''"Rodek" redirects here. See [[Rogaz]] for the Rura Penthe guard formerly known as Rodek.'' {{NPCinfo | rank = General | faction = Klingon | location = I.K.S. Kor | location2 = Gon'cra System | location3 = Briar Patch | location4 = Deep Space 9 | race = Klingon | profession = Information giver | pips = | image = STOKurn.png | voice = Tony Todd }} General '''Kurn''', son of Mogh, is a [[Klingon]] [[General]] who served in the [[Klingon Defense Force]] in [[24th Century|24th]] and [[25th Century]]. He is [[Worf]]'s brother. ==History== Kurn was only a year old and living on [[Qo'noS]] when the [[Romulan Star Empire]] attacked the {{MAlpha|Khitomer outpost}} where his father and older brother Worf were living. Kurn was subsequently raised by Lorgh, a close family friend. In the year 2366, {{MAlpha|Duras, son of Ja'rod|Duras}} accused Mogh of conspiring with the Romulans and facilitating the attack on the outpost, at which time Kurn approached Worf on the [[U.S.S. Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)|U.S.S. ''Enterprise''-D]] and revealed himself to be his brother. The sons of Mogh and Captain [[Jean-Luc Picard]] traveled to [[Qo'noS]] to contest Duras' allegations, but were forced to accept defeat when it was found that Duras' power within the [[Klingon High Council]] was too strong; Worf bore the discommendation of their house alone, as Kurn's lineage remained secret. A year later, Chancellor {{MAlpha|K'mpec}} died after being poisoned. When Duras' sisters {{MAlpha|Lursa}} and {{MAlpha|B'Etor}} attempted to seize power from [[Gowron]], K'mpec's rightfully-chosen successor, Kurn and Worf fought in the ensuing {{MAlpha|Klingon Civil War}} on the side of Gowron with Kurn commanding the {{MAlpha|IKS Hegh'ta|I.K.S. ''Hegh'ta''}}. Following Gowron's victory, the House of Mogh was reinstated. By 2372, Kurn had earned a seat on the High Council. That same year, the Klingon Empire declared war on the [[Cardassian Union]], alleging that the Cardassian government had been infiltrated by the [[Dominion]]. When Worf refused to condone or participate in the conflict, the House of Mogh was again discommendated and Kurn was expelled from the High Council. Kurn then came to Worf, now serving on [[Deep Space 9]], and tried to convince his brother to aid him in the {{MAlpha|Mauk-to'Vor}} ritual so that he could die with honor. After the senior officers of DS9 interceded, it was decided that Kurn would be surgically altered and given a new identity; he was henceforth known as Rodek, son of {{MAlpha|Noggra}}. He would go on to serve alongside [[Martok]] during the [[Dominion War]]. By 2410, he has achieved the rank of General in the KDF and is also a member of the [[Klingon Honor Guard]]. At some point during Rodek/Kurn's career, the General had engaged in direct combat with the [[Tzenkethi Coalition]]. Whether this was before or after becoming Rodek or even false memories is unclear. He has a wife, [[B'irja]], and at least two daughters, one of whom is Loresinger Juvat. ==Missions involved== * {{mission|The House Always Wins||KDF}}: Rodek is present at the Martok estates during the {{MAlpha|Ak'voh}} for [[M'ven]]. * {{mission|Of Signs and Portents||ALL}}: Rodek accompanies the player and Captain [[Kuumaarke]] as they investigate the use of [[protomatter]] weapons by the [[Tzenkethi]] in a remote region of the [[Alpha Quadrant]]. * [[File:Faction_FedRomKDF.png|24px]] [[Gon'cra System|Tzenkethi Battlezone]]: Rodek coordinates the Alliance efforts to halt [[Tzenkethi]] operations in the [[Gon'cra System]]. * {{mission|Gravity Kills||ALL}}: Rodek coordinates the Alliance efforts to halt [[Tzenkethi]] operations near a microquasar hypermass. * {{mission|Tzenkethi Front||ALL}}: Rodek coordinates the Alliance efforts to defend the [[Eta Serpentis System]]. * {{mission|Arena of Sompek||ALL}}: Rodek acts as an announcer for the Arena of Sompek. * {{mission|Brushfire||ALL}}: The [[Player]] accompanies Rodek to rescue General [[Martok]] from a [[Son'a]] facility in the [[Briar Patch]], where he is being held by [[Torg]]. Aided by [[Kavat'kara]], a [[Jem'Hadar]] prisoner, they escape the prison. Following their escape, Martok informs Rodek of his true lineage as a Son of {{mAlpha|Mogh}}, and vows to restore the House of Mogh to its place on the High Council. Rodek admits that learning the truth of his heritage is a difficult thing for him to process. * {{mission|Scylla and Charybdis||ALL}}: Kurn joins the player in the defence of [[Bajor]]. * {{mission|Storm Clouds Gather||ALL}}: Kurn can be consulted at the Alliance summit. He reveals his true lineage as a Son of Mogh as