FAMOUS & INFAMOUS KLINGONS, #6, --- Grilka, [Her I really like!!!]...

Grilka was a splendid Klingon woman, wife to the head of the House of Kozak, a family of some import in the Klingon High Council. Beautiful and powerful Grilka was widowed when very drunken Kozak fell on a knife and was killed in 2371 aboard station Deep Space 9 in a brief tussle with Quark. Because initial reports indicated Kozak was killed in honorable combat, Grilka was forced to perform the brek'tal ritual with her husband's supposed killer, Quark, in order to preserve her family line and keep their lands from her scheming brother-in-law.

Quark, acting briefly as head of the House, made arrangements with the Klingon High Council so that Grilka could lead the family herself. Klingon law normally prevented a woman from leading a House, but Grilka eventually managed to be the head of her own House, --- the House Of Grilka.

In return for his assistance, Grilka granted Quark a divorce in the traditional Klingon way, by cursing and spitting at him. But, they remained friends and in 2373, Grilka visited Quark on Deep Space 9 to ask him for financial advice. With Worf's tutelage in the ways of Klingon courtship, Quark, impressed with Grilka, pursued her with interest in her past achievements and family history, eventually winning her affection. As a result of this relationship with Grilka, and during the usual wild Klingon-style sex with her, Quark received a compound fracture of the right radius, two fractured ribs, torn ligaments, strained tendons and numerous bruises and scratches.

Upon first glimpsing the magnificent Grilka entering the Space Station with other Klingons Worf was immediately struck with Klingon par 'Mach [love-attraction] and exclaimed, --- "She's glorious!  I've never seen a woman like her!  Who is she?"  Jadzia Dax who was with him at the time and no doubt jealous, seemed unimpressed. remarking, --- "She's Grilka.  She's okay."  

Worf was inspired to court Grilka with bringing a freshly killed cut of ligta to her table, sweeping everything off of it with the leg of lingta and stating that all he wants is to provide food for her and bring honor to her name.  But, before he can do this Jadzia Dax makes her desire for Worf known and they consummate it.  Then, the only honorable thing for Jadzia and Worf to do is to marry.  

However, Worf still admired the powerful Grilka from afar and after Jadzia Dax died Grilka met Worf again  They soon started a relationship and married in a traditional Klingon ceremony with many of Worf's friends from Starfleet attending and also his family, the House of Martok.  In 2388, after two years of marriage, Grilka gave birth to their son K'Dhan.  Worf said that when Grilka gave birth to K'Dhan "her shouts rang through the city".
