One of the childlike people who serve the machine Vaal on Gamma Trianguli VI, whose imitation of a kiss he sees between Enterprise crew members brings down Vaal's anger.
Makora is a young man among the Feeders of Vaal, the ageless villagers who tend a powerful machine on Gamma Trianguli VI. He appears in the second-season Original Series episode The Apple and was played by David Soul.
The villagers know nothing of love or children, since Vaal forbids both and no replacements are needed. After Makora and the young woman Sayana watch Chekov and Yeoman Landon embrace, they try a kiss themselves. Vaal summons the village leader Akuta and declares the strangers a danger.
On Vaal's instructions Akuta teaches Makora and the other men how to kill with a club, and they attack the landing party, killing one crewman before being subdued. When the Enterprise destroys Vaal, Makora and his people are left to build a society of their own.
