Worf, son of Mogh is a fictional graphic symbol in the Star Trek franchise. He appears in the television serial Star Trek: The Adjacent Generation (TNG) and seasons four through seven of Star Expedition: Deep Space Ix (DS9) as well as the characteristic films Star Trek Generations (1994), Star Trek: First Contact (1996), Star Trek: Insurrection (1998), and Star Trek: Nemesis (2002). Worf is the outset Klingon principal graphic symbol to appear in Star Expedition, and in 11 seasons as a regular character on TNG and so DS9, has appeared in more Star Trek franchise episodes than whatever other character. He is portrayed by actor Michael Dorn.

Casting [edit]

Initially, Worf was not intended to exist a regular character, as Gene Roddenberry wanted to avoid "retreads of characters or races featured prominently in the original Star Trek series". Accordingly, a bandage portrait released in June 1987 to promote the upcoming serial did not include Worf.^[1] Several "tall, slim, black actors" auditioned for Worf earlier Michael Dorn came along. Non only did the Worf grapheme become a regular on The Next Generation, he was connected on the Deep Infinite Ix series for four more seasons (1995–99) and talk of a spin-off Worf show continued even into the 2010s.^{[2] [3]}

He made his debut in 1987 in "Run across at Farpoint", and last appeared in character in 2002. Dorn as Worf made 282 on-screen appearances, the most of any actor in the Star Trek franchise.^[4]

Family history [edit]

Worf was orphaned as a kid, and raised on Earth by human parents: Helena and Sergey Rozhenko. This creates conflicts between his upbringing and his desire to honor his biological heritage. He has two brothers, each with a unique backstory, as well as two adoptive human parents, and i son. Important Star Expedition episodes for Worf's family include "The Bonding", "Sins of the Father", "Family unit", "Reunion", "Homeward", and "You Are Cordially Invited".

The Firm of Mogh was a family unit of high social and political rank, and was for a time represented on the Klingon High Council. In Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Land (set up around 70 years before the Next Generation era began), Colonel Worf (likewise portrayed past Dorn) appears as the legal advocate of Captain James T. Kirk and Dr. Leonard McCoy afterwards they are accused of killing Chancellor Gorkon of the Klingon Loftier Council. He was also a member of the Klingon delegation at Military camp Khitomer. Although not explicitly stated, he was intended to be Worf's grandfather and namesake.^[three]

Worf has a son named Alexander with a half-human half-Klingon adult female named K'Ehleyr, a character introduced in "The Emissary"; notwithstanding, she is afterwards killed in "Reunion", a "sequel" to that episode and part of the Worf story arc, leaving Worf as a single parent.^[5] Alexander has to live aboard Enterprise-D when K'Ehleyr is killed. After TNG ends, Worf gets moved to the Deep Infinite Ix space station where he eventually marries the Trill symbiont Jadzia Dax. (Come across "You Are Cordially Invited".) On DS9, Worf misses the Enterprise-D "family" that he had, often bemoaning the cut-charge per unit work ethic and unfriendliness on the wayward outpost.

The episode "Sins of the Father" introduces Worf's long-lost blood brother Kurn, who is also an orphan of the House of Mogh.^[5] His adoptive parents have some other son, Nikolai Rozhenko, whom Worf grew upward with. Nikolai and Worf collaborate in "Homeward" where it is revealed that Worf will likely have a nephew or niece.

In "The Bonding" (TNG S3E5, aired 1989), Worf adopts an orphan boy into the House of Mogh.^[6] In the first Star Trek episode written by screenwriter Ron Moore, the orphan Jeremy (played by Gabriel Damon) has a special Klingon ceremony to exist adopted into Worf's family.^[6]

Join me in the R'uustai, the Bonding. You lot will become function of my family now and for all fourth dimension. We will be brothers.

Storylines [edit]

Backstory [edit]

Worf was born in 2340 on Qo'noS (the Klingon homeworld) as the son of Mogh. V years subsequently, his parents moved to the Khitomer colony. Worf's parents were killed during a surprise attack by the Romulans on the Khitomer outpost. The colony's distress call was answered past the Federation starship USS Intrepid. Master Petty Officeholder Sergey Rozhenko plant Worf in the rubble and took him in later on failing to find whatever living relatives. Rozhenko and his married woman Helena raised him on a small farm colony on the planet Gault, a world of about 20,000 inhabitants, nearly all of them homo. Worf also has a human brother, Nikolai, with whom he often quarreled.^[8] He also spent time on World in his parents' native metropolis of Minsk, after recommending it to Miles O'Brien as 1 of his favorite places on Earth.^{[nine] [10] [eleven]}

Worf did not take the Rozhenkos' last proper name, preferring to be addressed by the Klingon designation "Worf, son of Mogh". Even so, his son Alexander Rozhenko, who was raised past the Rozhenkos afterward his mother Yard'Ehleyr died, did utilise their surname. Although Worf was raised past humans, he considered himself a Klingon at heart and studied the ways of his people. Every bit an adult, his mannerisms and personality, also as his innate sense of honor, became more Klingon than human.

