Goro is the elder of the transplanted Native American people in The Paradise Syndrome who accepts the amnesiac Kirk as a god and makes him the tribe's medicine chief.
Goro is the leader of a village on the planet later called Amerind in the Original Series episode The Paradise Syndrome. His people are descended from Earth tribes carried there long ago by the Preservers, and they live in the shadow of an obelisk they regard as a temple.
When Kirk, his memory gone, steps out of the obelisk, the priestess Miramanee takes him for a god. Goro is cautious until the stranger revives a drowned boy with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, something the medicine chief Salish could not do.
Goro then takes the medicine badge from Salish and gives it to Kirk, known as Kirok, along with the duty of rousing the temple when the sky darkens. When Kirk cannot open the obelisk as the asteroid nears, Goro's trust gives way and the villagers stone Kirk and the pregnant Miramanee.
