Mogh was a male Klingon who lived during the first half of the 24th century. He was the son of Worf. Upon Worf's death in 2333, he became leader of the House of Mogh. Married to Kaasin, he had two sons, Worf, who was named after Mogh's father, and Kurn. According to Kahlest in 2366, Mogh had been devoted to the Emperor of the Klingon Empire.
In 2333, Mogh was first officer of the IKS Pu'Bekh under Captain K'mpec. Later, when K'mpec gained a seat on the High Council, Mogh was elevated to captain. (TLE novel: The Art of the Impossible)
By 2346, Mogh had become suspicious that a high ranking Klingon was working with the Romulans. He followed the lead to Khitomer. When his rival Ja'rod betrayed the outpost to the Romulans, Mogh, his wife, and over 4,000 other Klingons died in the attack. (TLE novel: The Art of the Impossible; TNG episode: "Sins of the Father")
Alternate realities[]
In the alternate timeline that Lore created after the Soong-type android had the Red Path cult detonate the Bajoran Orb of Destruction inside Plemora, Mogh and his wife were slain at the hands of Romulans before the species was exterminated by the Grand Eternal Matrix of Lore. Having been with them at Khitomer, Worf — who was six years old at the time — witnessed their deaths and after claimed that the faces of those who had murdered his parents were seared into his brain from this encounter. Despite the deaths of Mogh and Kaasin, however, Worf survived the events at Khitomer and later fathered a son named Alexander Rozhenko, thereby ensuring continuation of their bloodline. Both father and son would later become members of Starfleet and Worf mentioned the fate that had befallen his parents when Alexander inquired about the appearance of Romulans years later. In answer, Worf noted that the younger officer was born after the species that murdered his grandparents had been eliminated. (ST - Lore War comic: "Part 2")
