Chorgan

politically forceful suspicious/guarded clan-loyal ritual-minded authoritative

Chorgan commands the Gatherer polity as the present leader and a senior scion of the Lornack clan. He governs through ritual authority and blunt political force, insisting on concrete guarantees for Gatherer autonomy and representation rather than symbolic gestures. Chorgan distrusts outside amnesty, tests rivals’ resolve at ceremonial tables, and uses guarded hostility to enforce dignity for his people. Recent events place him at the center of a forensic revelation and an assassination attempt tied to clan vengeance, forcing him to navigate immediate survival, interclan memory, and high‑stakes diplomacy with Picard, Marouk, Riker, and Brull.
