Bartender at the Ten-Forward lounge aboard the Starship Enterprise -D. ("The Child" [TNG]). Guinan was a member of a race of listeners, but her people, the El-Aurians, were nearly wiped out by the Borg in the late 23rd century. While fleeing from her homeworld aboard the S.S. Lakul in 2293, Guinan was briefly swept into an alternate reality known as the nexus. (Star Trek: Generations). The few survivors among her people escaped by spreading themselves across the galaxy. Guinan was one of the survivors. ("Q Who?" [TNG]). Guinan spent some time on Earth prior to that planet's development of space travel. She lived in the Earth city of San Francisco in the year 1893, where she met writer Samuel Clemens, as well as future shipmates Data, Picard, etc., who had traveled back in time. ("Time's Arrow, Parts I and II" [TNG]). Guinan was born sometime in the 19th century, making her about 500 years old when she served on the Enterprise-D. Her father was about 200 years old at the time of Guinan's birth. ("Rascals" [TNG]). She also had an uncle named Termin. ("Hollow Pursuits" [TNG]). Guinan and Q were acquaintances, having met each other some two centuries ago, but neither has been particularly enlightening about the encounter, save for the fact that neither liked the other. ("Q Who?" [TNG]). She has been married several times, and had many children. She said that all of them turned out all right, except for one that wouldn't listen. ("Evolution" [TNG]). Guinan possessed an unusual sense that extended beyond normal linear space-time. She, alone, was intuitively aware of the damage to the "normal" flow of time caused when the Enterprise-C was swept some 22 years into its future, creating an alternate timeline. Guinan warned Picard that history had been altered, persuading him to return the Enterprise-C back to 2344 to restore the flow of time. Such was Picard's faith in Guinan that he accepted this extraordinary recommendation. ("Yesterday's Enterprise" [TNG]).
