Characters we met in alternate futures

Not really what I'm looking for. Though that was an interesting episode, albeit with a moronic copout ending.

Yeah, I was (w)racking my brain*(**) to stretch it and help you out, but the square peg never made it through the round hole.

Gabrielle Burnham possibly. She's from a future where there's no life in the galaxy. She's seen several futures unfold.

Gabrielle isn't from that future, she was flung there accidentally by the Red Angel tech. Even if the futures she saw now no longer come to pass because of Michael's actions, that doesn't erase her past self.

The OP means people who are born in those futures and get wiped when they no longer take place due to the actions of visitors from the past. Gabrielle would be the visitor.

If Jake Sisko had had kids with Korena in the future seen in The Visitor, they'd count, but apparently they divorced childless (due to his obsession with getting Ben back.
 
I think it’s reasonable to say that anyone whose existence is not directly affected by changes we can observe still exists. Like the girl from Visitor. Especially with 29th century people going around fixing stuff.

It’s not clear whether there exists some Klingon/Trill child in Visitor. It was not intended by writers at the time but also there’s no reason to think the changes kept the two from getting together or Bashir’s gene treatment wouldn’t have worked.

We don't even have any indication that Dax and Worf even got together in The Visitor's timeline. We don't really know what happened to Worf in that timeline, just that he was able to "throw his weight around with the High Council." Dax meanwhile stayed in Starfleet and apparently spent a lot of time with Bashir, though they were not in a relationship, given her reference to how Bashir is always going on about his "kid's new science project."

Just saying, unless Worf was reassigned from DS9 there’s no reason to think Sisko’s presence was pivotal in the two finding each other.
