| - Odan was a Trill symbiont who was considered to be very old, even by symbiont standards. Odan had at least eight hosts by the mid-21st century. (DS9 short story: "First Steps")
- In 2337, Odan was joined with a male host. In this year, he mediated a dispute between the Alphans and Betans of the natives of Peliar Zel, whose governments had been in a rocky relationship since their moons were colonized. He worked with Lathal Bine's aunt and Kalin Trose. Both of these reactions can be primarily attributed to the fact that the joined nature of the Trill was not widely known at the time. However, the extremely public and open display of such a surprising secret soon made the joined society of Trill common knowledge. (TNG: "The Host" )
- Odan visited the Enterprise to start a love affair with Beverly Crusher. He came very close to get on with her, but the jealous Jean-Luc, who wanted to nail Beverly since they had met first time, killed him while he was away in a shuttle and made it look like an attack of some aliens. This was no big thing to Jean-Luc, he had also killed Beverly's first husband to have better chances after helping her to get over that "tragedy". (TNG: "I know what you are thinking...")

| - Odan visited the Enterprise to start a love affair with Beverly Crusher. He came very close to get on with her, but the jealous Jean-Luc, who wanted to nail Beverly since they had met first time, killed him while he was away in a shuttle and made it look like an attack of some aliens. This was no big thing to Jean-Luc, he had also killed Beverly's first husband to have better chances after helping her to get over that "tragedy". (TNG: "I know what you are thinking...") Due to Jean-Luc's bad luck, Odan was a more freaky alien than everybody had thought. He survived the attack by leaving the dead body and occupying the body of Will Riker. With the abilities of this chick terminator it was easy for Odan to succeed. Picard even planed the next murder when Odan made a big mistake. After wondering about the question "What is better than hot sex with a girl?" for a long time he finally got the answer: "Hot girl-on-girl-sex!". So he ordered his female backup-body to go on board the Enterprise and switched bodies again leaving Riker's and entering the girl's. (By the way, this was the only thing that saved Riker's life. Picard would have killed him without hesitation, because who needs a Number One that is only interested in scoring with chicks, even if this means to destroy the ship for some "nice fireworks".) But Odan's plan didn't work, because Beverly was not interested in having hot sex with another girl other than Deanna Troi, or Tasha Yar, or Ro Laren, or... Anyway, she was not interested in that girl. Odan got kicked out of the airlock by Picard, and the episode ended. (TNG: "This freak pretends to be a Trill? I don't think so!")
- Odan was a Trill symbiont who was considered to be very old, even by symbiont standards. Odan had at least eight hosts by the mid-21st century. (DS9 short story: "First Steps")
- In 2337, Odan was joined with a male host. In this year, he mediated a dispute between the Alphans and Betans of the natives of Peliar Zel, whose governments had been in a rocky relationship since their moons were colonized. He worked with Lathal Bine's aunt and Kalin Trose. In 2367, Odan had joined with a different male host and maintained that he was the previous host's son. He was tapped again to mediate a dispute with the Peliar Zel natives when the Alphans developed an energy source which disadvantaged the Betans. The Federation sent the USS Enterprise-D to assist. It was hoped that he would be able to accomplish the same results this time and prevent a war between the two. During his efforts Odan refused transport to the surface and insisted on traveling by shuttlecraft. This led to an attack during which the host body was injured, necessitating the removal of Odan. Odan could not survive more than a few hours outside of a host. A Trill transport was within range and with a suitable host aboard but the Enterprise could not leave Peliar Zel, and the transport was forty hours away. To extend the life of the symbiont, William T. Riker volunteered to become a temporary host. Odan was transferred to his body successfully, although he then had to spend some time convincing the moons' ambassadors that he was still Odan despite his new appearance before negotiations could continue. Ultimately Odan was successful in averting a war, but barely in time to prevent permanent harm to the incompatible body of its host, Riker; even before he was extracted, Odan rejected the offer of further immunosuppressants despite the damage he was suffering in Riker because the drugs would have damaged Riker's body. With negotiations complete Odan was removed and joined to become Kareel Odan. The transfer of Odan had enormous repercussions. The two factions in the negotiations were initially skeptical of the explanation for Odan's change in appearance and negotiations almost never happened. At the same time, Odan and Doctor Beverly Crusher had begun a relationship prior to his host's injuries. The change in appearance proved professionally and personally difficult for Dr. Crusher; although she had a romantic encounter with Odan while the symbiont was in Riker's body, she broke it off after Odan was transferred into Kareel, as it was too complicated to be involved with someone when they could change bodies so easily. Both of these reactions can be primarily attributed to the fact that the joined nature of the Trill was not widely known at the time. However, the extremely public and open display of such a surprising secret soon made the joined society of Trill common knowledge. (TNG: "The Host" )
