Other interests include Klingon novels, love poetry, and a love of Klingon opera. His favorite beverage, christened as a "warrior's drink" when introduced to it by Guinan , is prune juice.
Following the destruction of the Enterprise and break-up of its staff in , Worf sent Alexander once again to live with the Rozhenkos on Earth and went on extended leave to revisit the Klingon monastery and clerics of Boreth in search of a spiritual answer to the letdown the rapid events provoked. He found their discussions enlightening and considered resigning his Starfleet commission, but in early he accepted Captain Benjamin Sisko's request to join the Deep Space Nine staff in light of renewed Klingon friction after dissolution of the Khitomer Accords and their short-lived invasion of the Cardassian Empire.
He had all but decided to resign and join a Nyberrite cruiser crew when the Deep Space Nine offer persuaded him to stay, having felt that his Starfleet uniform was a disgrace to his own people. Early on in the assignment Worf admitted to continued bouts of depression over the end of what he perceived as glory days on the Enterprise , and countered it somewhat by taking quarters on the station's starship, the U.
Defiant , and finding a kinship with Dax , who trains with the bat'leth and mek'leth as well. He soon got the chance to meet Klingon legend Kor , but that honor too was ripped away when image gave way to reality as the two fought over the Sword of Kahless relic they found on a quest. Worf's public opposition to Gowron's invasion left him largely unaffected until the Empire attempted to frame him for the so-called slaughter of Klingon civilians amid a skirmish; the hoax was revealed only shortly before he would have been extradited for the crime and faced certain death.
However, on Qo'noS his house was once again stripped of its honor and properties, including Kurn's seat on the High Council. His depressed brother showed up on the station asking for his own suicide rite.
Only Dax's interruption stopped the ritual Worf was aiding, but after Kurn's unsuccessful death wish as a Bajoran deputy Worf realized his brother had no future and, short of suicide, opted to have his memory wiped and replaced with another Klingon identity, sending him to live with a family friend. Even then he lived with the regret that his actions had been forever tainted by his human-learned values of mercy.
It is with regret that I make this entry in the personal file of Lt. Worf, whom I consider a fine officer. However, despite whatever sympathy I have for his personal reasons and the ways of his culture I cannot condone murder by anyone wearing the Starfleet uniform. The officer in question is spared further disciplinary action only due to the circumstances of the location aboard the Klingon vessel Vorn and the not-unexpected indifference of the Klingon Empire to the incident.
Sparked by his spurning by Grilka and his uncharacteristic aid to Quark on wooing her the Klingon way, Worf's immediate friendship with Lt. Dax has now blossomed into full-blown romance; luckily she is one of the few species on the station compatible with the physical demands of the situation.
The arrangement with Dax as his Par'machkai has stopped short by mutual consent of the traditional mating step required and seems to be affecting Worf in a positive way, aside from the squabble on Risa when what I perceive as Worf's reactionary tendencies held sway during his brief alignment with some New Essentialist activists there.
Worf has encountered few further difficulties regarding his divided heritage. He had no problem helping to expose secret Klingon mining of the space around outer Bajoran colonies and fighting his brethren of a century ago when time-traveled to Station K He was part of the covert team trying to prove Gowron was actually a Changeling double earlier this year, and sparked a challenge to the death with the chancellor.
Although the team helped expose General Martok as a Founder , Worf left with the two still at odds over his defiance of Gowron a year earlier that cost the House of Mogh its official honor.
His biggest qualm has been a quest for privacy, and took quarters on the usually empty Defiant to relieve the edginess he had felt ever since arriving here. I am told he often can be found there listening to Klingon opera blaring over the com system, usually from his favorite singer Barak'karan — not surprisingly, a traditionalist.
He continues to utilize the Holo-programs for recreation, including his combat "calisthenics," commanding the historic Battle of Tong Vey, but has no stomach for zero-G exercises. His posting here has broadened his horizons in at least two ways: he has renewed his study of the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition, and has admitted a healthy respect for native Bajoran beliefs concerning the Prophets based on his own spiritualism. Worf commanded the Defiant in Admiral Hayes' fleet against the second Borg invasion ca.
SD , and briefly found himself back with his old colleagues on the new Sovereign-class Enterprise when Picard rescued the Defiant 's crew and fought off the Borg's would-be temporal sabotage.
Worf's action in recovering a new Jem'Hadar vessel intact ca. SD has already been duly noted in the record. Under the temporary command of Major Kira Nerys , Lt. Worf and Lt. Jadzia Dax were assigned to rendezvous with a Cardassian operative, Glinn Lasaran, who had been passing military intelligence to Starfleet for two months.
