The House of K'mpec was a Great House in the Klingon Empire. In the 24th century the House was led by K'mpec. A worker in the Federation Embassy on Qo'noS, Vark, had previously been associated with the House of K'mpec as a steward; two fingers on his left hand were missing due to either glorious battle against the Kinshaya or an accident in the kitchen of the House of K'mpec.
