Biography[]

Early life[]

Worf was born on theKlingon homeworldQo'noS on May 23,2340. He was named after his grandfather,GeneralWorf.

His father,Mogh, head of a noblehouse, was an influential starship captain who served as first officer underK'mpec, and became a friend and ally during K'mpec's career on the KlingonHigh Council; his mother,Kaasin, was a master of themok'bara art of combat. He had one younger brother,Kurn.

By the age of six, Worf was already proficient with thebat'leth, a traditional Klingon bladedweapon. When his father and mother were given the task of rooting out atraitor on the outpost onKhitomer, Worf insisted on accompanying them.

Mogh did not find the traitor intime to save the Khitomer outpost from being devastated in a brutal and unprovoked assault from theRomulan Star Empire, in response to false intelligence indicating weapons of mass destruction were being developed on Khitomer. Worf was one of the few survivors of the massacre. His infant brother,Kurn, was left behind on Q'onoS in the care of a family friend andKlingon Imperial Intelligence agent namedLorgh.

The first vessel to respond to the outposts distress call was the Federation starshipUSSIntrepid. Worf was discovered buried in the rubble of his family's residence by a Starfleet officer namedSergey Rozhenko, and it was determined that he had suffered some brain damage, losing part of his memory. Rozhenko spent much of his off-duty time with Worf, aiding in his recovery. After learning from another survivor, Worf's nursemaidKahlest, that the boy's life may be in danger if he stayed in theKlingon Empire, Rozhenko convinced his wifeHelena that they should adopt the boy. Lorgh used his connections in the Empire to ensure the adoption's legality, and began to raise Kurn himself. (TLEnovel:The Art of the Impossible)

The Rozhenkos raised Worf on the farming colony ofGault and onEarth inRussia and the city ofMinsk, with their own sonNikolai "Simon" Rozhenko. In his childhood, Worf saved Nikolai from drowning in a river. (TNG -Starfleet Academynovel:Worf's First Adventure;TNG -Shadowheartcomics: "My Brother's Keeper", "The Prince of Madness")

Note on two slight discrepancies: 1)Worf's First Adventure gave Worf's brother the first name "Simon," as it was published prior to "Homeward"'s production. 2) The city of Minsk is actually the capital of Belarus, and therefore, not actually a part of Russia. However, the details of the political structure of eastern Europe in the 24th Century are not known. In theMy Brother's Keeper, it is unclear if Nikolai was drowning on either Gault or in Russia.

While living on Gault, Worf, alongside his brother Nikolai, was active on the local soccer team, serving as team captain. Worf was often mocked by other players, but was held back by his brother, who defended him.In2353, during a tense game, a crucial play caused Worf and an opponent named Mikel to leap up and attempt to hit a high-flying ball with their heads. The two impacted, and force of the impact was such that, while Worf did not even feel the hit, Mikel's neck was broken. Mikel died the next day; the tragic accident prompted Worf to become very restrained in his behavior and emotional outbursts for the rest of his life, mindful of Human frailty. (DS9episode: "Let He Who Is Without Sin...";TNG -Shadowheartcomic: "My Brother's Keeper")

In2355, when his foster parents arranged for him to stay at his cousins on the Klingon homeworld. He visited theGreat Domes of Qo'noS and upon gazing at them, he stated that he felt that he had finally came home even if his cousins didn't want to have anything to do with him.(DS9episode: "The Sword of Kahless")

Starfleet Academy[]

In the year2357, Worf and Nikolai enrolled inStarfleet Academy. Upon arriving at the Academy, aBrikar cadet namedZak Kebron picked a fight with Worf believing that Klingons had no right to join Starfleet. Rather than expel the two students before they could even report to their first classes, the Academy decided to make the pair roommates, forcing them to work out their differences.

Worf soon joined a study group that originally included his brother, cadetsMark McHenry andTania Tobias of Earth, andSoleta ofVulcan. After Worf and Kebron came to state of mutual understanding and respect (if not actual friendship), Kebron joined the group as well.

When the squad was told that they were going on a training exercise onPrometheus Station, the cadets had no reason to believe that anything was amiss. They unexpectedly came under attack from aRomulan warbird and, suddenly without acommanding officer, were forced to work together to save each other's lives. In the end, however, none of it was real. The real training exercise was not onPrometheus Station, but on an Academyholodeck.

