Gorak was a male Klingon serving the empire in the early 24th century. In 2311, he held the rank of General. He was thin, muscular, and often led his men on the front ranks. In 2310, he helped crush an uprising on Ganalda IV.

In 2311, he was considered an enemy of Azetbur and was expected to soon challenge her. Many Klingons, including Ditagh, held loyalty to Gorak. After the resolution of the Tomed Incident, Gorak indeed attempted to assasinate Azetbur, but was thwarted by one of General Kaarg's guards, Moragh. (TLE novel: Serpents Among the Ruins)