Lasaran requested a face-to-face meeting with Starfleet representatives at coordinates in the Badlands, in order to personally convey information about the whereabouts and activities of Founders in the Alpha Quadrant.
As was learned later, in exchange for the information, Lasaran desired immediate assistance to defect from the Dominion, in fear for his life. Worf and Dax attempted to rendezvous with Lasaran on Soukara, outside a Dominion base. During a two-day hike through the planet's jungle, Dax was injured by a Jem'Hadar patrol. An anti-coagulant rendered Dax untreatable. Worf then opted to abandon the rendezvous in order to return Dax to a Starbase for surgery.
Lasaran was killed attempting to re-enter the Dominion base after a two-day absence. The information Lasaran had to offer would likely have brought the war to a swifter end, thus saving millions of lives. Jadzia Dax is highly valued by Starfleet, but every officer puts his or her life on the line every day for the common good. Worf was aware of his duty, and the consequences of failure, and nonetheless deserted his mission for strictly personal reasons.
Therefore let it be noted that Worf is reprimanded for his conduct of SD No formal charges shall be filed due to the sensitive nature of the case, but this notation shall hereby render Lt. Worf ineligible for any further promotion or any permanent command position in Starfleet.
In addition, Worf's commanding officer, Capt. Sisko, has been instructed that Worf and Dax are never to be assigned to missions on their own again. Worf has petitioned this board to allow him to conclude his service as a Starfleet officer and transfer to the Federation diplomatic corps in the position of Ambassador to Qo'noS.
Worf's service record with Starfleet has been distinguished — and eventful to say the least — but certainly not spotless. A number of disciplinary notations and other dubious actions e. He dedicated this mission to his late wife, in order to ease her entrance into Sto-vo-kor. DS9 : " Shadows and Symbols ". In the Enterprise 's second Officer Exchange Program , Worf was reunited with his brother Kurn, whom he had not seen since he first left his homeworld as a child.
Kurn used the exchange program as pretense to reunite with Worf, and to inform Worf that his honor was put into question because the Klingon Empire announced that their father had betrayed the Klingons at the Khitomer colony by giving the Romulans strategic information.
When Worf challenged this ruling, Kurn was also present. When Worf decided to accept the dishonor to prevent civil war , it was also decided to keep Kurn's bloodline secret to protect his honor. For a time, it seemed that the House of Mogh would thrive and could even one day inherit the Chancellorship, but then Worf condemned the Klingon invasion of Cardassia.
An enraged Gowron had the House of Mogh stripped of its honor and had Kurn thrown off the High Council and continued on the course for war without Worf's help.
He felt that the ritual, which involved Worf killing him, was the only way to restore his honor. After receiving orders from Sisko not to carry out the honor killing, Worf arranged for his brother to have cosmetic surgery and his memory wiped so he could start a new life with no ties to the House of Mogh.
DS9 : " Sons of Mogh ". Worf had a contentious relationship with his elder foster-brother, Nikolai. Cavalier, inspired, and rebellious, Nikolai's antics — and the pains he caused in their mother — invoked the ire of his dutiful, honor-conscious brother.
Nikolai thought of Worf as a perfectionist, and resented him never being wild or disobedient. But the sibling tensions between the two seemed to be of a commonplace, Human variety. Later in life, reflecting on their childhood together, neither man made note of their genetic differences as a source of their friction. When asked if he and Nikolai were close, Worf considered, and merely said, " We are Reflecting on his brother, Worf also noted that Nikolai had many fine qualities despite their disagreements, acknowledging that his brother was " brilliant, persuasive TNG : " Homeward ".
When making contact with Nikolai at the Boraalan homeworld , Worf disguised as a Boraalan was shocked to discover his foster brother had violated the Prime Directive. Nikolai conceived a child with a Boraalan female, Dobara , and became very protective of the Boraalans in her village. Although his actions saved the Boraalan race whose homeworld had been rendered uninhabitable by atmospheric dissipation , it took the holodecks of the Enterprise and vast amounts of power to keep them from finding out.
While the Enterprise shipped the villagers to their new home on Vacca VI , Worf and Nikolai navigated them through an ever-changing holographic landscape subtly altered, so it ended up resembling their new home. As the power started running out, the holodeck was beginning to have trouble maintaining cohesion, and parts of the holodeck started manifesting itself.
