He become quite likeable during the season, after the first couple of episodes, where he was just acting weird compared to your average Starfleet officer. Of course if we find out that he killed “our” Lorca and took his place, things will change. Then he's certainly a bad guy who's been faking it all along.
During the episode, aptly titled "Choose Your Pain," an imprisoned Harry Mudd goaded his new cellmate, Lorca, into revealing that the captain's eye condition was an injury sustained after he watched his previous crew incinerated aboard the U.S.S. Buran.
In the final moments of the action-filled episode “What's Past Is Prologue,” the Mirror universe's Emperor Philippa Georgiou (Michelle Yeoh) stabbed the rebel leader Gabriel Lorca (Jason Isaacs) through the heart with a sword, then dumped him into a reactor core to disintegrate.
Background information. Gabriel Lorca was played by Jason Isaacs. For his first ten appearances, it was assumed that he was native to the prime universe. In "Vaulting Ambition", it was revealed that the prime Lorca had been replaced by his mirror universe counterpart sometime before "Context Is for Kings".
Not as we know him. As much as we love Captain Lorca and Jason Isaacs' portrayal of him, he was fairly resolutely killed off in Star Trek: Discovery season one episode'What's Past Is Prologue'.
Georgiou begins dying in Saru's arms when she wakes up in Prime-Michael's arms on Dannus IV. Georgiou was unconscious for one minute in real-time, but she still clocked 3 months of time in the Mirror Universe. However, Georgiou is still dying.
Apocrypha. In the Star Trek: Discovery comic miniseries, Succession it was revealed that Burnham pretended to ally with Lorca, in order to stop his plans. However, Burnham was killed by Airiam (β) who then succeeded her as Empress.
Star Trek: Discovery showrunner Alex Kurtzman has revealed that Jason Isaacs's Lorca won't be back for season two, but there's still a chance he could appear in the future. In one of the biggest twists of the first season, Captain Lorca was revealed to be from the Mirror Universe, before being killed off.
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for the Season 3 finale of Star Trek: Discovery, “The Hope That is You, Part 2.”] “Let's fly.” So says Discovery's new captain, Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) as the crew sets off on a new mission at the end of the third season of the CBS All Access series.
The Discovery crew of Star Trek: Discovery season 3 is quite different to the cast Burnham first joined in season 1. Among the personnel changes is Ellen Landry, who was initially serving as Captain Lorca's chief security officer.
García Lorca's biographer, Stainton, states that his killers made remarks about his sexual orientation, suggesting that it played a role in his death. Ian Gibson suggests that García Lorca's assassination was part of a campaign of mass killings intended to eliminate supporters of the Leftist Popular Front.
In the early 1930s Lorca helped inaugurate a second Golden Age of the Spanish theatre. He was executed by a Nationalist firing squad in the first months of the Spanish Civil War.
However, Mirror Burnham's quest to hunt down Lorca appears to be a ruse, as she was conspiring against her own adoptive mother to kill her and take her throne with Lorca, who Mirror Burnham once viewed as a father figure, until she grew up and it became romantic. Georgiou, however, kills him instead.
Federico García Lorca is presumed to be buried in a mass grave in Viznar, a village which lies at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Granada in Spain, Europe. He was regarded by Franco's fascists as a dangerous intellectual and was arrested on the 16th August 1936.
