Ortakin was a male Klingon and a member of the Klingon Defense Force in the 2370s. He was the Par'Mach'kai of Tavana. In 2373, Ortakin was serving with Tavana on the IKS Rotarran. After Leskit hit home with how desperate the ships situation was, Kornan attacked him and turned on Ortakin, when the younger man stepped in. Ortakin received serious wounds in the frenzied attack and Jadzia Dax took him to Sickbay. Ortakin later supported Worf against Kornan and Leskit. (DS9 episode: "Soldiers of the Empire")
