Klingons have long been one the most intriguing species in the Star Trek canon. They started off as enemies of the Federation in The Original Series but were allies by the time The Next Generation rolled around. The Enterprise even had a Klingon officer named Worf on board at that point. TNG explored Klingon on culture, a trend that followed Worf to Deep Space Nine.

But he wasn't the only Klingon character to make the transition.

Two sisters from the House of Duras named Lursa and B'Etor were thorns of the sides of pretty much everyone. The Federation. The Klingon High Council. Picard. Worf. Unlike most Klingons, they were schemers who preferred duplicitous, illegal and immoral means to reach their nefarious goals. That's a long way of saying they lacked honor.

They appeared on both The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine before meeting their untimely end in the TNG film, Star Trek: Generations. But considering all the shenanigans they got up to that fans know about, there are so many more stories that could still be told about their criminal scheming over the years.
