Star Trek fans will have no doubt heard the tale of Kahless the Unforgettable on countless occasions, what with the character being the Klingon Empire's most revered legendary figure.

He was said to be the greatest Klingon warrior of all, and it's his figure that T'Kumva channels in his attempts to unite the various Klingon houses to attack the Federation in the second episode. Kahless, for those not in the know, pretty much wrote the book on Klingon ideology, with myth also saying that he forged the first ever Bat'leth with a strand of his volcanic hair. Nice.

The real Kahless is yet to get a live action appearance, but both a clone and an illusion of the character made appearances in TNG and TOS respectively. Could Discovery show a flashback of the leader?
