Born 2245, Russia, Earth
Pavel Andreievich Chekov is the navigator of USS Enterprise. He is also trusted at the science officer station, often filling in for Spock at that post, although he is known to be thorough with his reports. Compared to the other crew members, Chekov is young, naive and hotheaded. Particularly proud of his Russian heritage, he sometime makes fanciful claims for his culture's achievements.
