At a Glance
The Mo'Kai are a Great Family within the Klingon system, holding both Imperial lands on Qo'noS and a Throneworld where their power is based. The House itself is ancient but its origins are obscure. In the 23rd Century, the Mo'Kai had an established reputation for being a house of "liars, deceivers, and watchers." They preferred espionage, sabotage, and assassination in lieu of overt military confrontation. Though habitually found as a member of the High Council throughout the 22nd to 25th centuries, this reputation precedes them and continues into the modern-day.
A large portion of Klingon Intelligence leans on Mo'Kai resources and personnel to function. Despite their notoriety, countless Chancellors have used the Mo'Kai as a House able to do the things that the more honor-stricken Houses would not. The Mo'Kai are, effectively, the underhand of the Chancellor. The Mo'Kai acts as the Chancellor's eyes and ears and- when necessary- will plant or sow dissent within the Great Houses to keep the power blocs from gaining enough to be considered a threat to the Chancellor.
There has been one modern female Chancellor- L'Rell, Mother of Klingons-and she was of the Mo'Kai.
