Hugh then made his presence known and told Picard they were saving him from falling. Hugh then showed Picard around the Artifact. After learning what Hugh and the Romulans were doing, he enlisted Hugh in helping him to find Soji.

They went to her quarters to find a mess and when they tried to track her again, her signal could not be found. While searching the cube for her, Soji dropped out of the celling and Picard told her about how he was too late to save her sister but still had time to save her.

Picard, Hugh and Soji fled from Romulans to the queencell. With Romulans at the door, Elnor came to the rescue, after Picard had told him to stay on the ship. When the spatial trajectory device was ready, Soji and Picard walked through, transporting them to Nepenthe , after telling Rios to meet at their coordinates.

Riker and Deanna Troi. They walked the residence. Once they got to the Riker residence, Picard was gleefully greeted by Deanna and later Will. Picard explained the situation to them and they welcomed him and Soji to stay as long as they needed. During the visit, Picard spent time with Will and sought advice from him and Deanna.

He remembered the time he held him when he was an infant and how he liked to create languages. At dinner, while discussing what Narek had Soji do to bring up the information he needed from her, Kestra discovered the planet they were looking for and they agreed Picard and Soji needed to find it.

PIC : " Nepenthe ". After getting back to La Sirena and making introductions, Picard asked Rios to plot a course for Deep Space 12 and to get him a secure channel to Starfleet Command. In his office, Picard spoke with Admiral Clancy about Soji and the other possible synths and asked for a squadron to travel to the Vayt sector.

He proceeded to add arguments to his cause before Clancy bluntly shooshed him, telling him that a squadron would meet him at DS After this, Picard spoke with Dr. Jurati in sickbay, where she confessed to the murder of Bruce Maddox and agreed to surrender herself to the authorities.

Later, Raffi revealed to everyone what she had pieced together about the Romulans, the attack on Mars and the synths, prompting Soji to leave and change the course of the ship by hacking the system.

Picard accompanied Rios to the bridge where he bypassed a force field Soji put up to confront her. The crew discussed their next move and they eventually all agreed that following Soji's plan was the best course of action. PIC : " Broken Pieces ". Upon arriving on the synth homeworld of Coppelius , in which La Sirena crashed on the surface, Jurati was able to discover the abnormality in Picard's brain, which he revealed to the rest of the crew as being diagnosed as terminal just before La Sirena left Earth.

However, he made a point of saying he would not be treated like a dying man, and they would continue with the mission. As he had promised, he delivered Soji to her people at Coppelius Station , a community of synths led by Dr.

Picard and Soji told the assembled synths that the Romulans were en route to their world to destroy them. Picard sent a secure message to Starfleet informing them that he had made first contact and requested diplomatic negotiations and Starfleet protection for Coppelius and its inhabitants.

However, the synth community, led by Sutra , had come to another conclusion: They had discovered that the " Admonition " that the Zhat Vash believed to be a warning against synthetics was in fact a message meant for synthetics, to call for help from a hidden race of advanced artificial lifeforms to preserve their existence… even if it meant exterminating organic life in the process.

In order to stop him from trying to instill doubt in the others, Soong and Sutra ordered that Picard be held under house arrest. Picard was eventually rescued by Jurati, and the two of them traveled to La Sirena ; unbeknownst to them, the others had returned to Coppelius Station to stop the construction of the transmitter.

Having learned the ship's controls from his observations of Rios, Picard was able to take the ship back into orbit and face down the Romulan fleet, led by Commodore Oh, now revealed as a Romulan general. Picard pleaded on an open channel with Soji, who was working to build the transmitter, to not become the "Destroyer" that the Romulans believed her to be. Finally giving in, Soji destroyed the transmitter, leaving the Romulans no choice but to withdraw in the face of the overwhelming Starfleet force.

With Coppelius saved, Picard collapsed, his body beginning to fail as the result of his illness. He was beamed to the planet's surface, where he died in the company of the crew he had led on this mission. However, Soong had been working to create a golem to transfer his consciousness into, and had just completed the work before the Romulans arrived; working with Jurati and Soji, Soong was able to transfer Picard's consciousness and memories into the golem before his brain functions ceased completely.

