About the character:
Alexander is born in 2366 as the son of K'Ehleyr and Worf,
the mother K’Ehleyr half klingon half human, and the father
Worf only klingon. Worf do not know he has a son before K'Ehleyr
visits the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D ("Reunion" (81)).
Alexander has his first name Rozhenko after his fathers foster
parents, two humans, and that fits with his wishes to become more
human than klingon. A thought, that surely is fed by the mother
that did not like the klingon rituals and way of living, which she
found brutal and violent. When the mother dies ("Reunion"
(81)), he is to live with his father who wants Alexander to live
by the klingon laws, rituals and norms. In those situations, when
they cannot solve their problems, ships counsellor Deanna
Troi is to help them move on.
But at the end it is still too much for Worf to take, and
he lets his foster parents to bring up the boy on Earth ("Family"
(76)), which they do until they no longer can control him ("New
Ground" (110)).
About the actor:
The canadian born actor, Marc Worden, has appeared in a number of
TV movies and has had steady jobs in TV series. But he has also
made guest appearances in TV series, among them "Star Trek:
Deep Space Nine", where he plays Alexander Rozhenko. A character,
that was created to give the Worf character a depth and to make
it possible to show a klingon facade which not previously has been

known from another Star Trek TV series, "Star Trek: The Next
Generation", in which three actors have played the part, as
