When people think of truly memorable Klingon characters almost every list comes up with the Duras Sisters. Gwynyth Walsh plays the younger, yet controlling Duras Sister, B’Etor. Klingon clubs will rave when they see her at our July Summer Show in Orlando.
B’Etor was one of the Duras sisters who were responsible for the start of the Klingon Civil War. She was the younger sister, the more seductive and more volatile of the two. She and Lursa supported their nephew Toral as the new Chancellor of the Klingon High Council. Toral was the illegitimate son of their brother Duras. She staked Toral’s claim just as Jean-Luc Picard, who was the arbiter of succession, was about to pronounce Gowron as chancellor. In determining their claim, Picard went planetside and paid an invited visit to B’Etor and Lursa. B’Etor attempted to convince him that Toral’s challenge must be approved. B’Etor made a futile effort to seduce Picard. (TNG: “Redemption”)
