B'ator was a Klingon warrior, and a member of the House of Gorm. At some point in his life, B'ator fought in the final battle of a conflict, which he later wrote about in his memoirs, claiming to have maintained warp 8.1 for three days in a Klingon bird of prey. Data recalled the memoir and reported such to Captain Jean-Luc Picard while the USS Enterprise-D was in pursuit of the Bounty 2 while considering what its destination might be; Worf pointed out that the House of Gorm was better known for making wild claims rather than the battles they fought.
