The first Klingon warrior to serve in Starfleet, and an influential figure in Klingon politics.
Worf, son of Mogh, and Grandson of Colonel Worf, was born on Qo’nos in 2340. As a child, Worf had a pet Targ. His family moved to the Khitomer outpost in 2346. He was orphaned later that year in the brutal Romulan attack, known as the Khitomer Massacre in which 4,000 Klingons were killed. Sergey Rozhenko, a human crewmember from the U.S.S. Intrepid, rescued Worf. Sergey and his wife Helena Rozhenko, adopted Worf and raised him as their own son, because it was believed that Worf had no remaining family on Qo’nos; however, his brother Kurn did survive.
Worf was raised along with an adopted brother Nikolai Rozehenko, the Rozhenkos’ biological son. They lived on the farm world of Gault, and later in Russia on Earth, where they would take camping trips to the Ural Mountains. In 2353, while living on Gault, Worf accidentally caused the death of a human boy named Mikel during a soccer match. Worf visited Qo’nos as a boy, but was shunned by his cousins for being too human. On No’Mat, Kahless appeared to him in a vision, telling him to do something no other Klingon had done. Both Worf and Nikolai entered Starfleet at the same time, but Nikolai dropped out.
He graduated from Starfleet Academy in 2361, was assigned to the Enterprise-D in 2364, and served as Conn. He was promoted to acting chief of security and made a full lieutenant following the death of Natasha Yar, later that year. In 2366, the Klingon High Council ruled that Mogh had committed treason at Khitomer. Worf and Kurn challenged this judgement, but were unable to have the Council hear evidence that Klingon High Council member Duras had falsified records. Although Worf was willing to die in the challenge to protect his family honour, he accepted discommendation rather than allow his brother to be killed, and disrepute to fall on the Council. Worf had a son, Alexander Rozhenko, with Ambassador K’Ehleyr. Duras murdered her, and Alexander returned to Earth to be cared for by Sergey and Helena. Worf later killed Duras. When the Duras family challenged the reign of Chancellor Gowron, Worf and Kurn agreed to support the Gowron regime in exchange for the restoration of honour to their family. During the resulting Klingon civil war, Worf was forced to resign his Starfleet commission, as he would not otherwise be permitted to take sides.
In 2368, Worf’s spinal column was shattered in an accident and he had it replaced. Worf’s hobbies include building models of ancient Klingon ocean sailing vessels in a bottle, and Klingon opera. He particularly liked the singing of Barak-Kadan.
In 2369, Worf experienced a crisis of faith, and took a leave of absence to visit the Klingon monastery on Boreth. The clerics created a clone of Kahless who was installed as the ceremonial emperor of the Klingon people at Worf’s suggestion.
Worf was promoted to lieutenant commander in 2371 in a ceremony held on a holodeck representation of the 19th Century sailing frigate Enterprise. Following the destruction of the Enterprise-D, Worf studied for a year on Boreth. Worf then accepted an assignment to serve as strategic operations officer at DS9, changing career from operations to command. He found conditions on the station uncomfortable and moved from quarters on the station to the U.S.S. Defiant.
Despite Worf’s support of Gowron’s regime, he refused to join the Klingon invasion of Cardassia in 2372. For this defiance, Gowron ordered Worf’s family removed from the High Council, his titles stripped, his lands seized, making Worf and Kurn persona non grata anywhere in the empire. He also became a pawn in a deception designed to bring sympathy for this invasion when accused of destroying a civilian transport ship.
During the Dominion war, Worf served aboard the Bird-of-prey Rotarran under General Martok. Alexander joined the Klingon Defence Force and the two served together. So pleased was Martok with Worf that he made Worf and Alexander members of his House.
In 2374, Worf and Jadzia Dax were married in a traditional Klingon wedding. Dax was tragically killed by a Pah-wraith inhabiting the body of Gul Dukat, later that year.
During the final weeks of the Dominion war, Worf became alarmed that Gowron was squandering the lives of Klingon warriors simply for political gain. He urged Gowron to rethink his decisions but was rebuffed. When these strategies threatened the very survival of the empire, Worf challenged and slew Gowron. He stood aside to let Martok become chancellor, and was made Federation ambassador to Qo’nos after the war.
 
kewl

Great reading there but I dont recall where Worf was ever referred to as Worf Rozhenko ...I know his son Alexander carries the last name.

