Odo /ˈoʊdoʊ/, played by René Auberjonois, is a fictional character
in the science fiction television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
He is a member of a shapeshifting species called Changelings and
serves as the head of security for the space station Deep Space Nine
on which the show is set. Intelligent, observant and taciturn, Odo
uses his unique abilities throughout the show to maintain security on
the DS9 station and, later, aids the Bajoran people and the Federation
throughout the Dominion War against his own people, the Founders.The
original Writer's Bible from 1992 for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
described Odo as follows:Actor René Auberjonois describes Odo as "a
very unformed being" who was "trying to get some kind of shape to his
life". Co-creator of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Michael Piller,
speaks of Odo's role within the show as being prompted by needing "a
character who represented the traditions of Spock and Data, the
outsider who looks in at humanity."Late in the fifth season, in the
episode "Children of Time", an Odo who has lived an additional 200
years tells the "current" Kira Nerys that he has loved her from the
time their friendship first began. With this revelation, Kira and the
"current" Odo eventually become a couple. Odo (Star Trek) Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