Worf calmed the villagers, claiming the images to be the sign of La Forge. They reached the new home just as the holographic simulations ran out of power and ended.
On parting, Worf informed Nikolai that he would tell their mother that Nikolai was happy. Worf always had high respect for Martok, even when he was replaced by a Changeling.
Martok was forced to face the Jem'Hadar in daily fighting contests one of which led to the loss of one of his eyes , until Worf replaced him. The way Worf won each battle so impressed Martok that he felt his actions were worthy of song. Having been healed by Bashir, and trained by Martok, who was at ringside for each of his contests, Worf defeated all the Jem'Hadar guards, so the Jem'Hadar First, Ikat'ika, presented himself as Worf's next challenge.
Worf, already badly injured by previous fights, was losing and was about to let Ikat'ika kill him, when he experienced a moment of tova'dok with Martok. Worf stood back up one more time, refusing to yield to Ikat'ika. It was then that Ikat'ika realized that he could not defeat his opponent, only kill him, something which "no longer held his interest.
Deyos , the leading Vorta officer of the facility, had Ikat'ika executed for refusing to kill Worf. It was at that moment that Garak had finished the transmitter and all the prisoners escaped back to Deep Space 9. With approval from Worf, Sisko, and Gowron, Martok was honored by being made commander of the detachment of Klingon soldiers assigned to the station.
Later, Worf convinced Sisko to release Martok after he threw K'retok off the Promenade, claiming it was a disciplinary measure, and that K'retok was not injured.
DS9 : " Ferengi Love Songs ". A string of defeats against the Jem'Hadar had sapped the morale of the Rotarran 's crew, to the point where dishonorable conduct and dereliction of duty were commonplace. When Martok refused to engage the Jem'Hadar, the crew of the Rotarran decided to mutiny , and Worf challenged Martok himself, accusing him of being a coward. Although it was obvious, from the start, that Martok was no match for Worf, Martok's confidence and tenacity intensified during the fight.
Realizing this, Worf subtly let his guard down and allowed Martok to win the fight, severely injuring Worf and retaining command of the Rotarran while restoring the crew's loyalty.
Rather than punish Worf for mutiny, Martok thanked him for reminding him of his duty as a soldier of the Empire, and offered Worf a place in his House as a "brother". Together, the "brothers" turned a low-morale vessel that was on the brink of mutiny into the Klingon Empire's most distinguished ship.
DS9 : " Soldiers of the Empire ". Driven to the brink of madness by Worf's single-mindedness and longing for Dax, Martok could not be more pleased that the wedding to Jadzia was going ahead. He participated in Worf's Kal'Hyah ceremony one of the few participants who had an easy time , and when Worf got cold feet, he convinced Worf to put the wedding back on track.
After Jadzia died, Worf became concerned that her death had not been sufficiently honorable for her to enter Sto-vo-kor , needing to win a glorious battle in her name for her to do so. In late , Worf was instrumental in bringing Martok to power as chancellor when he challenged the authority of then-chancellor Gowron.
Upon killing Gowron in battle, Worf ceded his new position as chancellor to Martok. Worf was still a member of Martok's house in In the holographic message Natasha Yar composed before her death, she noted her commonality with Worf, as orphaned warriors, and called him a kindred spirit. When Worf assumed Yar's duties after her death, he promised to uphold her example.
Worf also seems protective of Tasha. As seen when he defended her from a female Klingon that Q summoned. TNG : " Skin of Evil ". Though Worf was beginning to feel the Enterprise -D was becoming a true home, there came a point in when the isolation from his native society could not be ignored.
Wesley Crusher 's brush with a cranky Klingon inspired him to investigate, and discovered the cause of Worf's discontent. In a holodeck re-creation of a Klingon Rite of Ascension chamber, his loyal friends gathered to celebrate the tenth anniversary of his Age of Ascension and witnessed Worf endure the traditional gauntlet of painstiks.
They had never seen him happier. Worf became a fixture at the senior officer's weekly poker games, where he liked to give the impression he took the game as seriously as combat. The "Iceman", as Riker sometimes called him, relished exorbitant bets and insisted that Klingons never bluffed an assertion later proven false. In one game, he was prepared to wager his goatee against Beverly Crusher's hair color. Guinan once asked Worf why he always sat alone.
Worf looked at her with vague irritation and replied that he required a Klingon woman for companionship, since "Earth females are too fragile.
TNG : " Yesterday's Enterprise ". Worf's evident dissatisfaction with Data's command decisions quickly grew into open criticism — improper conduct from an acting first officer.
