An old friend of the House of Mogh who agrees in 2372 to take the disgraced Kurn into his own family as a son named Rodek, after Kurn's memory has been erased.
Noggra is a Klingon who appears at the end of the fourth-season Deep Space Nine episode Sons of Mogh. Worf's refusal to support the invasion of Cardassia has cost his house its lands and standing, and his brother Kurn, ruined and suicidal, has come to the station seeking a ritual death.
When every attempt to give Kurn a reason to live has failed, Worf consents to a drastic remedy. Bashir removes Kurn's memories and alters his genetic markers and features, and Worf asks Noggra, who owes much to their father, for help.
Noggra tells the waking patient that he is Rodek, son of Noggra, injured in an accident, and takes him home. Worf is left with no family in the Empire.
