Pavel Chekov (alternate reality)

Pavel Andreievich Chekov was a child prodigy and a Starfleet ensign for the Federation, assigned as a navigator to the USS Enterprise in 2258, at the age of 17. 2258 saw Chekov appointed as Navigator of the USS Enterprise. Chekov displayed great intellectual brilliance when he was able to transport James T. Kirk and Hikaru Sulu back to the Enterprise as they were falling to Vulcan. Sadly, he did not have enough time to use the same technique to save Amanda Grayson, Spock's mother. The prodigy graduated from Starfleet Academy in 2258. Originating from Russia, he spoke with a heavy Eastern European accent, which caused a problem when he had to voice input his authorization code "9-5-Victor-Victor-2".

Chekov displayed great intellectual brilliance when he was able to transport James T. Kirk and Hikaru Sulu back to the Enterprise as they were falling to Vulcan. Sadly, he did not have enough time to use the same technique to save Amanda Grayson, Spock's mother.

After the destruction of Vulcan, Chekov devised a way to beam Kirk and Commander Spock to the Narada, without Nero noticing the Enterprise being near his ship. Chekov's plan had the Enterprise drop out of warp near Titan, one of Saturn's moons, which hid the Enterprise from being detected, then had Montgomery Scott beam the two to the Narada. Chekov's plan was ultimately instrumental in saving Earth. After Earth was saved, Chekov served again as navigator under newly promoted Captain James T. Kirk and left with the crew to explore space. The following year, Chekov became chief engineering officer after Scott left following a dispute with Kirk, though he expressed some apprehension about donning a red shirt. Chekov had to deal with the warp core breaking down, though it was sufficiently repaired to flee when the Enterprise was attacked by the USS Vengeance. He later prevented Kirk and Scott (who had returned to the ship) from falling to their deaths while the ship lost its artificial gravity.

In 2260, Chekov attended a memorial for those who died the year before, and resumed his role as navigator on the repaired Enterprise when it embarked on the first five-year mission.