Data was forced to privately chastise Worf for his behavior, and quickly added his regrets if the confrontation ended their friendship. Chagrined, Worf acknowledged his errors and admitted that, if their friendship had been threatened, it was his blame alone. He took the disgraced Ensign Sito under his wing, helped her regain an exemplary service record after her involvement with the Nova Squadron crash, two years previous , and got her recruited for a dangerous mission to Cardassia Prime , a mission she never returned from.
Upon hearing this, Worf joined her friends for a drink at Ten Forward. In the incident of Galorndon Core , the Enterprise rescued a fatally injured Romulan soldier named Patahk. Crusher discovered that he had cell damage to several vital areas that required a transfusion of compatible ribosomes and only Worf could provide the cells.
Due to memories of the Khitomer incident and his distrust in Romulans, Worf refused to donate his blood. Patahk mutually agreed with Worf's decision, saying he would rather die than have his "cells polluted with Klingon filth". Picard tried to make Worf reconsider, asking and soon begging him for a favor as a friend, not as his commanding officer. Since it was not an order, Worf stuck with his decision not to donate blood and Picard respected his choice. Patahk died soon afterward.
TNG : " The Enemy ". When Picard was taken prisoner and replaced by a duplicate, the crew discovered the impostor from his differing behavior. Worf was one of the officers who mutinied against the impostor to side with Riker. When the real Picard returned to the Enterprise , he only needed one glance to Worf for him to initiate a series of events that culminated in Worf trapping the aliens.
TNG : " Allegiance ". Picard accepted, and successfully uncovered the truth about the Khitomer massacre. The truth led to Worf and Picard's contempt for the House of Duras, who were the real traitors. Despite Worf having killed Duras, going against the Federation charter and Prime Directive, Picard forgave Worf for the incident, although he issued his security chief a reprimand. Picard later admitted that Worf was the "bravest man" he had ever known and they both shook hands in camaraderie.
Worf met Guinan when she first came aboard the Enterprise. Guinan introduced Worf to what became his favorite drink, prune juice.
As Guinan sat down at his table, she asked why Worf always sat alone. Worf looked at her with vague irritation as the conversation was venturing into areas he'd rather avoid. Worf replied he required a Klingon woman for companionship, as Human females were too fragile. Despite Guinan's claim she knew one or two women on board who may have found him a bit tame, a very amused Worf refuted this as "impossible.
When Worf's parents visited the Enterprise , Guinan consoled their fears about making Worf uncomfortable with their presence by telling them that, when people came to Ten Forward to look for their home star, Worf always looked for Earth rather than Qo'noS, reflecting their powerful role in his life.
TNG : " Family ". Guinan and Worf competed with each other in the phaser range. During the Klingon civil war, Guinan asked Worf about how his son, Alexander, was doing. Worf replied he was having difficulties adjusting to life on Earth, to which Guinan responded the time would come when Alexander found out what it really meant to be Klingon, just as the time had now come for Worf.
TNG : " Redemption ". William Riker, a jovial and amiable man in general, got along well with Worf. In some instances, he managed to bring out eruptions of emotion that his stoic lieutenant strove to keep in reserve.
When Riker was heady with the powers of the Q, he eagerly tried to share the experience with otherwise impossible gifts for his friends. He noted Worf's isolation from his native culture, and with the best of intentions, he gave Worf an aggressively lustful Klingon female.
Enraged and embarrassed, Worf refused the woman, admitting that the world she represented was alien to him and he had no place for such a "gift" in his life at the time. As a vital, athletic man who participated in dangerous sports like parrises squares and anbo-jytsu , Riker might have liked to think he could keep up with a younger Klingon, and joined Worf in his brutally violent Klingon calisthenics holodeck program.
The exercise ended with all opponents defeated, and Worf was looking for more, rather intently, and in the specific direction of his increasingly alarmed partner. Riker hastily called an end to the session. Worf considered Riker a fellow warrior, and on at least a few occasions Riker asked Worf to accompany him on particularly dangerous assignments or potential transfers.
Sometime after those events — where Worf had risked offending or worse his superior officer with a sense of impunity — a minor gesture by Worf innocently reached out to reciprocate the proffered friendship. When Riker proudly prepared 'Owon egg omelettes for a meal with his gathered friends, only Worf could stomach the dish, eating with obvious pleasure and declaring the eggs "delicious". TNG : " Time Squared ". Riker's practical experience with other Klingons, begun in the Officer Exchange Program, engendered an understanding of the Klingon culture that the other Enterprise -D officers, save perhaps Picard, lacked.
