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 informally act as the Chancellor's eyes and ears. When necessary they will sow dissent between the Great Houses to keep the political blocs from gaining enough power to be a threat to the Chancellor.
There have been two modern female Chancellors- L'Rell, Mother of Klingons was of the Mo'Kai and preceded Azetbur of House Azetbur, daughter of Gorkon.
