Hendorff (Kelvin timeline)

Hendorff was a Starfleet officer in the 23rd century of the alternate reality created by Nero's incursion to 2233.

Hendorff came to the aid of when  attempted to pick her up at a bar in 2255. Kirk insulted Hendorff by referring to him as "Cupcake". This led to a bar fight that was broken up by Starfleet Captain. 

Three years later, Kirk met up again with Hendorff, who was in the operations division aboard the USS Enterprise (alternate reality NCC-1701). Kirk had used transwarp beaming to transport from Delta Vega, but he and ended up in the Enterprise's Engineering section. Hendorff, serving as a security officer, caught Kirk and threw the nickname "Cupcake" back at him. 

Later that same year, Hendorff was part of a team that traveled into the Neutral Zone in an unauthorized mission that ended up preventing the destruction of Romulus at the hands of a rogue group of Vulcans. During this mission, the team was caught and sentenced to life imprisonment on Romulus. Hendorff's hand-to-hand fighting skills proved valuable during an attempt to escape Romulan custody. Eventually the team was pardoned and released. 


 * A closeup image of Hendorff in the Vulcan's Vengeance, Part 2 comic shows the curled part of his badge to be the reverse of the curl as seen elsewhere. It is unclear if this is a mistake or if there is a meaning for the "opposite" curl.

In 2259, Hendorff participated as part of a team dealing with the tribble infestation of the Enterprise's engineering section. By this point, he had become part of the sciences division.