Worf helped bring this about, by briefing Riker with his own knowledge of the rules of the chain-of-command in the Klingon Defense Force. When the time came for them to participate in battle exercises in preparation for the Borg threat, Riker was given command of the USS Hathaway to serve as the Enterprise -D's opponent. As Riker's first officer, Worf brought "Klingon guile" to bear as the barely spaceworthy Hathaway had little else to offer , giving the Enterprise -D a worthy challenge and even coming to her aid against the Ferengi marauder Kreechta.
When Riker developed a complicated relationship with Soren , a member of the genderless J'naii , Worf overcame his discomfort with the J'naii to offer his aid to Riker in rescuing Soren when she was sentenced to receive "treatment" for her decision to regard herself as female, his loyalty and respect for his commanding officer overriding his issues with Soren and her people.
TNG : " The Outcast ". Their friendship was jeopardized for a time, after Worf began a romantic relationship with Deanna Troi in Riker's long history with Troi remained evidently unresolved, a fact that Worf was keenly aware of, and Troi refused to discuss. Picard's experience in an alternate future revealed how the existing tension could grow into naked animosity between the rivals for Troi. By that timeline, they had long been estranged and had no desire to mend fences with each other.
During a skirmish with the Klingons, they openly blamed each other for putting the rest of their still-mutual friends in danger. By sharing that foresight with his officers, Picard gave Worf and Riker the chance to halt their schism before it could fully form, and they continued to be close friends.
In , the senior officers gathered in the Enterprise -D holodeck for an age-of-sail themed celebration, marking Worf's promotion to lieutenant commander. As was customary for Enterprise officers on such occasions, Worf was made to "walk the plank" over open water, and forced to leap upward to grab the dangling symbol of his new rank. Worf was the only officer in the ship's history to succeed in maintaining his balance, and dignity, by keeping his footing on the precipice.
Unsatisfied with the precedent, Commander Riker ordered the holodeck computer to instantly remove the plank, using the holodeck's ability to disintegrate holographic matter. His order was mildly chastised though not without amusement by Picard, who indicated that the correct expression was to retract the plank. Riker shouted an apology to Worf, who was splashing and cursing angrily in the water.
Worf and Data's excellent professional relationship and solid, if subtle, friendship was aided by the fact that they had two important things in common. First, both were rescued by the Federation after their homes were destroyed by enemy attacks, instilling in each of them a high regard for the Federation's ideals.
Second, both were Starfleet pioneers; Data and Worf were, respectively, the first android and Klingon Starfleet officers. Although most of their time together was in the line of duty such as bridge duty and away missions , both were frequent participants in the senior staff's poker games, and they often spent time together off-duty in Ten Forward.
Also, Worf was one of the only people that Spot, Data's cat, warmed up to, despite Worf's disdain for the animal. When Data's shuttlecraft exploded while returning to the Enterprise -D in , all Worf could do was stare in shock at the viewscreen and mutter his friend's name.
As it turned out, the explosion was staged in order to kidnap Data, and he was subsequently rescued. TNG : " Data's Day ". When Geordi La Forge and Ensign Ro Laren were presumed dead in a transporter accident in , Data volunteered to arrange the memorial service, but he was unsure about what kind of ceremony to have and asked Worf for advice.
Worf told him that, for Klingons, an honorable death in the line of duty was a cause for celebration, not mourning. Data took his advice and arranged a very upbeat party, giving people the chance to share their pleasant memories of the "deceased".
A year later, Data again sought Worf's guidance, this time in researching the "dreams" he was having. Worf, preoccupied with rumors that his father had survived the attack on Khitomer, gave Data some cryptic answers about the importance of fathers to a person, but Data seemed to understand what he was saying and went on his way. Data later returned this favor when Worf learned that the apparently-returned Kahless the Unforgettable was actually a clone of the legendary Klingon; Data's reflections about how, after learning of his android nature, he chose to consider himself a person who could progress and grow over time rather than a machine who would never be more than he was, convinced Worf to accept Kahless as the symbol that he could be for their people rather than define the clone by the circumstances of his origins.
Their friendship was severely tested in when Data, acting as commanding officer, admonished Worf for challenging his orders in front of the bridge crew. Afterward, Data apologized to Worf if the dressing-down had ended their friendship, but Worf took the high road, saying that if the friendship was in jeopardy, it was his fault alone.
