Mogh

Mogh is a minor character featured in the Star Trek television franchise. He has never made an on-screen appearance, but has been referenced at length in the 1987-1994 series Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Mogh is a Klingon and the father of Worf and Kurn. He was killed in action at the Battle of Khitomer in a skirmish between the Klingons and the Romulans in the year 2346. Members of the Klingon House of Duras, seeking to tarnish Mogh's reputation, accused Mogh of conspiring with the Romulans, thus enabling the outpost to be attacked. Worf never believed such claims, and eventually cleared his father's name.

It is possible that Mogh is the son of Colonel Worf, a legal arbiter from the year 2293 who presided over the trial of Starfleet officers James T. Kirk and Leonard "Bones" McCoy. Mogh's son, Worf, bears a strong resemblance to this man.