With a second chance at life, he continued on with the crew of La Sirena , noting along with Soji Asha that with the Federation's synthetic ban lifted, they were both free to travel as they pleased. Notably, the golem 's neural net did not contain the defect in Picard's parietal lobe that caused the death of his Human body. The android body was built to be identical to his Human body in all other ways, lacking any enhanced physical or mental abilities and having the same remaining lifespan Picard's Human body would have had if not for his brain defect.

By the 32nd century , Picard's personal files were still part of the Federation and Starfleet databases that survived the Burn. Picard always remained in excellent health, thanks to a regimen carried over from his days as an athlete, and at the age of seventy-four in , was still a vibrant and healthy man. Even twenty years later, Dr. Moritz Benayoun told Picard, "For a relic, you're in excellent shape.

Despite his captaincy of the Enterprise , Picard still found time for fencing , racquetball , and equine sports, usually on the holodeck. Nevertheless, he did show a tendency to overwork, avoided formal vacations, and had reported bouts of insomnia. Additionally, Picard usually tried to avoid his annual physicals, to the great irritation of Dr.

At a very young age, Picard was diagnosed with Shalaft's Syndrome , a rare congenital defect that left him hypersensitive to any kind of sound. His condition was treated, but his hearing was still highly acute.

As an ensign, Picard could sense subtleties as faint as a starship's torque sensors out of alignment by three microns. Picard lost his hair by the s , although he was known to have had a shaved head for some time as a student at Starfleet Academy. Owing to a near-fatal stabbing through the heart in , an artificial heart was implanted to save Picard's life. The unit required replacement when it malfunctioned in , overseen at Starbase by Dr. Katherine Pulaski. Four years later, the unit was damaged and again replaced following a near-fatal Lenarian compressed tetryon weaponry attack.

Following his assimilation by the Borg in , Picard was formally declared dead as a casualty of war by Admiral J. The ruling was rescinded six days later when Picard was recaptured by the crew of the Enterprise. Along with the physical recovery, the incident took an enormous emotional toll and required several weeks of intensive counseling. Even after over thirty years since his assimilation, Picard would tell Seven of Nine that he didn't feel as if he had regained all of his humanity since his liberation from the Collective.

Picard underwent similar, though less lengthy, recuperation following his capture and torture by Cardassians in In an alternate future timeline, Jean-Luc developed Irumodic Syndrome , and in the corresponding alternate "present" timeline in he became aware of his future condition due to being shifted through time by Q.

When Picard asked Dr. Crusher to perform medical scans on him in regards to this apparent fate, Crusher confirmed that Picard had a small structural defect in his parietal lobe that could possibly lead to Irumodic Syndrome, among other possible disorders.

In , Picard asked Dr. Moritz Benayoun to provide him with a certificate for interstellar service. Picard's results were at or above Starfleet standards in every category cardiovascular , metabolic , and cognitive , but the defect in his parietal lobe had developed further. Benayoun said the defect indicated one of several syndromes, all of which were fatal. PIC : " Maps and Legends " He ultimately died just after the Defense of Coppelius due to the defect, only continuing to live on when his consciousness was transferred into a golem lacking the defect but otherwise identical to his Human body.

Picard's personnel file. Picard held diverse intellectual interests and recreational pursuits. He was a lifelong avocational archaeologist, inspired by his Academy instructor, Richard Galen, having studied the Iconian culture since his cadet days.

Picard even addressed the Federation Archaeology Council as keynote speaker in , on the subject of his oft-studied Tagus III ruins. He also had a deep love of Terran literature, from the works of William Shakespeare to detective stories featuring Dixon Hill , and preferred to read them in their written form rather than on a holo-visual display.

Picard had studied semantics and kept his Latin fresh. He kept up with the Atlantis Project on Earth through journals. Picard was fascinated to be the first to reveal an ancient Promellian battle cruiser , as visiting such an elegant craft was always a dream of Picard's, a dream he had held on to ever since he was a child when he used to build model airships and starships in bottles, surmising that he likely had a Promellian battle cruiser in his collection.

He considered the flute to be one of his most prized possessions. It represented, to him, an entire lifetime he lived in only 25 minutes.

As of , Picard kept the flute on his desk in his ready room aboard the Enterprise -E. His attempts at painting were less successful.

