Canadian actor who played V'Kir, a Vulcan purist member of the ruling quorum on Ni'Var who opposes cooperation with the Federation, in the third-season Star Trek: Discovery episode Unification III.
Emmanuel Kabongo is a Canadian actor and producer who guest-stars in Star Trek: Discovery as V'Kir.
He appears in Unification III, in the third season, when Michael Burnham travels to Ni'Var, the renamed Vulcan now shared by Vulcans and Romulans, to request the data from the SB-19 experiment. Burnham invokes the T'Kal-in-ket, a formal philosophical challenge, and V'Kir sits on the three-member quorum that hears it.
V'Kir represents the Vulcan purist faction, which resents both the Romulan presence and the Federation, and he is the most hostile voice in the hearing. His stance shows how fragile the unified society founded on Spock's work still is.
