Jadzia Dax is a joined Trill. Though she appears to be a young woman, Jadzia lives in symbiosis with a wise and nearly-immortal creature known as Dax. The two share a single conscious mind, and her personality is a blending of the characteristics of both the host and the symbiont. As such, Dax has access to all the skills and memories of the symbiont's seven previous hosts. Jadzia Dax is a Trill who carries the Dax symbiont. ...

Portrayal At the beginning of the series, Jadzia has just recently been joined with the symbiont Dax after the death of the previous host, Curzon Dax. Curzon had been a friend and mentor to station Commander Benjamin Sisko, and Jadzia and Sisko continue this friendship despite the change in circumstances. Throughout the series, Sisko refers to Dax by the affectionate nickname "Old Man".-1...

During the first few seasons, Dax is pursued romantically by Dr. Julian Bashir. Dax consistently rebuffs him, though she later admits that she somewhat enjoyed the attention (cf. Starship Down). After Jadzia's death, Dax's new host Ezri begins dating Bashir. Julian Subatoi Bashir, M.D., (played by Alexander Siddig) is a character in the fictional Star Trek universe. ...

During the first season of the show, Dax is often portrayed as somewhat reserved and aloof. In the early second season episode The Siege, she is ill-at-ease in the spider-filled caverns of a Bajoran moon, and is later disoriented by Kira's reckless piloting of a Bajoran starfighter. The writers' portrayal of the character begins to change in the second season, as they emphasize Dax's gusto for life and extensive knowledge of other cultures: In the fictional Star Trek universe, Bajor (IPA: /bedʒoɹ/ or /beʒoɹ/) is the homeworld of the Bajorans. ...

- The second-season episode Rules of Acquisition begins with a scene in which Dax plays tongo with a group of Ferengi. She seems surprisingly at home in this setting, calmly ignoring their sexist overtures and showing considerable skill at the game. Later in the episode, she remarks that the Ferengi they are among the most interesting races she has encountered.
- Later that season, Dax joins a group of Klingons in a revenge quest (Blood Oath). In this episode, it is revealed the Curzon Dax was a federation diplomat to the Klingon Empire, and swore a blood oath against "the Albino" with the Klingons Kang, Koloth, and Kor. Jadzia takes up the blood oath, and against Sisko's wishes she travels to the Albino's planet and participates in the revenge killing of the Albino and his minions.
Jadzia's connection to the Klingon culture would become increasingly important as the series progressed, especially after the fourth-season arrival of Worf. In the episode The Sword of Kahless, Dax joins Worf and Kor in the search for the titular Klingon artifact. In Sons of Mogh, she supports Worf's attempt to kill his brother Kurn, and in Soldiers of the Empire she and Worf go on a tense mission aboard a Klingon ship. Dax would eventually marry Worf and join the Klingon House of Martok. Tongo game at Quarks Bar on Deep Space 9 Tongo is a card game in the Star Trek Universe. ...

Jadzia Dax is a joined trill. "Jadzia" is the name of the young trill woman, while "Dax" refers to a slug-like symbiont that resides in her abdomen. While Jadzia is only twenty-eight years old at the beginning of the series, the creature Dax is hundreds of years old, having previously been hosted by seven previous trill. As a result, Dax may be considered the oldest crewmate on Deep Space Nine.-1...
The burden of seven lifetimes' worth of memories is not always a positive one; several episodes of Deep Space Nine focus on Dax's struggle with her dual nature:
- In the first-season episode Dax, the previous host Curzon Dax is accused of murder. This leads to an extradition hearing to determine whether Jadzia can be held responsible for crimes committed during another lifetime. The issue is resolved when evidence arises of Curzon's innocence.
- In the second-season episode Invasive Procedures, an unjoined trill named Verad attempts to steal the Dax symbiont. Verad is upset that his application for a joining has been rejected by the Trill Symbiosis Commission, and he plans to steal the Dax symbiont and escape into the Gamma quadrant. He manages to remove the Dax symbiont from Jadzia and partially join with it before his escape is thwarted.
- Later that season, Dax mentors a trill initiate in the episode Playing God. Dax is responsible for training the young trill, and for evaluating his suitability for joining. During the episode, Jadzia and Sisko discuss her own training under Curzon Dax, as well as the role that joining plays in trill society.
- In the third-season episode Equilibrium, Dax begins to experience unsettling mental problems. She travels back to the Trill to discover the source of the problems. On her homeworld, she visits the "Caves of Mak'ala", a place on Trill where unjoined symbionts swim in pools carefully and lovingly tended by trill Guardians. Eventually, she learns that Dax had previously been joined with an unsuitable host known as Joran, and that her memories of this trauma had been suppressed. Her mental problems subside after the other trill help her to regain these memories.
- Later that season in the episode Facets, Jadzia encounters each of Dax's previous hosts in the trill "rite of closure", including the insane Joran. This episode reveals much of the back story for the Dax character, and explores the relationship between Jadiza Dax, Curzon Dax, and Benjamin Sisko.
- In the fourth season episode Rejoined, Jadzia encounters Lenara Kahn, former wife of Torias Dax. Because Torias died suddenly, Dax's relationship with Lenara was never resolved, and the two struggle in the episode with their feelings towards one another. This is complicated by a taboo in Trill culture against romantic relationships with partners of previous hosts. This episode features one of the first televised kisses between two female characters.

Dax and Worf In the fourth season, Michael Dorn joins the cast of Deep Space Nine as the Klingon character Worf. Perhaps because of her past interactions with Klingons, Dax is fairly flirtatious with Worf. Worf appears at first to be oblivious to this attention, and in the fifth-season episode Looking for par'Mach in All the Wrong Places he becomes enamored with a female Klingon named Grilka. This is resolved by the end of the episode, with Quark ironically winning the heart of Grilka, and Worf becoming romantically involved with Dax.

In the beginning, their relationship is very sexual, with the strong implication that their encounters are somewhat rough (the above episode ends with Worf and Dax visiting the infirmary with various bruises and other injuries). In the season 5 finale Call to Arms, the station is overrun by Dominion forces, and Dax and Worf are assigned to different starships for the Dominion War. Near the end of the episode, they agree to get married after the war is over. Worf and Dax's marriage is the centerpiece of season 6 episode You Are Cordially Invited.... During the episode, Dax must obtain permission from the lady Sirella to join the House of Martok. At first Dax is loath to pay Sirella the required respect, and the lady is unwilling accede to Dax's request. The situation is resolved by the conclusion, with Sirella admitting during the ceremony that nothing can stand between "the beating of two Klingon hearts".

Death Jadzia is killed in Tears of the Prophets, the finale of the sixth season. She and Worf had been trying to conceive, despite the doubts of Dr. Bashir that such a pregnancy was possible. After Major Kira tells Jadzia she has been praying to them for conception, Jadzia receives encouraging test results from Julian, and goes to the station's temple to thank the Prophets. It now appears a pregnancy will be possible. The Cardassian Dukat arrives, possessed by an Pah-wraith, with the intention of destroying the orb-like Bajoran artifacts known as the Tears of the Prophets. Jadzia is no match for Dukat while he is infused with the Pah-wraith; he kills Jadzia and destroys the orbs. Upon her death in the infirmary, an agonized Worf screams out a Klingon wail of sorrow for his beloved. Her untimely death shakes the crew to its core: by the beginning of the season 7, Sisko has left the station in despair, and Worf has been risking his life on increasingly dangerous missions.