Worf's brother Kurn, barely a twelvemonth old at the time of the Khitomer attack, had been left behind on the Klingon homeworld Qo'noS by his parents. Lorgh, a friend to House of Mogh (appearing simply in dialog of the episode "Sins of the Father"), was charged with the care of the younger son, originally expecting Mogh's stay at the Khitomer outpost to be short-term. Lorgh adopted Kurn after the assail, but informed Klingon authorities that he had died with the rest of the family. Kurn was non revealed as being alive until both brothers were adults.

In 2357, Worf entered Starfleet Academy. He graduated in 2361 and was commissioned with the rank of Ensign, becoming the offset Klingon officer in Starfleet. Although Worf took immense pride and a sense of honor from serving in Starfleet, almost other Klingons shunned and belittled his choice of vocation.

In 2359, he became briefly involved with K'Ehleyr who was the daughter of a Klingon begetter and a homo mother.

The Next Generation [edit]

In 2364, Worf was assigned to the USS Enterprise-D every bit relief flight control and tactical officer with the rank of lieutenant junior grade (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint"). The next year, he was made Interim Chief of Security following the death of Tasha Yar, even though he believed that a promotion due to the death of a comrade was not honorable (TNG: "Skin of Evil"). The adjacent year, he transferred to operations sectionalization and was formally fabricated Chief of Security (TNG: "The Child").

In 2365, he renewed his human relationship with K'Ehleyr when she came aboard the Enterprise as a Federation emissary on an urgent mission. He proposed wedlock but was rejected (TNG: "The Emissary").

In 2366, he was promoted lieutenant (TNG: "Evolution"). After an accident acquired the death of Lt. Marla Astor, Worf brought the orphaned Jeremy Astor into the Business firm of Mogh through the rite of R'uustai (TNG: "The Bonding").

Worf learned of Kurn's beingness when Kurn was assigned to the Enterprise equally an exchange officeholder. Kurn specifically asked for the Enterprise and then he could observe his brother. He then revealed his true identity, informing Worf that the Firm of Mogh's rival Duras accused their father of betraying the Klingon Empire by helping the Romulans assail Khitomer. When they and the Enterprise coiffure discovered that it was in fact Duras'southward father who betrayed the Empire, Worf, realizing that the powerful House of Duras could non be publicly shamed without throwing the Empire into civil war, accepted a ritual discommendation from the Klingon High Council. While Worf decided to have this dishonor, it was decided to keep Kurn'southward true identity hole-and-corner in order to protect his accolade (and the House of Mogh every bit a whole be left alone) (TNG: "Sins of the Male parent").

In 2367, K'Ehleyr returned with Klingon Chancellor G'mpec who had come up to meet with Captain Picard. When she came aboard, Worf learned he had a son named Alexander. She wanted to marry him merely Worf refused because he did non want to share his dishonor with her and their son (TNG: "Reunion").

After M'mpec's death, she assisted Captain Picard with the rite of succession. Thousand'Ehleyr was somewhen murdered by Duras when she institute prove of his interest in the effort to discredit Worf (and why he was discommended). Exercising his right of vengeance, Worf fought and killed Duras with a bat'leth in a duel, allowing Duras's political opponent Gowron to go chancellor (TNG: "Reunion").

A civil war erupted when the Duras'south son Toral challenged Gowron. Worf believed Gowron was the legitimate ruler and convinced his blood brother to bring forces loyal to him into battle on Gowron's behalf. Worf resigned from Starfleet to fight for Gowron and served on his blood brother's transport. Gowron won the war afterwards Starfleet exposed Romulan back up for the Firm of Duras. In appreciation of his back up, Chancellor Gowron restored Worf's accolade, allowing Kurn a seat on the High Council as the recognized brother and representative of the Firm of Mogh (TNG: "Redemption, Part I"). Once the war was over, Worf regained his Starfleet commission, recognizing that he did not fully vest to Klingon club (TNG: "Redemption, Role II").

