Personal History
Edit
Homn often joined Lwaxana Troi on her voyages and was reported to frequently have "outrageously lustful thoughts". (TNG: "Manhunt") Given her penchant for claiming this of many people (Jean-Luc Picard included) the veracity of this assertion is questionable at best.
He had an indulgent temperament in more than one sense of the word. It could be seen in the way he patiently catered to the (sometimes exasperating) whims of his employer, as well as his quiet indulgences in the "perks" of his employment. For example, he apparently had no inhibitions in finishing off half empty glasses of wine while cleaning up dishes, and once even snacked on the very berries he was sent to pick for his employer. (TNG: "Ménage à Troi")
He helped alter Lwaxana's wedding dress, which had previously been Campio's mother's, when she was to marry Campio. (TNG: "Cost of Living")
Appearance and HabitsEdit
Homn was a tall, pale humanoid man who rarely spoke save in sign language, a skill at which he was quite adept. (TNG: "Haven") Homn possessed strength superior to that of a Human, and frequently consumed very large amounts of alcohol without experiencing any apparent effects. (TNG: "Manhunt")
During Lwaxana's encounters with the USS Enterprise-D, Homn was known to have spoken only once, to Captain Picard: "Thank you for the drinks." (TNG: "Haven")
Appendices Edit
Background Edit
Homn was portrayed by Carel Struycken. In all of his on-screen appearances, Homn has had only one line of dialogue in the first season episode "Haven".
Neither his species nor his homeworld have been revealed; however, his position and demeanor are very similar to that of a Hupyrian, the members of which species are also highly prized in the galaxy as manservants.

Apocryphia Edit
In the non-canon story "The Ceremony of Innocence is Drowned" in the anthology Tales of the Dominion War, Mr. Homn is killed during the Battle of Betazed, shielding Lwaxana and her half-Tavnian son when the Troi household collapses under Dominion fire. Shortly before his death, Lwaxana confides to two of her human friends that she exaggerated Homn's lustful thoughts about her.
