2340
Born to an influential political family on Qo'noS in the Klingon Empire.

2346
He accompanied his family to Khitomer. A few months later, a Romulan attack on Khitomer killed everyone except Worf, or so people thought. Was rescued by Sergey Rozhenko, an engineer on the U.S.S. Intrepid. He was raised by Sergey and his wife Helena on the farm world of Gault until Worf was at least 13.

2353
At the age of 13 he was captain of his school's soccor team. During a chmampionship match, he collided heads with anopponent named Mikel and accidentally broke his neck. He died the next day. From that point on Worf decided he would practice immense restraint towards humans, who were by nature more fragile than Klingons.

2355
Sent to Qo'noS by Sergey and Helena for his initial Age of Assension Ceremony at the age of 15. He stayed with a cousin of the family but felt rejected because they felt he was too "human". He ran away to the nearby mountains. There, while undergoing the rite of Maj'Qua in the lava caves of No'Mat, the vision of the original Klingon warrior, Kahless, came to him and told him he would do something no other Klingon could.

2357
Entered Starfleet Academy with his adoptive brother Nikolai. Nikolai, finding Starfleet not to his liking, would soon quit.

2359
Began romance with half-Klingon half-human named K'Ehleyr. However, Worf ended their tryst.

2362
Was the first Klingon to graduate from Starfleet Academy.

2364
As a Lieutenant Junior Grade in command division, he was assigned to the U.S.S. Enterprise-D as relief con and tactical officer under command of Captain Jean-Luc Picard. Later that same year, he was made acting Security Chief upon the death of Lieutenant Natasha Yar.

2365
Promoted to Lieutenant and named permanent Enterprise-D Security Chief.

Reunited with past love K'Ehleyr. They mated and when Worf wanted to take the traditional Klingon marriage vows, it was K'Ehleyr who backed away.

2366
Performed the R'uustai or bonding ceremony with the orphaned Jeremy Aster making him his brother. Jeremy's mother, Marla, died in an accident on an away mission led by Worf.

Was reunited with his brother whom he had thought perished in the battle at the Khitomer Outpost.

Worf accepted discommendation from Klingon society (which will last three generations in his family) to avert a destablization in Klingon Empire politics regarding a trumped up charge that Mogh, Worf's father, had betrayed the Empire to Romulans. In acutality, it was Jared, the father of Duras, a powerful political figure.

2367
He found out that he had a son, Alexander, by K'Ehleyr two years earlier. K'Ehleyr was killed by Duras when she drew too close to the truth about Khitomer. Worf claimed the Rite of Vengeance against Duras and killed him on board his own ship. Captain Picard was very understanding of Klingon culture, but still could not condone murder by anyone in a Starfleet uniform and put him on report. After K'Ehleyr's death, Worf sent Alexander to live with his foster parents on Earth.

He resigned his Starfleet Commission to fight in Klingon Civil War.

He convinced Kurn to support Gowron against Duras' sisters, B'Etor and Lursa, standing up to the sisters when kidnapped and tortured. His help towards Gowron eventually restored their family's honour and Kurn even won a seat on the Klingon High Council.

2368
His Starfleet commission was reactivated with no change in rank.

Delivered Keiko O'Brien's baby, Molly, in Ten Forward, on board the Enterprise during a shipwide crisis. The only other medical training he had was in first-aid classes in SFA.

Helena Rozhenko brought Alexander to Worf when the Enterprise pleading with him that Alexander needed a parent. Worf agreed to allow Alexander to live with him on the Enterprise.

Worf's spinal column was shattered in an accident when several cargo containers fell on him and left him paralyzed. In accordance with Klingon tradition he opted for the Hegh'bat form of ritual suicide, but questioned his Klingon resolve when he couldn't ask Alexander to do it. Commander Riker and Counsellor Troi disuaded him from doing so by convincing him that what Alexander needed was a parent. Neurogeneticist, Dr. Toby Russell, performed a dangerous, experimental surgery (against the wishes of Dr. Crusher) which could have cost Worf his life in order to prove her theories. A new spinal column was generated to replace the damaged organ. The sugery, called genotrnic replication, proved successful. However, Worf died in surgery but his own physiology had a back-up "life support system" that took a few minutes to kick in.

2369
Mogh was rumored to be alive in a prison camp on Carraya IV. Worf, on a covert mission, found the rumor to be false. He however found a colony of shamed Klingon survivors of the Battle of Khitomer led by a friend of his father, L'Kor and their Romulan guards who'd resigned to live with them. Both races came to terms with the situation and lived and mated in peace, with no one outside knowing of their existence. While there he fell in love with a Klingon/Romulan hybrid named Ba'el. When he left the camp, he took with him some of the residents; Ba'el was not one of them. They were all made to promise before they left to keep the camp on Carraya IV a secret.

2370
Briefly dated Enterprise Councellor Deanna Troi.

Won bat'telh tournaments on Forkas III.

