History

 * Date Unknown: Odo is among the one hundred Changelings scattered across the galaxy by the Founders. He is eventually discovered in the Alpha Quadrant, and is studied by Bajoran Doctor for seven years. In that time, Odo learned to control his shapeshifting abilities; however, he regarded Mora's experiments as mistreatment.
 * Date Unknown: Odo arrives on Terok Nor, a Cardassian space station orbiting Bajor. There, he developed a reputation as a neutral party, and frequently settled disputes among the station's Bajoran population. Eventually, he is appointed chief of security by.

 * 2375: Odo meets Laas, another of the one hundred Changelings. While they develop a strong bond, Laas has learned to hold "solids" in contempt, and ultimately leaves the station. Later that year, he returns to his people in the Gamma Quadrant following the Dominion War, curing them of the morphogenic virus.
 * 2384: Odo acts as the Founders' ambassador to the solids. In this capacity, he meets with Laas and invites him to return with him to the Gamma Quadrant. Laas refuses, choosing to search the Alpha and Beta Quadrants for changelings.