During his time at the academy, Worf's overshadowing behavior to help his brother caused friction between them, especially during fights with other cadets.The experience made Worf's brother realize that Starfleet was not the place for him, and he returned to Russia and eventually Gault. (TNG -Starfleet Academynovel:Worf's First Adventure;TNG -Shadowheartcomics: "The Lion and the Lamb", "Dealers in Darkness")

During his time at the academy, other people would give Worf a hard time regarding his heritage. This led his ancestry to become a "sensitive issue." (TNGvideo game:The Transinium Challenge)

K'Ehleyr[]

A few months later, Worf's squad (dubbed the "Dream Team"), were assigned as liaisons to the colony world ofDantar IV, a Federation/Klingon co-venture that was having troubles. Once on Dantar, Worf met a Klingon emissary namedK'Ehleyr, to whom he formed an immediate attraction.

When an unknown force attacked the colony, there were not enough evacuation ships for everyone. Worf, his squad, and a squad of Klingons under the command of K'Ehleyr stayed behind so the civilians could escape. Worf and K'Ehleyr worked together and got their respective squads to work together as well. During this time, Worf's attraction to K'Ehleyr grew. (TNG -Starfleet Academynovel:Line of Fire)

After Soleta captured one of their attackers, a Brikar namedBaan, Worf would not allow the Klingons to incarcerate Kebron simply because of his ancestry. After rescue came in the form of theUSSRepulse, it was revealed to the cadets that the Brikar government had briefly declared war against the Federation.

Worf and K'Ehleyr parted company in the transporter room of theRepulse, and Worf said that he did not believe that the two of them would meet again. K'Ehleyr disagreed. (TNG -Starfleet Academynovel:Survival)

It turned out that K'Ehleyr was correct. The two would meet more than once in the coming years, and engage in a physical relationship. K'Ehleyr hid from Worf the fact that she became pregnant and gave birth to his son,Alexander.

Starfleet officer[]

USSAldrin[]

Worf served as anensign aboard theUSSAldrin from the years2361 to2364. Also on theAldrin were "Dream Team" alumni Soleta and Tania Tobias.

In2363, Worf was a part of anaway team on the planetKalandra Minor that was attacked byRomulans. This was the first time Worf had encountered the race since his parents' deaths all those years ago, and he did not hesitate to use lethal force against those that he encountered. (NF -No Limitsshort story: "Revelations")

Enterprise-D[]

In 2364, Worf transferred to the Federation's new flagship, the USSEnterprise (NCC-1701-D) with the rank ofLieutenant, junior grade under the command ofCaptainJean-Luc Picard. (TNGepisode: "Encounter at Farpoint") Although he had applied for a position in security, Picard initially appointed Worf bridge watch officer, whose duty would be to fill in where needed on other stations, reasoning that such a role would give Worf important experience for his future career in Starfleet. (TNGnovel:The Buried Age)

Worf's life changed quickly aboard theEnterprise. In late 2364, he became the ship'sChief of security after the death of the previous position holder, LieutenantTasha Yar. (TNGepisodes: "Skin of Evil", "The Child") By 2366, he was given the rank of fullLieutenant. (TNGepisode: "Evolution";WizKidsmodule:Attack Wing)

In2365, Worf was briefly reunited with K'Ehleyr on her mission to prevent a Klingon sleeperIKST'Ong from attacking lightly defended Federation colonies. After the mission, Worf and K'Ehleyr parted ways with Worf saying he would not be complete without her. (TNGepisode: "The Emissary")

Earlier that same year, Picard learned that Worf carried 14 weapons (mostly hidden) on his person while on duty. (TNGnovel:Strike Zone)

In2366, he was reunited with his brother, Kurn, who was now serving in theKlingon Defense Force. Kurn informed Worf that their father, Mogh, was accused of being the traitor that aided the Romulans at Khitomer all those years ago. Mogh's accuser wasDuras, son of Ja'rod. It was later revealed thatJa'rod himself had been the traitor, and that theKlingon High Council was covering up the truth behind Khitomer to protect Duras' politically powerful family, theHouse of Duras. Worf accepteddiscommendation to protect theKlingon Empire and prevent a civil war. (TNGepisode: "Sins of the Father")