But Worf has always used the name Worf son of Mogh when referring to his heritage.:D

Sigh I just adore Worf

I don't think that Worf Is ever referred to as Worf Rozhenko. I've made an assumption there, but I think I have good grounds.

We have never heard surnames for any Klingons, and Worf makes up for his lack of a true Klingon upbringing, by trying to be an over-the-top Klingon, and would never use a human name.
He was definitely adopted by the Rozhenko's, so in human society he would have taken their surname.
His son Alexander, is many times referred to as Alexander Rozhenko, and must have inherited the name from his father; since Alexander was never adopted by his grandparents, they only looked after him.
 
Hi

:D I do believe ...but as usual when trying to find something to prove a point ...arrrgghhhh its not within my easy grasp .....:(

I have seen it written somewhere that Alexander was indeed adopted if only in heresay or brief mention on one of the TNG eps by Helena and Sergey Rozhenko so that he would not grow up bearing the stigma of his fathers disgrace or that of the house of Mogh.... ..It could be New Ground ep Im not 100% sure.

This is why he has the surname and Worf does not.
However I do agree your assumptions are based on good grounds.

If I find the written referance I will post it ....:) :rolly2:
 
:) Hi.

I see your point, if that is true. It all depends on if Alexander was adopted or not.

I would have to watch 'New Ground' again. Is that where they bring Alexander back to the Enterprise, because he's been acting up, leave him in a biolab on his own, and set fire to it? It's no wonder he grew up with an attitude!
 
LOL

:D Yes thats the the episode, its called New Ground.

I also believe in one of the DS9 episodes where he (Alexander) comes back on board a Klingon ship as a crew member. One of the DS9 members I think possibly Kira or Odo comment on the crew manifest of the approaching battle cruiser referance was made to Alexander being on board but he was called only Alexander.

I believe since his father having had his honor restored not long before that point allowed him to drop the earth name and be known as Alexander from the house of Worf.

I think Klingon history and ritual is fascinating Ive always been intrigued in the cultural aspects of the species....:) Mind you they can keep their opera ....blahhhhhhhhh !!!!! LOL!!! ;)
 
well i just dont know what to say....
 
LOL

Say nothing ....mwhahahahah You'll live longer ..:)<BG>
 
RE: Klingon Names.

In 'Prophecy' VOY B'Elanna meets some Klingons in the Delta Quadrant on a multi-generational ship. About 15 minutes into the episode they realise that she is not a full Klingon because she doesn't have strong enough forehead ridges. Yet they have been saying her name, and singing her praises, long before they meet her (She has a religious significance to them). If as I said:

Wouldn't it be obvious then that B'Elanna Torres was the daughter of Mr. Torres the human? Maybe, I'm wrong about that. It could be that only members of Houses get to call yourself Klaagg son of Blaagg, and everyone else is plain Klaagg Smith.

One more problem to that theory-- Martok said that he wasn't decendent from a House, and he was just General Martok. It is possible though that you could earn your name through good deeds, though.
 
worf earned his way into the house of MArtok did he not.... so it is possible
 
thats a v good point about B'lannas surname...it does seem to be human rather than Klingon ut maybe thay just thought it was a double barrel name eg B'lanna torres daughter of whassername ;)
 
mmm interesting point... B'lanna is a very secretative klingon... bit like worf was...
 
In 'Ethics' TNG we learn that Worf has twenty-three ribs, two livers, an eight-chambered heart, a double-lined neural pia matter, and a back-up synaptic system-- all part of the redundancies built in to the Klingon anatomy.
 
Watched Worf in a TNg epiesode tonight on Sky One... were he has to confront a former lover... Really got to see a side of worf which i feel is long gone....

It was series Two episode 20....