In 2369, while the Enterprise was at Deep Space Nine, Worf investigated a claim that his father might all the same be live in a Romulan prison house camp. His begetter was not there (having indeed been killed during the battle at Khitomer), just a number of Klingons were living there with the Romulans. Unable to return home with honour, as Klingons are supposed to commit suicide rather than be taken prisoner, they stayed and strayed from their way of life. Worf'south visit had a profound effect on the children of the prisoners and many chose to leave with him (TNG: Birthright).

Worf's visit to the campsite caused him to reconsider his ain beliefs. He visited the monastery at Boreth to meditate. One day, a homo appeared before him claiming to exist Kahless the Unforgettable who had returned to lead the Empire once again. Worf was willing to consider the idea that Kahless was genuine because he believed the Klingons had lost their ways. Gowron was skeptical. He questioned Kahless virtually details of his memories, which Kahless could not think, and then challenged Kahless to combat, defeating him easily. The loss forced the clerics to reveal that they had created a clone of Kahless and implanted ancient scriptures of Kahless's battles as his memories. Despite this, Worf became convinced that the Klingons would make a jump of faith and accept him as the legitimate heir of Kahless. He convinced the Klingons to appoint the new Kahless as Emperor. While existent power remained with Gowron equally head of government, the Emperor would be the formal head of country and teach the stories of Kahless. Gowron was incited to keep with this arrangement when Worf threatened in private otherwise to oppose him publicly, which Gowron, even so not fully in control of the Empire, could not beget. (TNG: "Rightful Heir").

Worf avoided romantic attachments with non-Klingons during his starting time few years onboard the Enterprise-D. As Worf explained to both Commander Riker and Guinan, he felt that non-Klingon females would be too frail, and that he would take to restrain himself too much. He somewhen adult strong feelings for Counselor Deanna Troi, and explored a relationship with her for a fourth dimension, which at times strained his relationship with her onetime romantic interest, Commander Riker. Worf and Troi seemed to end their human relationship following the destruction of the Enterprise-D at Veridian Three and Worf'southward reassignment to Deep Space Nine.

Deep Space Nine [edit]

In 2371, he was promoted lieutenant commander (Star Expedition Generations). Subsequently the destruction of the Enterprise-D, Worf took an extended leave to evaluate his time to come. He was at a monastery on the Klingon colony of Boreth when he was ordered to get to Deep Space ix to advise Captain Sisko when a Klingon fleet massed at the station. When he arrived, he was met by former Enterprise-D crew member and Deep Space Nine Primary of Operations Miles O'Brien. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior").

Worf learned that the Klingons were planning to invade Cardassia considering of a insurrection which they had been led to believe was engineered by the Dominion. Worf reluctantly informed Sisko, knowing this would jeopardize his status in the empire. Afterwards the invasion had begun, Gowron traveled to DS9 to ask Worf to bring together him in battle. Gowron believed the Federation was unworthy of Worf'south loyalty considering they would not fight the Dominion. Worf felt the war was incorrect and he could not support information technology. Gowron punished him by reinstating Worf'southward discommendation, just this time executing it to the full degree, by stripping him and his family unit of his honor, lands, and titles, effectively bringing down the House of Mogh.

Worf submitted his resignation but Sisko rejected it considering he still needed him. He had decided to rescue the members of the Cardassian quango from certain decease at the easily of the Klingons. In doing and then, he was able to prove that in that location was no Dominion involvement past verifying their identities. The Klingons attacked the station in order to capture the quango members merely withdrew as Starfleet ships approached, fearing a war on two fronts.

At the end of the immediate crisis, Sisko convinced Worf to join the crew every bit Strategic Operations officer. In this role, he would coordinate all Starfleet activeness in the Bajoran sector and human activity as executive officer of the USS Defiant, pregnant he had to adapt to the requirements and obligations that came with the red "command personnel" uniform. For the kickoff months, Worf had difficulties adjusting to life on the station, unintentionally overstepping his boundaries by interim as he did on the Enterprise, putting him for a while at odds with Chief of Security Odo. For Worf, the station's life seemed just too much 'grey', subsequently requesting to relocate his quarters aboard Defiant.

