Mogh, father of Worf and Kurn, was an influential citizen of the Klingon Empire. He helped Huraga's House during their blood feud with the House of Duras. He was also a friend of Noggra. Mogh was killed during the Romulan attack on Khitomer in 2346. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior", "Sons of Mogh"; TNG: "Sins of the Father", "Birthright, Part I")

However, Worf was forced to accept discommendation in order to protect the Empire due to the power of Duras's family, resulting in his reputation being colored for a time by the stain of his father's alleged crime. (TNG: "Sins of the Father", "The Drumhead")
