Durka

PERFORMER	David Wheeler
DEBUT	1999

Captain Selto Durka is the feared captain of the lost Peacekeeper ship, the Zelbinion. Rygel was a former prisoner on the ship and was tortured by Durka. When Moya's crew find the Zelbinion in the Farscape episode "PK Tech Girl," Rygel discovers the remains of his old nemesis.

However, Durka is not dead. He returns in the episode "Durka Returns." The remains that Rygel discovered on the Zelbinion were of a junior officer that Durka killed and dressed like him in an attempt to avoid capture from the Nebari that attacked the ship. However, the plan did not work and he was captured. Durka comes aboard Moya as a Nebari prisoner, and Rygel attempts to build a bomb in order to assassinate Durka. Rygel's plan doesn't work, and Durka attempts to take control of Moya. Failing that, he escapes on the Nebari ship.

In the episodes "With Friends Like These..." and "Plan B," Durka re-surfaces as the leader of the Zenetan pirates, having disposed of Kcrackic. Durka attempts to kill Rygel, but Rygel was prepared for such an event and succeeds in killing Durka. Afterwards, Rygel carries Durka's head around on a staff.
