Valkris (Cathie Shirriff)

Character Analysis

Valkris and Kruge, sitting in a tree, K-I-L-L-I-N-G…

This lady Klingon is not only Kruge's galpal, but the operative who steals the Genesis plans. When she uploads them to the Bird-of-Prey, she lets it slip that she snuck a peek, and Kruge decides she must be killed for this slight. Valkris doesn't try to negotiate or run away; she accepts her fate and says:

VALKRIS: Success, my lord, and my love.

Got to say, we'd be less accepting if our partners decided we needed to die because we showed an interest in their (genocidal) hobbies.
