In Klingon traditional history, Molor was a hated tyrant who ruled Qo'noS approximately 1,500 years ago. Molor was said to be so strong that no man could oppose him, except one: Kahless the Unforgettable, who, together with the Lady Lukara, fought a pitched battle in the Great Hall of the city of Qam-Chee against the soldiers of Molor. While the rest of the city's garrison fled before Molor's 500 soldiers, Kahless and Lukara stood their ground and defeated the forces. (DS9: "Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places") Kahless killed Molor with a newly forged sword, which came to be known as the Sword of Kahless, (DS9: "The Sword of Kahless") and founded the Klingon Empire, becoming the greatest warrior in Klingon history. Molor's defeat was celebrated yearly with the observance of the Kot'baval Festival. (TNG: "Firstborn")

His death was a popular topic in Klingon drinking songs. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior")

Some entrepreneurs on Maranga IV claimed to have Molor's mummified head on display for a fee of fifty darseks per person. Their claim was unlikely to be true. (TNG: "Firstborn")