Later the Klingon civil state of war, Kurn had gained a seat on the Loftier Council. Worf's opposition to the state of war confronting Cardassia cost Kurn his seat on the council. Four months later, he arrived at DS9 seeking aid from his brother to perform a ritual to die with award. He felt that the ritual, which involved Worf killing him, was the just way to restore his honor. Initially disregarding orders from Sisko non to carry out the award killing, Worf failed in his starting time attempt to perform the ritual and later found he could not bring himself to do so again, every bit he had taken on a human feature of morality and would consider information technology murdering his blood brother. Worf arranged for his blood brother to have cosmetic surgery and his retention wiped so he could start a new life with no ties to the House of Mogh. Kurn now has the identity of Rodek, who believes he lost his memory after beingness striking by a plasma discharge (DS9 episode "Sons of Mogh"). When Rodek sees Worf, he asks him whether he is family. Worf bitterly replies that he has no family unit.

Afterward a twelvemonth of state of war between the Federation and the Klingons, Worf joined a team sent to investigate claims that Gowron was a changeling in disguise. Worf nearly killed Gowron in gainsay merely at the concluding moment the impostor was revealed to be disguised as Gowron'due south military adviser General Martok. The discovery helped restore peace between the Federation and the Klingons and to Worf again being shunned by Gowron for not having killed him when he had the chance, reaffirming his dishonor. (DS9: "Broken Link", "Apocalypse Ascent").

In early 2373, Worf became involved with DS9 science officer Jadzia Dax, a Trill adult female. She was familiar with Klingon customs due to the experience of the Dax symbiont's previous host, Curzon. She was the starting time non-Klingon that Worf could "physically" be with in the traditional Klingon way, although it all the same left bruises, cuts and broken basic .

While on a mission to the Gamma Quadrant, Worf was captured by the Dominion and sent to a Jem'Hadar 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 circular of combat with each of the guards in turn. He earned the respect and admiration of Martok and even of the guards because he would not yield. Once the prisoners escaped, they managed to warn the station virtually the Bashir-changeling.

Upon their render, Martok was assigned command of the Klingon detachment on Deep Space Nine and command of the IKS Rotarran. Martok asked Worf to be his first officer. The ship had suffered many losses to the Dominion, and morale was low. Martok's refusal to engage the enemy, due to his Rule incarceration, made things worse. Worf challenged him for command, but immune Martok to win and retain control. This led to Martok regaining his warrior'southward courage and, with renewed vigor, he led the coiffure to their start victory against the Dominion. Understanding what Worf had done, Martok thanked him for reminding him of his duty as a soldier and offered him a place in his firm equally his brother. By joining the House of Martok, Worf's status in the empire was restored (albeit the Business firm of Mogh remains stricken). Worf's son, Alexander, was also assigned to the Rotarran afterwards joining the Klingon Defense Force. Though Worf was initially estranged by his now adult son, and skeptical of his son's want to serve the Empire, he somewhen reconciled with him, and his son joined the House of Martok as well. Worf continued to serve on the Rotarran afterwards Sisko withdrew from DS9 at the showtime of the Dominion War.

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. The entry of the Klingon ships turned the tide and immune the Defiant to interruption through and retake the station (DS9: "Favor the Bold", "Sacrifice of Angels").

Having helped liberate the station, Worf and Jadzia decided to become married. The hymeneals was a traditional Klingon ceremony which included a series of trials on Jadzia's office in club to gain the approval of Martok'due south wife to join the House of Martok. This almost ended in disaster, equally the free-spirited Jadzia felt forced into a position rather than taking the thing seriously enough. Eventually, realizing its importance to Worf and counseled past Sisko that she needed to mature, Jadzia yielded and she was allowed to marry Worf. (DS9: "You Are Cordially Invited").

In the DS9 episode "Change of Middle", Worf prematurely ended a mission to contact a Cardassian informant inside the Dominion in lodge to save his injured married woman. The informant was subsequently executed by the Dominion, causing Captain Sisko to officially caution that Starfleet might not grant Worf his own command after this incident (being some other official reprimand in Worf's records of consequence). Even so, Sisko added that, had he been forced to cull between his duty and his wife, he would have washed the same thing.

By late 2374, Worf and Jadzia were married less than a yr when they decided to try to have a child, despite the extreme difficulties posed by the disparate biologies of Trill and Klingons. While Worf was abroad during a mission, Jadzia visited the Bajoran temple on the station where she was attacked and killed by an conflicting possessing the body of Gul Dukat, who had come aboard the station to destroy an Orb of the Prophet. (DS9: "Time'south Orphan", "Tears of the Prophets")

In 2375, Worf led a mission to destroy a Dominion shipyard. He dedicated this mission to his late married woman, in lodge to ensure her entry into Sto-Vo-kor, the Valhalla-similar realm of the honored dead, being joined by Quark, Bashir and O'Brien (DS9: "Shadows and Symbols").

