Read more about Miles O'Brien at: Wikipedia Official Site: Paramount Television Miles Edward O'Brien, played by Colm Meaney, is Chief of Operations in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Before DS9, he appeared as a recurring transporter chief in Star Trek: The Next Generation. O'Brien is the only major Star Trek character described as both ethnically Irish and born in Ireland. According to Colm Meaney, at first O'Brien "was just there, not really established as a character, and that went on for a bit." He can be seen as the battle bridge's Ops operator in the first episode (Encounter at Farpoint: TNG). Appearing on and off in more TNG episodes, it wasn't until the fourth season episode "Family" that Meaney's character was finally given a first name. However, Meaney came to like the arrangement of being hired on an episode-by-episode basis, and was hesitant to sign on as a regular on DS9. O'Brien is one of only two TNG characters to move onto DS9, the other being Worf. The back story of the character states that Miles O'Brien was born in Killarney, Ireland, Earth in September 2328. He claims descent from Irish King Brian Boru (the founder of the O'Brien Clan). His father, Michael O'Brien, wanted him to play the cello, so he pursued this and was eventually accepted into the Aldebaran Music Academy (revealed in DS9 episode "Shadowplay"). However, a few days before he was scheduled to start classes there, he joined Starfleet. O'Brien can also be seen playing the Cello as part of Data's string quartet early in the TNG episode "Ensigns of Command". In the DS9 episode "Invasive Procedures", it is revealed he has two brothers.
Miles O'Brien has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