After that exchange, their working and personal relationship quickly returned to normal. Worf was distrustful and uneasy around telepaths, but ship's counselor Deanna Troi became a trusted exception.
When he was severely injured in , he asked her to care for Alexander if he died, reasoning that his own parents were too elderly to cope with the difficulties of raising Alexander and assuring Troi that he could think of no better parent for his son than her. By late , Worf asked her to become a soh-chim to Alexander, a role she gladly accepted.
After an encounter with alternate realities showed him a life with Troi as his wife, Worf's eyes were opened to a new possibility, and he began to pursue her.
Though surprised, Troi welcomed the advances, and the two enjoyed a romantic relationship through Deanna wasn't thrilled by Worf's concern for Will Riker's interest in the matter, but the triangle's tension was eased on the advice of Captain Picard. By the next year, the romance seemed to have dissolved amicably, and eventually, she and Riker resumed their relationship. Worf's only visible unease at their wedding in was the result of imbibing too much Romulan ale , and the prospect of appearing naked at their Betazed marriage ceremony.
By contrast, Worf found it quite difficult to adjust to life aboard Deep Space 9, right from the day he arrived. When Worf entered Quark's , Quark asked if he wanted bloodwine since he was Klingon, and every Klingon Quark met ordered only bloodwine. When Worf asked for prune juice, Quark laughed in disbelief.
Worf did not share his humor, so Quark was forced to bring him the prune juice. It was the first of many confrontations with Quark, and the Ferengi in general whom Worf thought unworthy to serve in Starfleet. When Worf discovered Quark was dealing with a smuggling operation, he was confounded as to why security officer Odo never arrested Quark. After a disappointing response, Worf decided to take matters into his own hands. When the next smuggled crystal arrived, Worf stepped forward and arrested Quark.
It was then that Odo shapeshifted himself and revealed the entire operation as a setup. Odo was going to follow the smuggler and uncover the entire Tarkalean smuggling operation.
However, thanks to Worf's interference, Odo had to settle for the middle man. DS9 : " Hippocratic Oath ". Events came to a head one day when Worf's quarters were robbed by a burglar. The response by Odo proved to be disappointing to Worf. This event happened to coincide with a union strike taking place in Quark's Bar.
Both unanimously agreed that Worf would not enter the bar, recalling he rarely entered the bar even before the strike. When they saw that Worf actually entered the bar, O'Brien approached Worf to talk some sense into him. This proved a serious mistake, and led to the three of them being thrown into the brig.
At this final incident, Worf decided that the only way to adjust to life aboard the station was to live outside it, on the Defiant. Eventually though, Worf managed to adjust to the activities of the station, even enjoying a Ferengi tooth sharpener in the process. When Worf was posted to DS9 and transferred to the command division, Benjamin Sisko took him under his wing and began grooming him to one day be a captain.
Their relationship was that of mentor and student. Worf and Sisko became personal friends thanks to Sisko's experiences with Curzon and Jadzia, as well as being Worf's defense in his extradition proceedings against Ch'Pok and the Klingon Empire. Sisko also risked his own life to keep Worf alive. Worf was one of the officers who found tolerating the Jem'Hadar difficult. After a brawl erupted between Worf and Toman'torax who was threatening O'Brien at the time , Omet'iklan decided to have both officers punished.
For his disobedience, Toman'torax's punishment was execution by his commanding officer, Omet'iklan. Upon seeing that Sisko's punishment merely was to confine Worf to his quarters, Omet'iklan described the Federation as weak, and vowed to kill Sisko once the Iconian gateway was destroyed.
Worf vowed that while the Jem'Hadar commander may succeed in carrying out his threat, he would not live to boast about it, which Sisko wryly found very comforting. When it was discovered that there was a Changeling in a high position in the Klingon Empire, Worf took part with Sisko in a daring mission to uncover the identity of the changeling and helped to train the Human officers to better appear as Klingon warriors. DS9 : " Apocalypse Rising ". When Kira was praying for the Emissary during his visions of , Worf surprisingly understood her faith in the Prophets as opposed to the rest of the crew.
He felt that the strength of Sisko's faith would be what pulled him through. DS9 : " Rapture ". Worf helped Sisko capture and apprehend the Maquis leader, Michael Eddington.
He helped reorganize the Defiant after its computers were disabled by Eddington's cascade virus. Worf also modified and fired a quantum torpedo so it released a trilithium resin into the atmosphere of Solosos III , the act of which forced Eddington to surrender. Worf had assumed the quantum torpedo was going to be used on Eddington's Maquis fighter.