After the mission of Carraya IV, he needed time to contemplate. He visited the caves of Boreth, the legendary site of the Great Warrior's predicted return. When Kahless did really appear to return Worf was shocked. It was later found that Kahless was a clone from ancient relics by Boreth clerics. The response of the spiritually empty Klingon people to the presence of Kahless prompted Worf to insist that Gowron accept the cloned warrior as a returned Emperor an moral leader, which in turn, created a constitutional theo-monarchy.

Was reunited with Nikolai. Their opinions clashed when it came to the saving of a doomed Borallan village. The saving of the pre-warp society went against the Prime Directive. Nikolai went against the orders of Captain Picard to save his pregnant mate, a native. Through use of the holodeck genius of Lt. LaForge and the wit of the two brothers, the Borallans were transported to another planet none the wiser. Worf and Nikolai parted more amicably after that.

Was shocked to find his son had returned from 40 years in the future (under the assumed name K'Mtar). He came back to tell him he [Worf] would be dead if he kept forcing the young Alexander the path of the warrior. From that point on Worf started to allow his son to find his own way, even if it was not that of a warrior.

2371
Promoted to Lieutenant Commander in ceremonial holographic ocean dunking on the frigate Enterprise. He went on detached leave from Enterprise-D after loss of vessel.

Sent Alexander, once again, to live with his foster parents on Earth.

2372
Contemplated resigning from Starfleet. Reconsidered after he became a persona non grata in the Klingon Empire when his family's honour was once again stripped (and Kurn lost his seat n the High Counsil) for not siding with Empire when they wanted to invade Cardassia. He then accepted the transfer to command division from security for his current assignment, on Deep Space Nine where he is an observer of Klingon Empire activity, under command of Captain Benjamin Sisko.

Found it hard adjusting to life on the station as opposed to the "glory days" on the Enterprise-D and opted for quarters on board the Defiant where there was also more privacy.

Became a pawn in a deceptive plot orchestrated by the Klingon government. Worf was accused of destroying a civilian transport killing 441 Klingon citizens. In a hearing on Deep Space Nine, it was revealed that the deaths were faked by using the names of citizens who had diesd in a crash on Goranda Prime. The Gowron regime wanted to disgrace Worf in order to gain sympathy from the Federation so they could annex Cardassian territory.

Had the honour of meeting the legendary Kor. He, Kor and Dax went to the Gamma Quadrent to find the legendary bat'telh of Kahless. They found it, but his excitement was tainted when he and Kor started to fight over it. It ended up being set adrift in space.

Kurn, spurned by his fellow Klingons, showed up on Deep Space Nine demanding Worf perform Mauk-to'Vor. Jadzia was the only one who could stop Worf from traditionally killing his brother. He instead, ended up having Kurn's memory wiped out and sending his brother to start a new life living as another in a reputable House.

2373
Along with Captain Sisko, helped recover a Jem'Hadar vessel.

Went on detached leave from Deep Space Nine in command of U.S.S. Defiant and on service with the Sovereign-class Enterprise-E as part of Admiral Hayes fleet. Helped repel the Borg temporal invasion of Earth, the second invasion of the Borg.

While vying for the affections of Lady Grilka, whom he lost to Quark, he almost didn't notice the glances of Jadzia Dax. They ended up starting a relationship due to her extensive knowledge of Klingon culture, which ended up in many visits to the infirmary for the both of them.

Became part of General Martok's crew on the Rotarran and after challenging him was accepted into his family as his brother.

2374
Reunited with Alexander, now a recruit of the Klingon Defense Forces. They reconciled and Alexander also was accepted into the House of Martok. *(Inconsistency: If Alexander was born in 2365, that would make him nine. He doesn't appear nine in the DS9 episode "Sons and Daughters".)

He and Jadzia Dax were married in a traditional Klingon ceremony hosted by Lady Sirella, the wife of Martok.

On a mission with Dax, he opted to save his critically injured wife rather than make the rendezvous with the informant they were sent to talk with and protect from the Jem'Hadar. Captain Sisko later told him that due to the need for secrecy, there would probably be no court martial, but he would probably never get his own command and he and Jadzia would never again serve on a mission together. He also told him that had it been he and Jennifer in the same situation, he would have made the same decision as Worf.

While Worf was on mission to take Chin'toka, Jadzia was mortally injured on Deep Space Nine by Gul Dukat, who was possesed by a pagh'wraith. Her returned in time to say good-bye before she died.

2375
He decided to accompany Martok on dangerous mission to Monak IV to win a place for Jadzia in StoVoKor.

He was gold-hearted to the new Dax host, Ezri, but when he realized that Jadzia would not want him to treat her so, he accepted her.

Approached by Kor to get him a place in Martok's small raider fleet. Kor was chastised because his age was taking it's toll on his memory. When Worf planned to sacrifce himself to delay Jem'Hadar pursuing the fleet, Kor knocked him out and went instead, regaining the respect of Martok and his crew.
