B'Elanna Torres encountered him on the
Barge of the Dead during a near death experience. Kortar
called her a mongrel child and recalled all the times she
almost got onto the barge of the dead before. When her
mother Miral appears on the barge, he told Torres that her
dishonor had condemned her mother.
Kortar encountered Torres again after she had The Doctor
induce another near death experience in order to save her
mother. She offered to take her mother's dishonor onto
herself but Kortar knew of the plan to reawaken her. After
Torres stated that she would die, Kortar sent her mother to
Sto-vo-kor and took Torres to Gre'thor. |

When B'Elanna lapsed into a coma after her
shuttle was hit by an ion storm in 2376, she found herself
on the Barge of the Dead on her way to Gre'thor (the Klingon
version of Hell). During the trip another dishonored soul
appeared to her: her mother, Miral, who, according to
Klingon religious beliefs, had to pay for the sins of her
daughter. When B'Elanna awoke, she was determined to save
her mother. She convinced Kathryn Janeway to let the The
Doctor put her back into a near death coma.
B'Elanna arrived again on the Barge and tried to perform a
ritual that would send Miral to Sto-vo-kor. It failed and
B'Elanna realized that the only way to save Miral was to die
for her and take her place in Gre'thor. She did this and
Miral ascended to Sto-Vo-Kor, as B'Elanna was led into
Gre'thor.
Miral then appeared to B'Elanna again, telling her that she
could be saved if B'Elanna lived with honor. Just then, the
Doctor woke B'Elanna from her coma. Before being revived,
Miral told B'Elanna that she may see her when she joined
Sto-Vo-Kor herself, or when she returned home to the Alpha
Quadrant. |
