Worf remember very little about his parents or his childhood on the world of Khitomer. A Romulan raid killed everyone in the colony except him. Starfleet dispatched a ship in response to the emergency call, but it arrived too late. A Starfleet officer found Worf and legally adopted him, sending him to live with the officer's family on the farming world of Gault.
Worf and his foster brother enlisted in Starfleet Academy, but his brother returned to Gault after the first year. Worf excelled, and became the first Klingon Officer in Starfleet.
As a Bridge Weapons Officer, he acted in a number of positions during the initial mission of the Galaxy Class USS Enterprise. After the death of Security Chief Tasha Yar, he quickly stepped into her role. He considered the position a great honor despite the way he received it.

Though he is a Starfleet officer, Worf has dedicated himself to living as a Klingon officer. He feels a great deal of stress in trying to reconcile adapting to humans on a personal level while behaving as a true Klingon.
Worf is fast in action, responding to aggression more from reflex than calculated thought. His skills in fighting are well-known, and he is an aggressive athlete as well. He strives to demonstrate control of a situation. Though Worf is predisposed towards violent action, he takes pride in maintaining self-control.