When K'Ehleyr discovered the truth in2367, she confronted Duras and Duras murdered her, leaving Worf with the young son that he only just discovered that he had. Worf slew Duras under the KlingonRight of Vengeance aboard Duras' ship; only by virtue of the intervention of Captain Picard, then serving as Klingon Arbiter of Succession, was Worf spared a court-martial and dishonorable discharge from Starfleet. (TNGepisode: "Reunion")

Worf was then part of the Commander Riker's shuttle crew of theAlbert Einstein toBeta Hydros Four to help treat theZelaznan fever breakout. When theAlbert Einstein was sucked into a vortex, Riker was seriously wounded, and Worf was left in charge of the shuttle crew. He then ordered EnsignCrusher to proceed at best speed back to Federation space. Five days later, Worf and the crew came across a structure composed of various ships. Worf was cautious about approaching the structure. When the shuttle got caught in atractor beam Worf suggested reversing engines, but then had the crew arm themselves. When they were taken aboard, Worf and the crew met aBetazoid man namedDarios Appolene. Worf demanded an explanation of the structure and its people.(TNG -The Star Lostcomics: "The Flight of the Albert Einstein", "Mourning Star", "Trapped")

Worf was then assigned as a liaison to the nation ofDorossh onAllios IV to look over their history. Unfortunately, after his tour, Worf voluntary allowed himself to be taken prisoner byWorikk and the Dorosshians for supposedly assassinating elderKalkass. During his time there, Worf was brutally tortured by the Dorosshians even as theEnterprise-D negotiated his release. Worf saw that he was becoming dishonored and that he would be sent toGre'thor. Worf then attempted to fight his way out but was subdued. Just as he was about to be executed, Worf was saved when Captain Picard and elder Kalkass appeared before his executioners. (TNG -Ghosts (TNG)comics: "Ghosts, Issue 2", "Ghosts, Issue 3", "Ghosts, Issue 5")

While theEnterprise was escorting CaptainMorgen toDaa'V to ascend to his new position as king of the planet, Worf was troubled by the presence of some of theStargazer crew, as the Klingons had a long history of tension with Daa'V and Worf was personally troubled byIdun Asmund, a human raised by Klingons as a 'counter' to Worf's own history. Events occurred to suggest that Idun was attempting to kill Morgen after her sisterGerda had tried the same thing on theStargazer, but Worf accepted Idun's argument that the methods being used for these murders reflected a lack of honor. Eventually, the true culprit was exposed as DoctorCarter Greyhorse, the former CMO of theStargazer and Gerda's secret lover. In acknowledgement of the bond he had formed with Worf during the crisis, Morgen invited Worf to join his chosen honor guard on Daa'V after Greyhorse's actions rendered two of Morgen's original choices impractical. (TNGnovel:Reunion)

Worf and Kurn were instrumental in the accession to power ofChancellorGowron, son of M'Rel, overToral, son of Duras, in the years2367 and2368. For their assistance, Gowron restored their family name and gave Kurn a seat on the High Council. He then temporarily resigned his Starfleet commission and joined Gowron's Klingon Defense force as weapons officer aboard theIKSBortas (TNGepisode: "Redemption")

In late 2368, he began a romantic relationship with ship'sCounselorDeanna Troi that lasted close to two years. (TNGepisodes: "Ethics", "Parallels")

Late in 2368 (stardate 45934.7), Worf was set on the diplomat's path when Picard chose him to handle negotiations in a dispute betweenRigelians andKaylar on the Federationcolony ofVotar VII. After choosing EnsignRo Laren to assist him, Worf spoke with the involved parties to little gain and made a failed non-lethal assault on a Kaylar-held dam. Using the earlyFrench diplomatTalleyrand as example, Picard suggested Worf try an alternative approach. After uncovering Rigelian duplicity, Worf threatened to abandon them to it and to cut future Federation contracts with the Rigelian group.AdministratorPahtel yielded and both sides returned to negotiations. (TNGcomic: "A Matter of Dates")

