Worf avoided Ezri at first, confused about what to do about this new situation.

Several episodes focus on Ezri Dax resolving her relationship with Worf, and the subsequent development of a romantic relationship with Dr. Julian Bashir.

When ( modern ) Klingon Worf and his crewmates see an original-series Klingon, his crewmates ask about the stunning difference in appearance ; Worf says tersely that the matter is something Klingons " do not discuss with outsiders ".

Worf also has a human brother, Nikolai, through his adoption by the Rozhenkos, with whom he often quarreled.

In 2364 Worf was assigned to the USS Enterprise-D as relief flight control and tactical officer with the rank of lieutenant junior grade ( TNG: " Encounter at Farpoint ").

She wanted to marry him but Worf refused because he did not want to share his dishonor with her and their son ( TNG: " Reunion ").

After receiving orders from Sisko not to carry out the honor killing, Worf arranged for his brother to have cosmetic surgery and his memory wiped so he could start a new life with no ties to the House of Mogh.

In early 2373, Worf became involved with DS9 science officer Jadzia Dax who was a Trill woman.

She was the first non-Klingon that Worf could " physically " be with in the traditional Klingon way.

While on a mission to the Gamma Quadrant, Worf was captured and sent to a prison camp where he met the real General Martok and was reunited with the real Dr. Bashir, who had both been captured and replaced by changelings.

While the prisoners worked to escape, Worf entered a daily round of combat with each of the guards in turn.

Though Worf is initially estranged by his now adult son, and skeptical of his son's desire to serve the Empire, he eventually reconciles with him and his son joins the House of Martok.

When Sisko eventually returned with a fleet of Federation ships to retake the station, Worf and Martok lobbied Gowron to send Klingon ships to join the battle.

In 2375, Worf became concerned with the leadership of Gowron.

In an alternate future, Worf had been reluctant to become involved with Troi and her subsequent death led to a rift between Riker and himself as a result.

In the official comic book prequel to the movie Star Trek, Worf is a General in the Klingon Empire who is dispatched to deal with Romulan Captain Nero and his significantly altered mining vessel, the Narada.

Worf takes the opportunity to surprise Nero, cutting into the Narada's hull and fighting his way to the main bridge for a confrontation with Nero.

Already prepared for such a tactic, Nero succeeds in surprising Worf by impaling him through the back with a large mechanical tentacle.

When the Enterprise-E arrives to do battle with the Narada, Nero agrees to beam Worf over if the ship will lower its shields.

The episode " Heart of Glory ", which focuses on Worf and his relationship to other Klingons, is credited with planting " many seeds for successive Klingon storylines ... and new insights into Klingon culture ".

In 1995, with TNG over, the writers of DS9 came up with the idea of adding Worf to the cast in response to pressure to boost ratings .< ref name =" charting "> Source: " Charting New Territory ".

In the episode " By Inferno's Light ", Martok escapes and returns to the Alpha Quadrant with Elim Garak, Worf, and Julian Bashir, and is made commander of the Klingon forces on Deep Space Nine.

Picard, Worf, and the ship's navigator, Lieutenant Hawk, stop the Borg from calling reinforcements with the deflector dish, but Hawk is assimilated.

The station's first appearance in Star Trek: The Next Generation was during the sixth season episode " Birthright " and in addition, two Next Generation characters, Miles O ' Brien and ( from Season 4 onwards ) Worf, became regular members of DS9.

Several " tall, slim, black actors " auditioned for Worf before Michael Dorn came along, walking into the audition in character and not smiling ( Indeed, Michael Dorn found the seriousness of the role, especially during the audition, at first to be uncomfortable, since he considers himself a comedian at heart ).

Later in the series, she becomes involved with the Klingon character Worf, and they marry during the sixth season of the show.

( There is precedent for a Starfleet officer to not wear a regulation uniform, however: Deanna Troi in Star Trek: The Next Generation only wore regulation uniform during seasons six and seven ( followed by all the movies starring the TNG crew ), while Worf wore a Klingon sash with his uniform throughout his Starfleet career on both U. S. S Enterprises and Deep Space Nine but these series take place in later centuries than Star Trek: Enterprise ).

Dorn has appeared on-screen in more Star Trek episodes and movies as the same character than anyone else: he appeared in 175 episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, missing three: " Code of Honor ", " Haven " and " Shades of Gray ," 102 episodes of Deep Space Nine, missing four during his time on the show: " Rocks and Shoals ", " The Magnificent Ferengi ", " Chrysalis " and " Prodigal Daughter " and he also appeared in five Star Trek movies, bringing his total to 281 appearances as Worf.

Indeed, during the first year of the Defiants commission at the station, she also serves as the ship's first officer, a situation that only alters upon the arrival of Lt Commander Worf, who assumes the role as the next most senior Starfleet officer of command grade.

However, during Deep Space Nine, a Regent currently ruled as the true power behind the throne: the brutal Regent Worf.

En route, Kurn volunteers to be Worf's Cha ' DIch, a second to stand with Worf during the challenge.

* Lieutenant Commander Worf ( Security Chief ) After serving as Strategic Operations Officer on Deep Space Nine during the Dominion War, Worf was made an ambassador to Qo ' noS, but eventually returned to Starfleet by the time of the film Star Trek: Nemesis, when he again served as Security Chief and Tactical Officer.

Jack Crusher confronts his ex-wife about the affair she is having with Track-A Picard ; during the argument, which Track-B Picard witnesses, she is accidentally killed ; additionally, members of Track C attempt to kill Worf, and believe all the members of the crew from the other two universes are really Klingon impostors.

The goal of this secret alliance is to destroy Picard and therefore Starfleet's only defense against the Borg but, despite his conditioning, Kirk is able to resist commands to kill Worf, Data, and Geordi La Forge, all of whom are attacked by him during his search for Picard.

Worf fires a torpedo that veers off course during weapons exercises, and Picard and Data leave in a shuttlecraft in order to retrieve it from space.

Also, Miles offered Worf some guidance about commanding and managing others during a crisis.

Worf is the first Klingon main character to appear in Star Trek, and has appeared in more Star Trek franchise episodes than any other character.

Worf was at first not intended to be a regular character, since Gene Roddenberry wanted to avoid " retreads of characters or races featured prominently in the original Star Trek series ", and so the June 1, 1987 cast portrait did not include Worf.

He asked Worf to be his first officer.

In another reality, Worf is first officer of the Enterprise serving under Capt.

They follow Klingon customs as first taught to them by Worf ( DS9: " Children of Time ").

Worf appears at first to be oblivious to this attention, and in the fifth-season episode " Looking for par ' Mach in All the Wrong Places " he becomes enamored with a female Klingon named Grilka.

This is an irony, as it was Worf who had killed Duras to enable Gowron to ascend to the Chancellorship in the first place.

Jadzia was married to Lieutenant Commander Worf, who at first refuses to speak to Ezri, convinced that Jadzia has gone on to Sto-Vo-Kor and can no longer exist through the Dax symbiont.

The first was Colonel Worf ( Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country ), who is the grandfather of Worf ( TNG ) and father of Mogh.

During their first meeting Worf and K ' Ehleyr have a heated argument, only barely managing to concentrate on the job at hand.

While Picard and Riker conceal themselves, Worf and K ' Ehleyr, clad in full traditional Klingon command uniforms, appear as captain and first officer of the Enterprise, informing Captain K ' Temoc of the T ' Ong that the war is over and ordering them to surrender.

* This is the first episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation to feature Klingons other than Lt. Worf.