Julian Bashir was able to save the Dax symbiont, which was sent back to the Trill homeworld to be rejoined with a new host aboard the USS Destiny. When the symbiont's wellness worsened, the Dax symbiont was implanted into a new host named Ezri Dax, who was the banana ship's counselor. She had not been trained to be a host, but she was the only available unjoined Trill aboard. Ezri had difficulty making the transition and sought out Ben Sisko on World. She helped him on his mission and then returned to DS9 with him. She accepted his request to stay on equally station counselor.

Worf avoided Ezri at first, confused about what to practise nearly this new situation. Her quick posting to DS9 led to a number of awkward moments between her and Worf, since the new host carried all the memories of their former hosts but had its ain distinct personality, despite their shared by. Also, it was considered taboo on Trill for new hosts to fraternize with old lovers. After a brief rekindling of their feelings for one another, they decided that things were just too different and, eventually, the two settled into a comfortable friendship, with Ezri eventually becoming romantically involved with Julian Bashir (who previously had feelings for Jadzia). This allowed Worf to accept 'his' Jadzia to have her place into Sto-Vo-Kor.

In 2375, Worf became concerned with the leadership of Gowron. The entry of the Breen into the war on the side of the Dominion temporarily sidelined the Federation and Romulan fleets, which proved vulnerable to Breen weaponry. This left the Klingons alone to carry on the fight as their ships were non affected in the same manner. Gowron assumed direct command because he feared Martok's growing popularity and devised a plan to ignominy Martok. He began ordering Martok on almost-suicidal missions against Dominion forces, hoping that a string of defeats would weaken Martok's popularity and ignominy him equally a military leader. Recognizing that Gowron was jeopardizing the entire war endeavor for the sake of his personal pride, Worf tried to convince Martok that he should challenge Gowron for the leadership. Afterwards Martok refused, Worf challenged Gowron himself, citing his faulty battle planning, his dishonorable conduct in trying to ignominy Martok, and poor strategies at the later stages of the Rule War. After a cursory battle, Worf killed Gowron; by right, he was proclaimed the new chancellor of the Klingon High Council. However, Worf declined in favor of Martok (DS9: "Tacking Into the Current of air"). Ironically, information technology was again by Worf'southward hand the next chancellor of the Empire was decided (having slain Duras to allow Gowron's rising later One thousand'mpec's death), and the 2nd time he and Gowron dueled, this time finishing Gowron off. As a token of respect, Worf performed the Klingon Expiry Howl later on Gowron's death, substantially forgiving his misdeeds and recognizing a worthy warrior was on his style to Sto-Vo-Kor.

After the decision of the Dominion State of war, Worf was offered the position of the Federation ambassador to Qo'noS (the Klingon homeworld), as depicted in the Star Trek: Deep Infinite Nine serial finale "What You lot Go out Behind".

Worf continued to appear in TNG films, which is explained in diverse means, such equally existence rescued from the damaged Defiant during a battle with the Borg (Star Trek: Beginning Contact) and taking leave that led to him traveling on the Enterprise (Star Expedition: Coup). Star Trek: Nemesis was released after the conclusion of DS9 and Worf's status at this time is unclear. Worf attended the nuptials of William Riker and Deanna Troi on Globe and traveled to Betazed with the Enterprise crew for the second hymeneals ceremony when the ship was diverted to investigate positronic signals from a system near the Romulan border.

Alternate versions [edit]

In 2370 after returning from a tournament, Worf encountered a quantum fissure and began shifting into different realities. In one reality, he became involved with Deanna Troi while recovering from a spinal injury. He asked permission from Commander Riker to courtroom Troi. Past the time the events in this episode takes place, he has been married to her for 2 years. In another reality, Worf is first officer of the Enterprise, serving under Capt. Riker, who assumed control after Capt. Picard was killed past the Borg. He is married to Deanna Troi and has a daughter Shannara Rozhenko and a son Eric Christopher Rozhenko. However, she doesn't know anything about Alexander (TNG: "Parallels").