In early-2369 Worf, Geordi and Ro Laren took the shuttlecraftGoddard to receive Starfleet briefings. On their return journey the shuttle was forced to drop out of warp due tosolar flare activity and crash-landed on the planetRiat. The shuttle damaged beyond immediate repair and the planet inhospitably cold the away team sought shelter in a nearbyDracon monastery. Unfortunately the order ofmonks in the monastery had become violent and cannibalistic due toradiation from the solar flares causing a mutation in analgae in theirwater supply. The team was forced to fight the monks off several times before another shuttle from theEnterprise arrived to rescue them. (TNG -The Space Betweencomic: "Light of the Day")

In2369, Worf was instrumental in having theclone of the originalKahless the Unforgettable installed asEmperor of the Klingon Empire. (TNGepisode: "Rightful Heir")

In2370, theEnterprise-D rendezvoused with theGoddard, carrying retiredCaptainMontgomery Scott. Scott utilized the old logs of the originalUSSEnterprise and recreated the gravity slingshot that propelled theBounty 2 back through time, with theEnterprise following. Although they were able to determine the ship was in the late23rd century, Worf was unable to detect any subspace traffic on any frequency used by the Federation, Klingons, or Romulans. Later, after assuming theBorg were controlling an officer aboard theAlliance vessel they encountered, theWisdom, Worf and two of his ensigns,Porfirio andHouarner, waited to take the spy into custody. TheBorg Queen-controlledNarisianBalitor was able to take a phaser from Porifio, but Worf and Houarner were able to subdue her, allowing theEnterprise to return CaptainJames T. Kirk to theNexus and undo this reality. (Star Treknovel:Engines of Destiny)

Later that year, Worf defied orders to report to the bridge when theEnterprise came under attack, instead going straight to Deanna Troi's quarters. Fortunately his instincts were correct and his actions saved Deanna's life, he was reprimanded by Captain Picard for defying orders never the less. Later when Deanna had recovered, he walked in on her and Commander Riker having a pillow fight, dropping theflowers he had bought her in the process, the two were able to reassure Worf they were just acting as friends as Riker departed on a date leaving Worf and Deanna to their romantic evening. (TNG -The Space Betweencomic: "Strategy")

By the time theEnterprise was lost on the planetVeridian III in2371, Worf had risen to the rank ofLieutenant Commander. (TNGmovie:Star Trek Generations)

Shortly after the destruction of theEnterprise-D, Worf proposed marriage to Deanna, and she accepted. The engagement was short lived. After a harrowing experience involving Romulan known asSela, Deanna realized that she still had feelings for her first love,CommanderWilliam T. Riker, while Worf concluded that he was emotionally unsuitable as a long-term partner for Deanna. The two broke off their relationship, but remained friends. (TNGnovel:Imzadi II)

Deep Space 9 and theDefiant[]

After the destruction of theEnterprise and his break-up with Deanna, Worf took a leave of absence from Starfleet and traveled to the Klingon monastery onBoreth. It was there that he received his orders to report toStarbaseDeep Space 9 in theBajor sector in early2372. Klingon Chancellor Gowron had amassed a large fleet of ships for reasons unknown, and the station's commander, CaptainBenjamin Sisko, had requested Worf's assistance in discovering the truth behind the Klingons' paranoia and to talk sense into them.

When Worf discovered that the Klingons were planning on attackingCardassia, Worf relayed this information to Sisko. Gowron was willing to forgive Worf for this, but only if he accompanied Gowron for the assault on Cardassia. When Worf refused, Gowron stripped his family of land and title, effectively restoring his state of discommendation.

Sisko offered Worf the position of station'sstrategic operations officer, coordinating Federation assets throughout the bustling Bajor sector, as well as the position offirst officer of theUSSDefiant -- a switch to the command track. Worf accepted. (DS9episode &novelization:The Way of the Warrior;STreference:Star Trek 101).

Following atime-travel mission toDS K-7 in2268, Worf then participated in removing DS9's tribbles using a phaser rifle. (DS9episode &novelization:Trials and Tribble-ations,DS9comic: "Nobody Knows the Tribbles I've Seen")

Worf served in those positions for four years, throughout theDominion War. He also commanded theDefiant during theSecond Borg incursion where theDefiant was almost destroyed but still salvageable. (TNGmovie,novelization &comic adaptation:Star Trek: First Contact)

Worf helped rescue GeneralMartok, son of Urthog, who had been replaced by aFounder, from aDominion internment camp in 2373. The two became fast friends, and Worf eventually underwent a ritual making himself Martok's brother by blood and a member of theHouse of Martok.

