When the character of Worf was created for TNG we got to learn a great deal of Klingon culture and lore and they became three dimensional for viewers. On the original Star Trek this was just a group that liked to fight and kill. Worf as played by Michael Dorn is presented here and on Deep Space Nine as a model Klingon.
Gene Roddenberry seems to have borrowed from the Japanese warrior tradition and samurai culture in creating the Klingons. The first several emperors were mythological beings until archaeological evidence proves otherwise. The fist Japanese emperor a guy named Jimmu Tenno came directly from the sun.
They have an emperor too who was thought semi-divine. Worf on a pilgrimage to a planet thought sacred in the Klingon tradition runs into a reincarnated flesh and blood version of Kahless the first Klingon emperor of whom it was prophesied he'd return to life from the place he went to die.
This is all not sitting well with the current head of the Klingon High Council Gowron. Robert O'Reilly making one of his appearances as Gowron sees insurrection and he wants to stop it.
The solution for all this is a simple one. But I won't reveal. Kevin Conway plays Kahless a Klingon in whom a lot of hopes and dreams are vested.