DS9 : " For the Uniform ". When Garak persuaded Sisko that he could enter the Gamma Quadrant to search for Enabran Tain, he only allowed him to do so if Worf could accompany him. Later, Worf asked Sisko if he could join General Martok on the Rotarran ; Sisko needed a good officer like Worf defending the station, but Worf described his moment of tova'dok with Martok and convinced Sisko to allow Worf to join the Rotarran. He did not oppose Martok's request that Worf remain on the Rotarran even after the Operation Return, knowing that he was the only officer he knew that could never get enough work.
When Sisko was reassigned to Starbase in , leaving Jadzia Dax to command the Defiant to the Argolis Cluster , both he and Worf were concerned for the safety of the ship and her crew. Sisko reassured Worf that Dax wanted to get back for the wedding, while Worf suggested that Sisko get some rest. DS9 : " Behind the Lines ". Sisko took part in Worf's Kal'Hyah ceremony, and tried his best to last the entire four days. He motivated O'Brien, Bashir, and Alexander throughout the entire four day ceremony.
After Sirella called off the wedding, Sisko convinced both officers that they were in love and that they could not call off the wedding. Two of the survivors were Sisko and Dukat, trapped near the Badlands. When Kira relayed Starfleet's orders to call off the search for Sisko, the message came through garbled with interference. Despite Bashir's claims that the message was too unclear to understand, Worf knew what the message ordered, and said it would be dishonorable to disobey them.
Fortunately, Dukat relayed a distress signal detailing the location of Sisko. DS9 : " Waltz ". Worf found the captain to be intimidating, but he kept it secret from Sisko. It was Ezri Dax who had to reveal this fact to Sisko, much to Sisko's amusement.
DS9 : " Afterimage ". Worf participated in Sisko's grudge game against former Academy classmate, Captain Solok. Although he performed well in training, Worf received three strikes when he faced the Logicians. Both Sisko and Worf were enraged that he did not obtain a single run. Worf knew Chief O'Brien from his early days on the Enterprise -D, although their relationship was that of a noncom and his superior.
However, they were both participants in the crew's poker games. O'Brien was also a participant in Wesley Crusher's Age of Ascension recreation for Worf, where he commented on the power of the Klingon painstiks. Although Worf had to man the bridge at O'Brien's wedding to Keiko, following Data's observation that the gift should reflect the personality of the giver, he gave O'Brien a Klingon weapon as a wedding gift.
In , when the Enterprise was damaged by a quantum filament , Worf was forced to deliver Keiko's baby daughter, Molly. He humorously noted that Molly resembled Miles. The friendship really took off when Worf transferred to Deep Space 9. O'Brien was the first person to greet Worf when he arrived. Later he introduced Worf to the game of darts , describing it as "poker, but with pointed tips.
When the Defiant was damaged by the Jem'Hadar during their Karemma negotiations, and Worf found commanding the engineering team difficult, it was O'Brien who helped Worf take a different approach to command. When Worf discovered that the O'Briens were having another child, he altered his holiday plans to coincide with the birth, just so he wouldn't have to deliver O'Briens' baby like he did with Molly.
DS9 : " Accession ". During Worf's trial that demanded his extradition to the Klingon Empire, O'Brien described Worf as "an honorable man". In turn, Worf described O'Brien as an "outstanding officer" and a friend, relaying their mutual respect out loud. DS9 : " Rules of Engagement ". DS9 : " To the Death ". Although Worf believed that Muniz would not survive his wounds, O'Brien did not agree and clashed with Worf's pessimism escalating into a near brawl between the two.
However, Worf was later proved right and Muniz did succumb to his wounds. Once the mission was over, Worf found the chief at the casket of Muniz, holding somewhat of an improvised wake for him. Worf offered to performed the Klingon tradition of ak'voh with the chief as they would both "keep the predators away. DS9 : " The Ship ". O'Brien politely refused Worf's offer of help when Keiko, possessed by a Pah-wraith, fell down the Promenade crossway. DS9 : " The Assignment ". O'Brien had to undergo a ritual fasting with Julian Bashir and Sisko as part of Worf's Kal'Hyah ceremony, which was different than what he thought it would be.
He couldn't last the four days even joining Bashir in vowing to kill Worf at one point , and when he heard the wedding ceremony was called off, he and Bashir immediately ordered a large feast of Earth and Bajoran food.
