Azetbur was a Klingon and the daughter of Gorkon, the Chancellor of the Klingon High Council in 2293.

In that year, Azetbur traveled with her father aboard the IKS Kronos One to attend peace talks between the Klingon Empire and the United Federation of Planets. During a dinner with the command staff of the USS Enterprise-A, she opined that the Federation was hypocritical for favoring Humans while claiming egalitarian ideals.

Shortly after, Gorkon was assassinated as part of a conspiracy to sabotage the peace talks. Azetbur was subsequently elevated to the position of Chancellor in her father's place. In that capacity, she continued her father's attempts to achieve peace, and attended a peace conference at Camp Khitomer. There, Azetbur was present for the attempted assassination of the Federation President by members of the conspiracy, an assassination prevented by James T. Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise. At the conclusion of the crisis, having witnessed Captain Kirk's defense of peace in spite of his earlier prejudices towards Klingons, she told him, "You've restored my father's faith," to which Kirk replied, "And you've restored my son's," referring to David Marcus, who was murdered by Klingons.

Apocrypha

  • The Star Trek VI novelization stated that Gorkon expected something to happen to him and therefore used his influence to see that the Council would indeed install Azetbur as chancellor. Also in the novel, Azetbur and Brigadier Kerla are lovers, a romantic attachment briefly disrupted when she suspects him of complicity in her father's death.

She is assassinated by Ditagh, an agent of General Kaarg, whom she believed to be an ally. Kaarg assumed the Chancellorship himself, and one of his first acts was to ban women from ever being Chancellor again, or even sitting on the High Council (a ban still in place in 2367, as mentioned in the episode "Redemption").
