Profile
Born in the Klingon�Empire after or near the time the Federation and the
Empire finally reached an agreement, Worf is the son of Mogh, a well-known
warrior in his day. Separated at birth from his younger brother Kurn - now a
respected fighter in his own right, but remaining with his fellow Klingons -
Worf traveled with his parents to the Khitomer. A Romulan attack destroyed
the outpost on Khitomer because the father of Duras, a Klingon traitor who
would later press charges against Worf's family ("Sins�of�the�Father" and
several other episodes) lowered the defenses. Worf returned to the Klingon
planet to challenge the accusation, but found the High Council to be invol-
ved in the cover-up of the truth and had to accept discommendation, admit-
ting fear of the Council's judgment (had his challenge been failed, which it
would have been had Worf not withdrawn, it would have cost him his life) and
the removal of his honor in the eyes of all other Klingons.
Worf later discovered that an earlier encounter with his former half-
human, half-Klingon lover, K'ehleyr (in "The�Emissary" and "Reunion"), had
resulted in a child, Alexander. In a desperate attempt to cover his past ac-
tions when K'ehleyr discovered the truth about Worf's discommendation, Duras
murdered her. In a rage, Worf made an unauthorized visit to Duras and killed
him in cold blood. Worf then sent Alexander to Earth to live with Sergei and
Helena Rozhenko, the humans who had rescued Worf from Khitomer and raised
him as their own child on Earth (although in "Heart�of�Glory", Worf says he
grew up on a farming colony called Gault; perhaps he spent time on both.)
Helena visited Worf on the Enterprise a year and a half later, bringing
Alexander back with her. Experiencing difficulties growing up and discove-
ring the concepts of honor, honesty and loyalty, Alexander initially caused
some minor problems on the Enterprise once he was enrolled in the ship's
school. Worf decided that Alexander would have to be sent off to a Klingon
school, but then offered the boy the chance to stay with him and prove him-
self by overcoming the even greater challenge of growing up with humans
around him. Alexander acccepted, and remains on the Enterprise with Worf.
Worf later was paralyzed in an accident on the ship, but a new process deve-
loped by Dr. Russell ("Ethics") allowed him to regain control of his
muscles.
Later on, when the new emperor was to be installed (Descent), the Klingon
Empire was thrown into civil-wars. Worf convinsed his brother Kurn to sup-
port Gowron in the war. And when the war ended with Gowron as the winner
("Descent II"), Worf and Kurn was given back their family honor. However
when offered the chance of killing the last of the Duras, Worf refused,
stating that he would hold a child responsible for something that happend
a long time ago. Apperently he has also taken some humanity to him...