He briefly commanded his son Alexander, who had joined the Defense Force, when Worf was temporarily attached toGeneral Martok's vessel, theIKSRotarran. In early 2374, Worf married StarfleetLieutenant CommanderJadzia Dax, a JoinedTrill; the union lasted until her untimely death in late in December of that year. During the war, Worf and Jadzia served together on an important mission to extract a Cardassian defector; when Jadzia's life was endangered, Worf chose to save her instead of the defector, earning a majorreprimand/permanent demerit due to "dereliction of duty". It was Captain Sisko's opinion the reprimand might prevent Worf from ever earning command of his own ship, but that as a man Sisko could not fault Worf for rescuing his wife. On stardate 51604, a disciplinary note was entered into Worf's record, stating that he was therefore "ineligible for any further promotion or any permanent command position." (DS9episodes: "You Are Cordially Invited", "Change of Heart", "Tears of the Prophets",STvideo game:Starship Creator,STwebsite:StarTrek.com)

Ambassador Worf[]

Towards the end of the war, Worf was instrumental in the installation of Martok as the new Klingon Chancellor, after Gowron's dishonorable actions caused the deaths of many Klingon warriors. Gowron had taken personal command of Defense Force assets on the front lines, and was purposefully launching suicidal and wasteful attacks in an attempt to discredit the popular Martok, whom Gowron had come to see as a threat to his power base. Worf challenged Gowron to a duel for his actions and killed him; Worf then had the right to become Chancellor himself, but instead chose to bestow the office upon Martok.

After the war was over in late2375, Martok 'thanked' Worf by requesting that he be named as the newFederation Ambassador to the Klingon Empire. Worf had lived in between the two societies for his entire life. He was responsible for the installation of the last two Chancellors and an Emperor. Furthermore, both K'Ehleyr and Jadzia's previous host,Curzon Dax, had held the position. He was the perfect choice. (DS9episode &novelization:What You Leave Behind)

Before Worf could take on the position, he had to assist Martok in securing his position as Chancellor. A coup engineered by the KlingonsMorjod andGothmara destroyed theGreat Hall and threw Qo'noS into chaos in early 2376. It was only whenEzri Dax brought the legendarySword of Kahless into Martok's possession that Martok's position was solidified. (DS9 -The Left Hand of Destinynovels:Book One,Book Two)

Worf's first assignment as Ambassador brought him to the world oftaD, Klingon for "frozen," to settle a dispute between the indigenous population, who had appealed for recognition from the Federation after overthrowing the local Klingon government, and the Empire, who wished to have taD back under their own control.

With the assistance of his new attache,Giancarlo Wu, and the crew of theIKSGorkon Worf, adapting to the needs of his new post, came up with a solution that pleased all parties and avoided bloodshed, installing a Klingon engineer from theGorkon crew as a ceremonial emperor while granting practical autonomy to the populace. His new career was off to a good start. (TNGnovel:Diplomatic Implausibility)

Following the discovery of aTholian attack on a Klingon colony in2268, Worf oversaw the first peace talks between theTholian Assembly and the Klingon Empire. (SCEeBook:Foundations, Book Three)

Worf's time as ambassador was shortlived. During the time post-war, Worf's duties as ambassador slowed to managerial and Targ Hunts. While awaiting the arrival of a liaison to Andor for a suitable punishment for an altercation, he was confronted by Ezri Dax. As it turns out, the day she approached him was the day that Jadiza had perished and Worf was acting strange. Through her role as psychologist, she gets Worf to admit that he only took up the position of ambassador to run away from his lingering feelings of Jadiza within Erzi. Ultimately, after rebuking the liaison, Worf decided to return to Federation space, intending on contacting both Martok and Picard. (Waypoint 2019 Special)

During 2376, Worf was given temporary command of the Defiant-classUSSAvenger, at first to protect the Ba'ku and later to stop Sela in assisting Toral. (STvideo game:Armada)

The Wardens[]

