Descendant of Thunderlord clansman who went with the Frostwolf clan during the first war, Mokgath was born in Azeroth and knew nothing of his clan. His father fell in battle that was meant to capture Gul'dan at the end of first war when Orgrim Doomhammer took control of the Horde. His mother, after raising him to twelve years of age, succumbed to strange fever in Alterac Valley. Under the tutorage of Drek'tar, he started to walk the path of shamanism. When Thrall liberated the Orcs and set sail toward Kalimdor, he was among the new recruits to settle in the Valley of Trials, far from the danger of the Third War in Mount Hyjal. Through many battles after the Third War, he has grown powerful. Recently, he was among the band of adventurers to stop Garrosh Hellscream, and has to put an end on his own mentors, Kardis Dreamseeker and Haromm. Although his visit to Outland brought him some information regarding his clan and its renown giant slaying feats, he's far from bringing back his clan's glory. He managed to gather the other descendants of Thunderlord living in Azeroth and sparred with them every now and then

As an accomplished archeologist, he sought out Azeroth's pasts and histories just so he could know more of this world and perhaps, other worlds such as Draenor. Recently, a strange vision of a world unbeknown by most stirred his mind. A world where Elemental creatures roam freely yet live in harmony, untainted by Old God's influence and free from Titans' imprisonment. He believed that the vision came from some Orcs venturing through one of the Dark Portals opened by Ner'zhul and relearned Shamanism on that world. The one whose vision is linked to him was particularly strong, leading him to believe that one of his relatives is there. Without any means to communicate back to his "uncle", he archived many stories and things he saw in the visions to understand that planet a little further.
