K'Ratak was a Klingon author who wrote the classic The Dream of the Fire. (TNG: "The Measure Of A Man")

After reviewing The Doctor's work Photons Be Free in 2377, Ardon Broht told him that he could be the next K'Ratak or a modern Leo Tolstoy. (VOY: "Author, Author")

This character was only mentioned in dialogue.
"Author, Author" co-writer Michael Sussman made the reference to K'Ratak as an homage to "The Measure Of A Man"," as both episodes revolved around the rights of artificial lifeforms (holograms in the VOY episode, and androids - specifically, Data - in the TNG episode.)