Despite Picard being a rather private person, he maintained a good relationship with the members of his senior staff on board the Enterprise , but only joined in their weekly game of poker after seven years. He delighted in fencing, horseback riding, and his scale models of various Starfleet vessels.

His opponents in fencing included Lieutenant Dean and Guinan , whom Picard coached in the sport. She initially lost one of their matches and said she did not think she liked the sport. Picard replied she liked it well enough two weeks prior, when she scored him two touches. Only rarely did Picard take extended time off to relax. In , several of the members of his crew persuaded him to go on holiday on Risa.

While intending to just relax in the suns, reading a book, he ended up going on a treasure hunt for the Tox Uthat , an artifact from the future. TNG : " Captain's Holiday ". Philosophically, Picard saw life and death as more than two choices of eternal or momentary existence. In fact, he believed there was another concept yet beyond Human understanding due to the marvelous complexity and the clockwork precision of the universe.

In , confronted by Q, Picard quoted from Shakespeare: " What a piece of work is man? How noble in reason? How infinite in faculty, in form, in moving, how express and admirable. In action, how like an angel, in apprehension, how like a god… " Upon Q's interruption that surely he did not see his own species like that, Picard answered that he saw Humankind one day becoming so.

In Picard's opinion, genetic engineering with its predetermination robbed Humanity of the unknown factor that makes life worth living.

Picard claimed that he was able to trace his family's roots in western Europe back to the time of Charlemagne in the 8th century. He had "never been a family man," and was thus long uncomfortable with the presence of children aboard the Galaxy -class Enterprise. The orphaned son of Lieutenant Marla Aster again raised his concern about the vessel's civilian family contingent, although his unease with children had lessened since being stranded with three youths during a shipboard quantum filament crisis.

His time on Kataan also affected his views concerning family and children, as he admitted not being able to imagine a life without them. His initial reaction to family was also reflected in the friction with his father, and later his older brother, over leaving the family business. It was soon revealed that Jason was not actually Picard's son. As a parting gift, Picard gave Jason an archaeological artifact of significant sentimental value.

When Ambassador Lwaxana Troi visited the USS Enterprise -D in , she had just entered her Betazoid phase , and so she set her sights on several male crewmembers as potential mates, including Picard. She announced her " wedding " with William Riker on the bridge of the Enterprise shortly before moving on to Picard. Following an intimate dinner with the ambassador, Picard hid himself on the holodeck in a Dixon Hill holonovel.

Lwaxana continued to teasingly flirt with Picard during her future visits to the Enterprise. On one occasion, Picard pretended to be in love with Lwaxana in order to save the ambassador's daughter, Deanna Troi, and Riker from Ferengi captivity.

Lwaxana was most impressed with his Shakespearian poetry. Picard had a relationship with an "adventurer" and some-time criminal named Vash. They initially met when Picard aided her attempts to find a rare artifact. Over the course of their adventure, the two developed an intimate relationship. Vash later returned to the Enterprise as part of an archaeological advisory team and was upset to find that Picard had not told his friends about their relationship.

Eventually, Vash and Picard parted on good terms, as she decided to travel the universe with Q. She later reappeared one last time on Deep Space 9 after being unceremoniously abandoned by her "partner" Q.

In , while mediating negotiations between the warring planets Krios and Valt Minor , Picard encountered Kamala , an empathic metamorph intended as a gift for Valtese Chancellor Alrik.

Due to premature emergence from stasis, Kamala underwent her bonding phase before the marriage could be completed. When circumstances placed Picard and Kamala in close proximity to each other, she eventually bonded with the captain. However, having adapted to be perfectly compatible with Picard, Kamala found that her sense of duty demanded that she proceed with the marriage rather than pursue a relationship with Picard. Picard was deeply affected by Kamala, as shown by his reaction to Ambassador Briam 's inquiry about the experience.

In , Lieutenant Commander Nella Daren came aboard the Enterprise to become head of the ship's Stellar sciences department. In her new role, she was very forthright in her requests for ship resources to support her department's studies.

Soon after coming aboard, she and Picard met. A friendship quickly formed, based on their shared love for music. Daren accompanied the captain on a portable piano while he played the Ressikan flute.

