Chekov, Pavel A. (Walter Koenig)
Navigator on the original Starship Enterprise under the command of James
T. Kirk. Born in 2245 ("Who Mourns for Adonias" TOS), Chekov held the rank
of ensign during his first mission aboard the ship (Catspaw" TOS). His Starfleet
serial number was 656-5827B (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home). Pavel Andreievich
Chekov was an only child, although he once imagined he had a brother named
Piotr while under the influence of the Beta XII-A entity ("Day of the Dove"
TOS). While at Starfleet Academy, Chekov became involved with a young woman
named Irina Galliulin, but the relationship did not last because Galliulin
was uncomfortable with the structured way of life required by Starfleet.
Years later, the two met again when Galliulin sought the mythical planet
Eden with Dr. Servin ("The Way to Eden" TOS). In 2267, Chekov was the only
member of the Enterprise landing party to Gamma Hydra IV who was not affected
by the aging process ("The Deadly Years" TOS).
Chekov joined the Star Trek cast in "Catspaw" (TOS) at the beginning
of the second season, although Khan claimed to have remembered him from the
"Space Seed" (TOS), filmed before the character was created.