Also in 2377 Worf was one of the many victims of theWardens plot to take over thegalaxy. Whilst theKlingon High Council, under Warden control, prepared to go to war with the Federation, the Wardens kidnapped Worf in an effort to prevent him from defusing the situation. Fortunately, the crew of theUSSIncursion were at hand and promptly rescued Worf from captivity, delivering him to the Council chambers where he quickly moved to dissuade Chancellor Martok from launching the planned attack. (STvideo game:Away Team)

Back with Starfleet[]

When Captain Benjamin Sisko and the crew of theUSSTheseus witnessed the death of numerousCrystalline Entities, they detected a particle trace found only atSarkadesh, a planet deep in Klingon space. They traveled to Qo'noS to ask permission to visit said planet, but their request was denied. Seeing no other alternative, Sisko disobeyed the Emperor and went there anyway, asking that Worf would accompany him. While Sisko and an away team beamed up to the planet, Worf was left in charge of the bridge, having to handle a horde of Klingon ships that had been sent to arrest them. Thanks to his cunning, Worf was able to avoid any casualties, and, upon the Captain's return, he decided to resign from his post as ambassador and officially rejoin Starfleet. (ST -Godshockcomic: "Part 2")

Promotion[]

After serving as the Captain of theEnterprise for many years, Captain Picard was promoted to the rank of Admiral in order to lead the mission to assist the Romulans in evacuating their home system. After his own promotion Picard suggested that Worf be promoted to Captain and given command of theEnterprise. Some in Starfleet objected due to Worf's reprimand for his actions onSoukara many years ago, but Picard argued that the experience had made Worf a better officer and that his service since then had been exemplary. Starfleet agreed with Picard, and promoted Worf to Captain right after Picard's promotion. (Picardnovel:The Last Best Hope)

Path to the 25th century[]

After leaving Starfleet and returning to the Klingon homeworld, in2385 Worf began a relationship with Grilka. The next year, he marriedGrilka. (STwebsite:The Path to 2409)

In2387, Worf accepted a provisional commission in the Klingon Defense Force, and was eventually granted the rank of general. He led a task force to stopNero's quest for vengeance following the destruction ofRomulus. The task force was quickly overwhelmed and Nero demanded that Worf deliver himself as a captive. Worf agreed, but uses the surrender as cover to lead an EVA mission onto Nero's vessel. The Klingons met with initial success, while Worf made his way to the command center to find Nero. Worf rejected Nero's attempts to persuade him, and was impaled by the vessel's Borg-enhanced mechanisms. Alive but only tenuously, Worf was beamed to theEnterprise as part of a ploy to lower the Starfleet vessel's shields, and was immediately transported to sickbay. (TNGcomic: "Countdown, Number Four")

It took some time for Worf to fully recover from the wounds received onboard theNarada. On stardate 65548.43, Grilka gave birth to Worf's second child, a boy namedK'Dhan. (STwebsite:The Path to 2409)

Sometime prior to2401, Worf again became aFederation Ambassador to the Klingon Empire. In that year, he was among a number of retired and current Starfleet officers who urged theFederation Council to reconsider their position on theKlingon-Gorn War. These veterans argued that the UFP should join the Klingons in fighting theUndine, but the Council was not swayed. After the session closed, Worf resigned his position and returned to Qo'noS for the final time, saying that he could no longer serve a regime who would willingly endanger its people and that he must follow the path of honor. (STwebsite:The Path to 2409)

In2409, Worf was often found in theFirst City, seeing to the business of theHouse of Martok and assisting young warriors. Later, he traveled toNew Romulus to act as a liaison between Klingon and Federation forces assisting theRomulan Republic with the activation of anIconian gateway discovered there. (STOmissions: "Friend or Foe", "Bringing Down the House", "Sphere of Influence")

In2410, after the defeat of anUndine planet killer over Qo'noS by a joint Federation/Klingon/Romulan fleet, Worf was present for the signing of the armistice that ended theFederation-Klingon War of 2405-2410. (STOmission: "Surface Tension")

Alternate realities[]

A major tangent of theprime timeline was created in2373. Called theFirst Splinter timeline, thisalternate reality'sWorf was an influential player in Federation politics and also the battle to stop theDevidiantemporal apocalypse. (Coda)

