Vralk was a male Klingon in the 24th century, a member of the House of Grunnil. As a youth, he was taught traditional Klingon ways by Grunnil, the head of his House, including the belief that females did not belong in positions of authority. Realizing his honor was lost, Vralk appealed to his cousin Lokor, the Gorkon's chief of security, to assist him in the Mauk to'Vor. Lokor refused, and instead, Vralk was put to an ignoble death by Captain Klag. (TNG - The Brave and the Bold, Book Two novella: The Final Artifact; GKN novel: A Good Day to Die)