In an alternating hereafter, Alexander becomes a diplomat instead of a warrior. He wanted to cease the feuding among the slap-up houses and declared that the Firm of Mogh would no longer engage in blood feuds. Worf warned him that this was a show of weakness but Alexander persisted. Shortly afterwards Alexander's determination, he witnesses Worf being killed on the floor of the High Quango. Had he get a warrior, he thinks perhaps he could have saved his father's life. Eventually, he finds a way to travel back in time to try to prevent these events from occurring by convincing his younger cocky to railroad train to become a warrior while nether the assumed proper name of K'Mtar, but Worf convinces him to render to the future with assurances that he has already changed his own history (TNG: "Firstborn").

In an alternate future, Worf had been reluctant to become involved with Troi and her subsequent decease led to a rift betwixt Riker and himself every bit a result. He afterwards served as a member of the Klingon Loftier Quango and was governor of the Klingon colony of H'atoria with his swain Klingons possibly at the brink of war with the Federation after conquering the Romulan Star Empire. All the same, he helps his old crewmates with the threat of an anti-time eruption, and Riker makes a conciliatory gesture to his old friend, asking for his help on the Enterprise bridge during the situation, which Worf accepts (TNG: "All Expert Things").

While on a mission in the Gamma Quadrant, the Defiant detects an energy bulwark surrounding a planet in a nearby solar system. When they enter the barrier, the ship is damaged and they notice a settlement with 8,000 people who are mostly man. When they investigate, they learn they have been expected. The settlers explain they are the descendants of the Defiant crew. In a couple of days, when the Defiant tries to leave orbit, they will be thrown back in time two centuries and crash land on the planet. Worf learns he married and raised a family. He meets his descendant Brota who leads the Sons of Mogh. The members are descendants of Worf and Jadzia and others who choose to join them. They follow Klingon customs equally start taught to them by Worf (DS9: "Children of Time").

In the mirror universe, Worf leads the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance as Regent. Afterwards Terran rebels take over Terok Nor, Worf tries to recapture the station but is defeated by the rebels who have a new ship based on the design of the Defiant from the prime universe. Enraged, Worf claimed he lost simply considering he had been betrayed, with the Mirror Garak blaming Intendant Kira Nerys as the probable source (DS9: "Shattered Mirror"). Eventually, Worf captured her and Thou Nagus Zek who crossed over to this universe to open new markets. Worf agreed to let Zek go in exchange for a cloaking device, but the device was sabotaged and his ship was disabled, allowing the Terran rebels to capture him (DS9: "The Emperor's New Cloak").

Books and comics [edit]

Worf'due south character is further developed in non-canon media. In Star Trek, the non-live action fabric is not considered a role of the character'southward story, although it may use elements from the television and picture show narrative. In other words, live activeness appearances don't take into business relationship the stories written in novels for example.

Co-ordinate to the Pocket Books novels set later Nemesis, Worf takes over William T. Riker's position of showtime officer aboard the Enterprise-Eastward. Co-ordinate to Expiry in Winter, Worf was to transfer with Riker to the Titan, but after Data's death, Picard asks Worf to stay aboard the Enterprise, and Worf obliges. In early on 2380 in Resistance, Starfleet Command approves Picard'southward request to make Worf the permanent first officer, simply Worf refuses as he doubts his command skills (due to his selection of love over duty in "Change of Heart"). Soon later, however, Worf successfully leads the rescue of Picard from another Borg crisis, and is sufficiently convinced to accept the permanent promotion. As of 2385 in the novel miniseries Star Trek: The Fall, Worf continues to remain showtime officer of the Enterprise-East. According to the Titan series, he also adopted Data's true cat Spot.

Author Edward Cambro ranks Worf as the 13th best Star Trek character overall,^[25] and remarks how Worf had to "walk the line between two cultures, neither of which he entirely understood (nowhere is this more apparent than in episodes like "Sins of the Begetter," "Redemption II," and "Rules of Appointment")." Said cultures being Klingons and human.^[25] Then author Sara Schmidt ranks Worf the 7th virtually bonny person in the Star Trek universe, in between T'Pol (Enterprise) and Michael Burnham (Star Trek: Discovery),^[26] and in another commodity, she goes on to suggest ideas for a Worf spin-off, maxim a young Worf would be "interesting to explore", too as a "series nearly Worf'due south experiences as a Federation ambassador to Qo'noS."^[27] Dusty Stowe then ranks the top viii most powerful characters of Star Trek and places Worf as the most powerful between Spock and Q.^[28]

The lyrics are a parody on why Worf would non make a expert captain, since he is not agape to die and how non everyone feels the same about that. It even includes a rap from what sounds similar Worf himself, toward the end.
