GregOttawa explains why Worf was paradoxically the last true Klingon:
Worf is so big on honor precisely because he grew up with human parents.
On Klingon worlds, they give lip service to honor but hypocrisy is the norm. Worf grew up reading about Klingons rather than actually meeting them. As a result, he was raised by the idea of a Klingon, rather than any one flawed example.
In this ironic crucible he emerges as a rare honorable Klingon, one shining example of an ideal long extinct, the last true Klingon.
It's fitting that he eventually kills both Gowron and Duras, the two great leaders of his time, because they are both hardly Klingons at all compared to him, being raised in the corrupt political culture of the time.
