she is the new Chancellor of the Empire.]]
160	----
161	* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: [[spoiler:Her flagship is a meticulously maintained D7-class battlecruiser that the monks of Boreth apparently had stashed in a hangar somewhere.]]
162	* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:Long ago, she struck a deal with Fek'lhr to free the soul of her beloved Voq from Gre'thor, offering up her own soul in exchange so he could go to Sto'vo'kor in her place.]]
163	* FamedInStory: Modern day Klingons know her as the "Mother of the Klingon Empire". She's often spoken of with the same reverence as T'Kuvma and Kahless.
164	* FishOutOfTemporalWater: She's been dead for a century and a half, give or take a few years.
165	* KlingonPromotion: [[spoiler:By right of combat with J'mpok.]]
166	* RescuedFromTheUnderworld: [[spoiler:L'Rell is stranded in Gre'thor, as she traded her place with that of her lover; he would get to go to Sto'vo'kor, and she would take his place in Gre'thor. J'Ula, Martok, and the player captain thus go on a spiritual quest to rescue her, with help from ''Gowron'' of all people.]]
167	* SoullessShell: [[spoiler:The ritual is successful, but the L'Rell clone/body remains in a coma until the aforementioned rescue takes place.]]
168	* YouAreInCommandNow: [[spoiler: J'Ula abdicates the throne in favor of L'Rell, in the hope of reunifying the fractured Klingon Empire after J'mpok is defeated.]]
