Despite this, Worf became convinced that the Klingons would make a leap of faith and accept him as the legitimate heir of Kahless.

Worf avoided romantic attachments with non-Klingons during his first few years on board the Enterprise-D. As Worf explained to both Riker and Guinan, he felt that non-Klingon females would be too fragile, and that he would have to restrain himself too much.

Worf reluctantly informed Sisko, knowing this would jeopardize his status in the empire.

The informant is subsequently executed by the Dominion, causing Captain Benjamin Sisko, the commander of Deep Space Nine, to caution that Starfleet might not grant Worf his own command after this incident, but adds that had he been forced to choose between his duty and his wife, he would have done the same thing.

Eventually, Worf would capture her and Grand Nagus Zek who crossed over to this universe to open new markets.

A grateful Martok would later invite Worf ( who had earlier been stripped of his family name by Gowron ) to join Martok's house.

After Worf joined Martok's house, his son Alexander would be inducted into the house, as would Jadzia Dax, when she married Worf ( the latter was initially opposed by Sirella ).

Jadzia's connection to the Klingon culture would become increasingly important as the series progressed, especially after the fourth-season arrival of Worf.

Jadzia would eventually marry Worf and join him as a member of the Klingon House of Martok.

Worf tells the Romulan that he has biological factors needed by the Romulan to survive, but the Romulan tells him that " he would rather die than be polluted by Klingon filth ".

Inside the Holodeck, Rozhenko is devastated by the possibility that Vorin might return and inform the other villagers of the reality of their situation, which would invalidate all the work he and Worf have done and destroy everything the villagers believe in.

Worf and Nikolai finally make peace when Worf accepts and admits that the Boraalan race would not have survived if not for his brother ’ s unconventional methods.

K ' mpec calls Worf, Picard, and Kahlest into his private quarters and reveals the truth ; the Council is well aware that Duras ' father was the Khitomer traitor, but exposure of this, given Duras ' high political capital, would certainly lead to civil war within the Empire.

The Council only accepted Duras ' charge of treason against Mogh believing that Worf would not challenge it.

This retcon itself was later retconned, in Star Trek: Enterprise, via a storyline in which it is revealed that the original, quasi-human appearance of the Klingons is due to a genetic mutation caused by an engineered virus – as it happened, " genetic engineering " ( Chief O ' Brien ) and " viral mutation " ( Dr. Bashir ) had been the guesses Worf refused to confirm or deny.

Worf later regained his Starfleet commission ( TNG: " Redemption, Part II ").

After Martok refused, Worf decided to challenge Gowron himself, citing his faulty battle planning, his dishonorable conduct in trying to discredit Martok, and poor strategies at the later stages of the Dominion War.

It was later revealed by Benjamin Sisko, Worf, Miles O ' Brien and Odo that it was the Klingons themselves who unknowingly had a Changeling in their midst, pretending to be General Martok.

She briefly resumes Jadzia's relationship with Worf and later begins a romance with Julian Bashir.

Worf is later mocked for this, as he had killed a mere clone instead of an enemy that was less replaceable.

( 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 ).

This is the reason that Worf's brother Kurn was granted a seat on the council after the 2367 civil war, and was later taken from Kurn when Worf refused Gowron's orders to turn against the Federation in 2372.

In tears, Dr. Crusher informs Troi and Alexander of his demise, but minutes later they are pleasantly surprised as Worf revives due to the redundancies built into his body that back up even his neural functions.

With the Klingons set to reappear, Berman suggested the return of a character from Star Trek: The Next Generation – the Klingon Worf – as a permanent officer aboard Deep Space Nine.

Worf is a popular character among fans.

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.

Worf was the only character to be a regular in more than one live-action Star Trek series ( While Miles O ' Brien was featured in both The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, he was not a regular cast member in the former series ).

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.

With the advent of the series Star Trek: The Next Generation ( 1987 )— in which one of the main characters, Worf, was a Klingon — and successors, the language and various cultural aspects for the fictional species were expanded.

Worf received a minor gunshot wound when the computer began remaking all the characters as replicas of Data.

Other Star Trek actors such as Michael Dorn ( Worf on TNG ), Brent Spiner ( Data on TNG ), Colm Meaney ( Miles O ’ Brien on TNG and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ), LeVar Burton ( Geordi La Forge on TNG ), Nichelle Nichols ( Uhura on Star Trek: The Original Series ), Avery Brooks ( Benjamin Sisko on DS9 ), Paul Winfield ( Clark Terrell in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan ), David Warner ( various characters, most notably Gul Madred in " Chain of Command ", a two-part episode of TNG ) and Kate Mulgrew ( Kathryn Janeway on Star Trek: Voyager ) were guest or recurring stars in the series.

Other characters include Mr. Fukov, Mr. Spook ( Finnish: Mr. Spökö ), Mr. Dwarf ( Wuf ), Ensign Shitty and Mr. Info ( loosely based, respectively, on Star Trek's Pavel Chekov, Mr. Spock, Worf, Scotty, and Data ).

Major characters who became married to each other include Keiko and Miles O ' Brien, Worf and Jadzia Dax, Leeta and Rom, Tom Paris and B ' Elanna Torres, William Riker and Deanna Troi, and Jean-Luc Picard and Beverly Crusher ( in an alternate future ).

Along with Worf, O ' Brien is one of the two main characters that moved from TNG onto DS9.

Jean-Luc Picard admonishes Worf in Star Trek: Insurrection, " Straighten your baldric.

Worf, played by Michael Dorn, is a main character in Star Trek: The Next Generation and in seasons four to seven of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

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.

In Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Worf's grandfather Colonel Worf ( also portrayed by Michael Dorn ) appears in a role as the legal advocate of Captain James T. Kirk and Dr. Leonard McCoy after they are accused of killing Chancellor Gorkon of the Klingon High Council.

After the conclusion of the Dominion War, Worf is made the Federation ambassador to Qo ' noS ( the Klingon homeworld ), as depicted in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine series finale " What You Leave Behind ".

Worf continued to appear in TNG films which is explained in various ways such as rescue ( Star Trek: First Contact ) and leave ( Star Trek: Insurrection ).

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.

Unlike his TNG co-stars, this was Michael Dorn's second Star Trek film, having appeared on Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, portraying his TNG character's grandfather, Colonel Worf, who defended Kirk and McCoy on their trial.

Vulcan's Forge is also mentioned in " Change of Heart ", in which Worf wants himself and Jadzia Dax to honeymoon there, as well as in episodes " The Forge ", " Awakening " and " Kir ' Shara " from Star Trek: Enterprise.

This is most definitively demonstrated in Star Trek: Insurrection where Picard and Worf distract an erratically behaving Data by singing two parts of A British Tar, compelling Data to sing the third part.

After Data died, it was mentioned in a deleted scene of Star Trek: Nemesis that Worf is now taking care of her on board the Enterprise.

More recently, in the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, the crew is sometimes seen playing five-card stud, often an officer's game hosted by Commander William Riker and usually entered by Data ( as part of his efforts to become more human ), Worf, Geordi LaForge, Dr Beverley Crusher, Deanna Troi and occasionally by other crewmembers.

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode " Parallels ", Lt. Worf traveled to several parallel universes when his shuttlecraft went through a time space fissure.
