The honourable Gin'tak title is reserved for those Klingons who serve as a personal advisor for one of the Great Houses. These warriors are trusted absolutely and may even become a member of the Great House they serve for their continued role. This is simply because the Gin'tak puts the good of the House he serves above all other considerations, including ones regarding personal honour which is a driving force with Klingon society. Should the Gin'tal believe that a member of the House is endangering the family then they are entitled to invoke the right of Ya'nora kor. (TNG episode: "Firstborn")
