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 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.