However, Sisko stopped them and helped put the wedding back on track. At one point, while watching Jadzia and Quark playing a game of tongo against each other and a group of Ferengi waiters, Worf made a bet with O'Brien that Jadzia had the game in hand. He wagered that if she won, O'Brien would owe Worf a bottle of bloodwine.
If Jadzia lost, however, Worf would then owe the chief a bottle of Irish whiskey. In the end, however, Worf ended up saying that he would need time to come up with O'Brien's payment. Worf was more than happy to babysit Kirayoshi while the O'Briens were busy taking care of Molly, who traveled through an ancient time portal.
Once Kirayoshi was returned to his parents, he chose to honor their dinner invitation rather than go in a holosuite. DS9 : " Time's Orphan ". While drinking bloodwine and reminiscing about old crewmates most notably Reginald Barclay , O'Brien found out what was bothering Worf — the fact that his wife did not die an honorable death, and thus could not enter Sto-vo-kor.
It was O'Brien who helped Worf ease his hostility to Ezri. Over a bottle of bloodwine, O'Brien asked how Jadzia would feel if she knew how poorly Worf treated Ezri. When Worf claimed that there was no way to know, O'Brien refuted the claim, suggesting he talk to the one person Worf had been avoiding.
When O'Brien's authorization code was used to access sixteen cases of bloodwine sent to Martok by Sirella, Martok and Worf had to quiz O'Brien on where the cases went. O'Brien had to explain to Worf and Martok that Nog must have taken the bloodwine to barter for a graviton stabilizer. Worf and Martok gave O'Brien one day to find the bloodwine. Fortunately, Nog returned with 16 cases of bloodwine bought from his cousin Gant , an even better vintage than the ones he took.
Both Klingons gave O'Brien a bottle of the bloodwine as an "apology". Ezri Dax's relationship with Worf did not go quite as smoothly as Jadzia's, despite many of Jadzia's friends and colleagues quickly accepting the presence of a new Dax in their lives.
Initially, Worf wanted nothing to do with her, or even Dr. Bashir, considering Ezri's presence and her relationship with Bashir an affront to his wife's memory.
However, he soon realized that his actions were more of an affront, and relations between them began to warm. During the latter half of the year, Worf commanded the IKS Koraga when it was destroyed by the Dominion; his escape pod was rescued by Ezri, with whom Worf was captured by the Breen shortly after an implied sexual encounter. After undergoing an interrogation which included killing one of the clones of Weyoun , Worf and Ezri were freed by Legate Damar as part of his resistance to the Dominion, the two subsequently putting aside the last of their issues regarding Worf's relationship with Jadzia as Ezri began to accept her own feelings for Bashir.
DS9 : " Penumbra ", " Strange Bedfellows ". It was Ezri who pointed out to Worf how deep corruption ran in the Klingon Empire, asking him who the last chancellor he respected was. She finished by asking what hope there was for the Empire if such an honorable man as him was willing to accept leadership like Gowron's, prompting his decision to challenge Gowron to a duel and kill him.
Although Kurn's new life gave him a chance to regain honor, Worf had to continue living with his dishonor. Kor considered a hero, according to Worf offered him the perfect opportunity to regain his honor. Kor, who disliked the High Council enough to consider any enemy of it a friend, revealed to Worf that he and Jadzia knew the secret location of the legendary Sword of Kahless, stolen by Hur'q pillagers a millennium ago.
If Worf could find the sword and present it to the present emperor it would almost certainly restore his honor among his people. Kor accepted Worf's request to join the expedition, knowing it would annoy Gowron. Although the antechamber that apparently held the sword had been ransacked, Worf discovered that a holographic projection hid the true chamber.
Worf believed that the discovery of the sword was one of the events in his life that his vision of Kahless foretold him accomplishing. When the team exited the chamber, they came face-to-face with Toral, son of Duras , an individual whose life Worf had spared following the Klingon Civil War.
After a brief battle with Toral and his bodyguards, the team made a dash back to the ship, being chased by Toral. However, while heading back to the ship, Kor and Worf had a difference of opinion about the sword. Worf was disgusted when Kor used the sword to eat a vole : " The sword is not something that you use to shovel food down your mouth. After a restless night, the team had to maneuver across a steep chasm. Kor lost his footing and nearly fell down the slope.
Worf, barely able to hold onto Kor, told him to let go and drop onto a ledge beneath him. Kor, preferring to die rather than let go of the sword, refused and climbed back up with the help of Dax. Kor took a look at the ledge, and found that it was too small to support his weight. This proved too much for Kor, and he decided to fight Worf in battle.