informed by Martok, thanks the player sincerely for their help during their time together, and hopes to fight alongside them again. *{{mission|1=The Fujiwhara Effect|2=|3=ALL}}: Kurn is present alongside the Klingon Empire at Admiral Quinn's briefing on Earth Spacedock before the final battle against the Terran Empire commences in the Sol System. He is one of the many others who expressed shock when Dr. [[Beverly Crusher (mirror)|Beverly Crusher]] enters the briefing. ==Other involvement== * [[Lore Blogs#A Gathering of Wills|"A Gathering of Wills"]]: Rodek meets with Colonel Taanu of the [[Lukari]] Security Force. He compliments Taanu on the strength of his forces, and provides him with intelligence on [[Tzenkethi]] activity. Taanu confirms that the Lukari have determined that the Tzenkethi are using [[Protomatter]] weaponry, and have detonated several devices along the Alpha Quadrant frontier. Taanu speculates that the Tzenkethi may be testing their weapon in advance of deploying it against the Alliance. Taanu states that the Lukari will be sending their new flagship to investigate the protomatter activity, though he is displeased with the design compromises made as a result of Captain [[Kuumaarke|Kuumaarke's]] advocacy of scientific capabilities. Rodek assures Taanu that he will personally lead a Klingon force to accompany the Lukari ship on its mission. * [[Lore Blogs#Tale of the Witch|"Tale of the Witch"]]: Rodek and his wife, B'irja, travel to [[Nimbus III]] in search of [[Adet'pa]], a Klingon woman known locally as a "witch." They discover the cave she lives in, and she invites them inside for a meal. Adet'pa correctly deduces that they have sought her out to learn the truth behind [[J'mpok]]'s duel with [[Martok]] in 2393. She reveals that [[Torg]] intervened after J'mpok delivered what should have been the killing blow, taking Martok prisoner and maintaining him in a near-death state. Torg did this in order to install J'mpok as Chancellor; later, he would undermine J'mpok and assume the role himself, with the ultimate goal of establishing himself as a new Emperor. Adet'pa had been discredited and exiled to prevent her from sharing her knowledge of these events. She tells Rodek and B'irja that she will tell them where Martok is being kept, if they agree to bring her back to Klingon space and arrange for asylum within the [[House of Martok]]. * [[Lore Blogs#New Featured Episode: Brushfire|"New Featured Episode: Brushfire"]]: Rodek prepares the ''Kor'' to depart on a mission to rescue Martok from the [[Son'a]]. Lady [[Sirella]], who helped him plan the operation before it was presented to [[J'mpok]] and the High Council, visits him, and she urges him to, if it comes to it, send his ship to the edge of the [[Briar Patch]] to make Torg pay for the death of [[M'ven]]. * [[Lore Blogs#A Warrior Reborn|"A Warrior Reborn"]]: At Starfleet Medical, Doctor Oskar Mazur is able to restore General Rodek's original memories as Kurn, with input from the original surgeon who had removed them, [[Julian Bashir]]. Following cosmetic surgery to restore his original appearance, Kurn meets with his wife, B'irja, and his brother, Worf. Kurn tells Worf that if Martok restores the House of Mogh, he will not contest Worf's right to lead it. Kurn states that he will honor his debt to the House of Noggra, who took him in as Rodek, and treated him well. Kurn says he intends to move to the Alpha Quadrant after he recovers from his surgery, intending to continue the fight against the Tzenkethi. He suggests that he and his family may settle aboard Deep Space 9. Worf warns Kurn that enemies within the Klingon Empire will be moving against them in retaliation for the rescue of Martok. ==Notes== * Kurn is voiced by Tony Todd, the same actor who played Rodek/Kurn in ''{{MAlpha|Star Trek: The Next Generation}}'' and ''{{MAlpha|Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Deep Space Nine}}''. * Another Klingon named [[Rodek_(Rura_Penthe)|Rodek]] was present in the game as a guard on [[Rura Penthe]], and prior to Season 12 it was unknown whether this was the same character, though it is now known they are entirely different characters. The "duplicate" Rodek was renamed [[Rogaz]] in [[Season Twenty: House Divided]]. * Kurn can be seen at DS9's replimat for players who have completed {{mission|Brushfire}}. * In [[Season Twenty-one: House Shattered]], Kurn has been added in {{mission|The House Always Wins}} attending M’ven’s Ak’voh at the Ketha Lowlands during the remastering of the Warzone arc as part of the [[Year of Klingon]] updates. == Gallery == <gallery> File:Rodek.png|Kurn as Rodek.