Other alternate realities[]

In analternate timeline created when theUSSEnterprise-C was accidentally sent through atemporal rift from2344 to2366, the Federation had been at war with theKlingon Empire for almost 20 years as theEnterprise-C's disappearance resulted in the destruction of the Klingon colonyNarendra III. In this timeline, Worf was not a member of theEnterprise crew. The positions of tactical officer and security chief were held byLieutenantTasha Yar in 2366. (TNGepisode: "Yesterday's Enterprise")

In ananti-time future experienced byJean-Luc Picard, Worf was thegovernor of theH'atoria colony in2395. He held great antipathy forAdmiralWilliam T. Riker in that timeline, stemming from the death ofDeanna Troi in2375. (TNGepisode &novelization:All Good Things...)

In another alternate timeline, Worf was serving asChancellor of theKlingon Empire in2402. (TNGshort story: "Staying the Course")

In another alternate timeline in which Captain Sisko became trapped in asubspace field in2372, Worf was an influential member of the Klingon High Council in2422. (DS9episode: "The Visitor")

In another alternate timeline created by theUSSDefiant being sent back in time to the22nd century, the ship's crew, including Worf, settled onGaia IV. He and Jadzia eventually married and had several children. By2373, they had numerous descendants, includingYedrin Dax,Brota andLisa. (DS9episode: "Children of Time")

In another alternate timeline, Worf was murdered in theKlingon High Council chamber in2410 in front of his sonAlexander Rozhenko. (TNGepisode: "Firstborn")

In another alternate timeline in whichDoctorNoonien Soong's dream of widespread acceptance of artificial life in the form ofSoong-type androids was realised, Worf transferred from theEnterprise-D to Deep Space 9 in2372. (TNG -Myriad Universesnovel:Brave New World)

While returning from abat'leth tournament onForcas III in2370, Worf's shuttle, theCurie, encountered aquantum fissure and its warp engines caused a rupture in the barrier which separated onequantum reality from another. Consequently, Worf began switching places with his counterparts in different alternate realities.

In one of these realities, Worf only achieved ninth place in thebat'leth competition while, in another, he was unable to attend and his younger brotherKurn participated in his stead.

In two realities, Worf was married toDeanna Troi. In one of these, they had two young children,Eric-Christopher Rozhenko (born2367) andShannara Rozhenko (born2368), while his sonAlexander Rozhenko had never been born. In the latter reality, he was acommander and thefirst officer of theUSSEnterprise-D, which was under the command ofCaptainWilliam T. Riker asJean-Luc Picard had been killed during theBorg Incursion of 2366-2367.

In another reality in which theBorg Collective had succeeded in conquering the Federation and much of the Alpha Quadrant by 2370, theEnterprise, under Riker's command, was one of the last surviving ships. Along with Riker, Worf was one of its few remaining crewmembers. After it became one of the approximately 285,000 differentEnterprises to be sent to the same reality, Worf was killed when theBorg-infestedEnterprise was accidentally destroyed by theEnterprise indigenous to that reality. (TNGepisode: "Parallels")

In another reality, Worf was theFederation Ambassador to the Klingon Empire in 2380. By this time, he and Deanna were married and lived onQo'noS.

In another reality, Worf was ageneral in theKlingon Defense Force. Prior to 2380, he had captured theUnited Earth Space Probe Agency vesselEnterprise for theKlingon Empire and renamed it theIKSQu'. He executed the entire crew with the exception of Captain Picard, who became aslave and was kept in shackles on the ship's bridge. After theQu' arrived in theprimary universe, he opened fire on theEnterprise indigenous to that reality.

In another reality, Worf was the captain of theUSSEnterprise-E in 2380. He referred to himself as "Worf Rozhenko" and spoke anancient Klingon dialect. (TNGnovel:Q & A)

In thealternate reality created byNero and a future in whichQ brought theUSSEnterprise a hundred years into the future, Worf was Chancellor of the Klingon colony ofEarth in the 24th century. Worf was then introduced to CaptainJames T. Kirk. However, Worf was then killed by his brother Kurn and his guards, who revealed themselves to beChangeling infiltrators. (TOS -The Q Gambitcomics: "Part 2", "Part 3")
