About the character:
Odo is security chief on the space station Deep Space Nine, where
he is known to protect his private life. But he is also very lonely,
because he do not feel himself to be as the others on the space
station. He is the only one of his species and do not know his origin,
but grew up by a scientist, who has examined him thorougly. When
he "grew" up he learned, that people were not interested in him
as a person, but because he was different it was fun, if he at parties
transformed himself into for instance a chair. That is why he has
developed a distrust towards the motives of all and everybody, which
is supporting his hatred to the ferengi Quark,
who runs the bar "Quarks" on the promenade deck of Deep Space Nine.
Odo is a shapeshifter and can shift into things or make himself
to another living being, but every 16th hours he is to rest in a
liquid form, which he spend in a bucket in his office. When Odo
finds his own people he is also aware, that they are not like him
relating to philosophy of life. Odo belongs to the shapeshifter
race, that have formed the union Dominion.
