Worf, an extraordinary life.

You know how they did those The Autobiography of… books? They really need to think about doing one for Worf. I was thinking about him for that
Greatest-of-Starfleet wall at the Academy
and his life has been amazing:

1. He comes from a royal line of the Federations greatest enemy, the Klingon Empire.

2. His grandfather defended, for the assassination of the Empire’s Chancellor, Leonard McCoy and James T. Kirk—for whom the Klingons had so much hate they declared there would be no peace so long as he lived.

3. His parents were murdered after a betrayal by one of the Empire’s greatest families, the Duras, to its most despised (and Earth’s oldest) enemy, the Romulan Star-Empire.

4. This at Khitomer, the site of the Khitomer Accords, which reshaped the landscape of half the Galaxy for generations to come.

5. He was found by Humans and raised on Earth, where he once accidentally killed a fellow child and became devout in a way of life both most and least Klingon.

6. He grew up to become the first Klingon, again the Federation’s greatest enemy, in Starfleet, and is ultimately assigned to the Federation flagship.

7. Where he becomes its chief of security.

8. And helped defend the Federation from Parasitic invasion, assimilation by the Borg, and erasure by the Q.

9. He goes off to defend the Empire during a civil war and has his family name restored after previously having sacrificed it for the good of the Empire.

10. He helps thwart a Romulan invasion of Vulcan, a Federation founding memberworld.

11. He helps reintroduce the Klingon Jesus to the Empire as its figurehead.

12. He transfers to DS9 to defend it against invasion by his people, and there marries a Dax.

13. He finds the Klingon Holy Grail, and leaves it behind for the damage it may do.

14. He assists the Emissary of the Prophets to fulfill his destiny, usher in a thousand-year Golden Age for Bajor, and probably bring it into the Federation.

15. He helped thwart Changeling Bashir’s destruction of the entire Bajoran system, and helped the Federation win the Dominion War.

16. He killed Gowron and installed Martok as Chancellor of the Klingon Empire.

17. He became Federation Ambassador to the Klingon Empire.

18. He helped save Zephram Cochrane’s life and Earth’s First Contact with aliens.

19. He helped defend against a Reman invasion and WMD.

20. He rose the ranks to captain the Federation flagship Enterprise-E (per the books).

21. Working for Starfleet Intelligence, he once again helped save Earth from assimilation and once and for all defeat the Borg.

22. He may yet go on to serve on the High Council of the Klingon Empire (per "All Good Things...").

23. His son Alexander may yet bring an end to the blood feuds between the Klingon Great Houses, despite having failed to in the time-traveling TNG episode “Firstborn.”

Just an extraordinary, extraordinary life.

I think a good writer could give some interesting insights to who he was during these different periods, and how his worldviews, goals, and motivations changed. Worf in s3 of PIC was a very different, and fascinating, man than who he'd been in the past. Where might he yet develop in his long Klingon life?

He is directly responsible for the ascension of two Klingon chancellors.
At the same time, he is directly responsible for the deposing of one of those two Klingon Chancellors.

He also helped with the succession of the next Klingon Chancellor during the ascension of one of those Chancellors.

I don't think there has been any other Klingon that has been this influential w/o directly ascending to the throne or become a member of the Klingon High Council.

I would love this so much. Imo, he's one of the most interesting characters in the series. They could still do so much with him as a character. Although, what would they do when they get to the period where he serves on the Enterprise and ds9? Would they just recount all of the adventures he had with them, or would they skip it?
 
Yeah thinking about it just makes me love the character more. I wish LD and PRO were still around for him to guest voice. And, of course, I wish LEGACY happened and we saw where he went next. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that he at least comes up in historical documents on ACA, if a holographic representation of him doesn’t show up itself!
