Kaltorus

Areore leader and father of Rawda

The leader of an Areore village on a pre-warp world, who takes in the stranded exocomp Peanut Hamper and whose son Rawda marries her before her scheme with the Drookmani comes to light.

Kaltorus appears in the Lower Decks episode A Mathematically Perfect Redemption. He heads a settlement of the Areore, a bird-like people who once had spacefaring technology but chose to give it up and live simply, keeping their old ships buried out of sight.
When Peanut Hamper, the exocomp who deserted the USS Cerritos, crashes on their planet, Kaltorus is wary of the machine, but his son Rawda befriends her. She appears to embrace Areore ways, and Kaltorus eventually gives his blessing to their wedding.
The ceremony is interrupted by Drookmani scavengers who have come for the ancient ships. Kaltorus and his people learn that Peanut Hamper summoned them herself so that she could play the hero in front of Starfleet, and she is taken away to confinement at the Daystrom Institute.
