10 Most Messed Up Deaths In Star Trek: Discovery

10. Aunt's In Your Trance — Tolor

In the 31st-32nd centuries, the 'Emerald Chain' was, in essence, a rebranding of the one-time — and long time ago — 'Orion Syndicate,' with no O'Brien around to sniff them out (… or was he?). The galactic crime gang had traversed the aeons, now permeating the galaxy with the latest after-whiff of post-Burn. The Chain was led without pity, but with pit for a trance worm, by Orion 'Minister' Osyraa. It's her chiselled-chinned, and rather dopey, nephew Tolor, however, who concerns us here.

In the Chain, like the Syndicate, every badly done deed comes back to bite you. That's not karma, just standard operating procedure. Auntie Osyraa had already killed Tolor's father when he was only a child, so at least, in a sense, she was keeping up a family tradition when she fed him to the trance worm — the mesmerising animal from Kwejian.

Tolor had been responsible for his own particularly messed-up death when he sent one of his slave labourers, Lai, running right into the perimeter forcefield of the salvage yard on Hunhau for daring to take a water ration. The impact decapitated the poor Bajoran instantly. Tolor would then become a light snack for his Auntie's pet worm for having 'let' another escape — the Andorian, Ryn. Beamed into the pit, and in spite of his cries of "Please Aunt Osyraa, no", Tolor was flung, torn, and quartered moments later.
