Wolfgang "Wolf" Klawitter was a Federation Starfleet officer on active duty in the late 23rd and early 24th centuries. (Starship Deimos)

As a young engineering specialist on his first assignment, Klawitter was aboard USS Enterprise in 2265 when it was at the Galactic Barrier. He was a close friend of Lee Kelso's, and was traumatized by the latter's death at the hands of Commander Gary Mitchell. (Starship Deimos: "Where They Have Gone, We Follow")

Klawitter was a tactical officer during the Battle of the Three Suns. While he was unable to turn the Klingon ambush into a victory for the Federation, he provided evidence of the Klingon's sneak attack on a Romulan colony. This earned him the respect of the Romulans, and the hatred of the Klingons.

To Romulan Subcommander Septima ("The Deimos Factor"") and the Klingon captain L'Kat ("The Solomon Gamble"), on separate occasions decades later, Klawitter was known as "The Gray Wolf."

Klawitter rose through the ranks, and became commanding officer of the destroyer USS Chickamauga. He led a task force of Federation starships into holding the line against an incursion by the Orion-led Barrier Alliance. The Starfleet Judge Advocate General's office adjudicated Klawitter's response as excessive, and he was relieved of command. Klawitter was reassigned to a desk job at Starbase 211.

This incident is alluded to in "Where They Have Gone, We Follow", though not detailed. Klawitter noted that he never wanted the center seat ever again.

Klawitter was assigned to the USS Deimos as executive officer to Captain Jeremy Quinn in the late 2290s after the death of its previous CO, Captain Harlan.

In the early 24th century, 40 years after the incident at Delta Vega, Captain Mark I. Stone and Klawitter were aboard a shuttlecraft that crashed on on that planet. When Stone succumbed to the psionic powers he gained there, Klawitter was forced to shoot Stone fatally in the back. ("Where They Have Gone, We Follow")
