Colonel Kamarag was the Klingon Ambassador to the United Federation of Planets in the late 23rd century.

In 2269, Kamarag was the head of the House that bore his name. At Kamarag's insistence, Kobyk, son of Goryq, a member of the House, was forced to hire his own brother, Sorkav, as security chief for the dilithium mine which Kobyk ran. Kobyk dared not disobey Kamarag (despite the brothers' mutual dislike), since Kamarag's word was law and Kamarag would certainly make life very difficult for Kobyk if he had protested. (ST - Seven Deadly Sins novella: The Unhappy Ones)

Kamarag famously argued before the Federation Council for the extradition of Federation Starfleet Admiral James T. Kirk and most of the senior officers of the USS Enterprise to the Klingon Empire after the destruction of the Genesis Planet and the development of the Genesis Device in 2286. He was opposed in this debate by Federation Ambassador-at-large Sarek of Vulcan. (TOS movie: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home; ST novel: Articles of the Federation)

The Star Trek IV Sourcebook Update FASA supplement identifies this character as Kiltarc zantai-Neygebh.

The Klingon government was highly displeased that Kirk and his crew were pardoned of all crimes, and Kamarag declared in the chambers of the Federation Council that there would be no peace as long as Kirk lived. In 2287, the government authorized Kamarag to put a price on the head of Kirk, which some members of the Council saw as "practically a declaration of war." (TOS comics: "The Return!", "The Sentence")

In late 2289 early 2290, Ambassador Kamarag was the lead Klingon representative to the to the Federation/Klingon Peace Talks at Korvat Colony. The Ambassador was severely injured in a terrorist attack conducted by the Albino. (TLE novel: Excelsior: Forged in Fire)

In 2293, Kamarag was still ambassador to the Federation following the destruction of Praxis. Kamarag argued to Federation President Ra-ghoratreii of Efros in the Presidential Office that the Empire's arrest of Kirk and Starfleet Commander Leonard McCoy for the assassination of Klingon Chancellor Gorkon, Son of Toq, was legal under interstellar law. Kamarag was later present at the writing of the Khitomer Accords and witnessed Colonel Patrick West's attempted assassination of President Ra-ghoratreii. (TOS movie: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)

After the Khitomer conference, Kamarag kidnapped Peter Kirk, nephew of James T. Kirk, in an attempt to sabotage Klingon-Federation peace talks. After Kamarag's role in the kidnapping was discovered, a Klingon force led by General Korrd pursued the renegade former Ambassador. (TOS novel: Sarek)

The Kamarag class of battlecruiser in Star Trek Online is named after the ambassador.

Alternate TimelinesEdit

In an alternate timeline, Kamarag offered his sympathies on Earth's near destruction to the Federation Council. At that same meeting, he demanded that the Federation share the secrets of the Genesis Device. (Star Trek: Myriad Universes novel: The Chimes at Midnight)