Their friendship soon blossomed into love. The crew reacted differently to Picard and Daren's romance: Deanna Troi was happy for Picard and gave her blessing; Beverly Crusher seemed jealous; and Riker felt that Daren was asking for special treatment because she was the captain's "girlfriend.

When a fire storm threatened the Bersallis III Federation outpost, Daren suggested a plan to shield the outpost against the heat while the Enterprise evacuated the colonists.

Eight crewmen lost their lives, but Daren survived. Afterward, it became obvious to Picard and Daren that it would be extremely difficult to continue their relationship while serving on the same ship, thus Daren requested a transfer. As they said goodbye, they promised to keep seeing each other, but knew their relationship would never be the same. TNG : " Lessons ". In , Picard developed a short, though intimate relationship with the Ba'ku woman Anij , while protecting her planet from the combined Starfleet- Son'a threat.

Anij, while over three hundred years old, appeared as a woman in her late thirties. Despite their intimacy, Picard returned to the Enterprise after the planned relocation of the Ba'ku was averted. Shortly before leaving, Picard said he had days of vacation time coming, and that he planned on using them. Beverly Crusher and Picard maintained a close friendship while serving on the Enterprise -D, usually sharing their morning meal together.

Crusher usually tried to serve a new and exotic food, although both she and Picard preferred something simple. TNG : " Attached ". Their relationship stayed platonic, for the most part. They considered one another close friends and would give each other advice when dealing with difficult decisions. While Crusher was in anguish over Odan 's failing health while the symbiont was in Riker's body, Picard gave her a hug, and assured her that he would always be her friend and be willing to help her any way he could.

TNG : " The Host ". Crusher's anger over the treatment of Kamala led to Picard spending time with her, where he quickly learned that he was falling for the metamorph. Crusher did not know what to say, but reciprocated the emotional support he had offered the year prior. Picard tried to make Crusher realize that the deaths of Jo'Bril and later Reyga were not her fault and that she should not try to rush her investigation.

Crusher was too upset and preoccupied to understand his words, and Picard was extremely disappointed when she broke the Prime Directive and performed an autopsy on Reyga. TNG : " Suspicions ". Picard knew that Crusher's odd decisions after meeting Ronin were not normal and confronted her on Caldos colony. Although Crusher initially resisted his demands for an explanation, she broke free of Ronin's influence after he attacked Picard.

TNG : " Sub Rosa ". Early on, Crusher and Picard experienced several romantically close calls. Once she was under the influence of the Psi intoxication , Crusher flirted with Picard and attempted to seduce him on the bridge of the Enterprise. Later, Crusher seemed hopeful for some time alone with Picard in the Dixon Hill holodeck simulation, but Picard seemed oblivious to her and invited Data and Whalen as well, much to Crusher's dismay.

Commander Dexter Remmick interrogated Crusher about Picard in mid- and questioned her about her true feelings towards Picard. Crusher refused to answer, claiming that they were irrelevant to the operation of the ship. In , a duplicate of Picard replaced the captain in order to learn about Human relationships. The replica had all of the memories and experiences of Picard but his behavior was different from the captain.

He was more outgoing and especially flirtatious with Dr. Crusher, inviting her to dinner, where the two had a romantic evening, including dancing. However, once the duplicate had enough information, it unceremoniously bade Crusher farewell. She teasingly held the real Picard responsible for his duplicate's actions when he was returned to the Enterprise.

TNG : " Allegiance ". Several times, Crusher began to explain her true feelings to Picard, once while they were held captive on Rutia IV , and another time with Picard's duplicate in the warp bubble universe, but she was interrupted in both instances.

Both also displayed some jealousy when the other found a love interest, such as Crusher with Odan or Picard with Jenice Manheim and Nella Daren. In , Picard and Crusher were taken captive on the planet Kesprytt , and linked together by psi-wave devices in order to decrease their odds of escaping.

The devices transmitted their thoughts to one another, where they learned each other's most intimate secrets. Crusher stayed up one night to listen to Picard's dreams, and Picard discovered that Crusher almost always had some biting comment at the ready, although she had learned to repress the urge to say them out loud. One night, Crusher brought up her late husband Jack , and feelings of guilt washed over Picard. She finally learned that he, too, felt an attraction, but did not act on it out of respect for his dead friend.

Once they returned to the Enterprise , Picard expressed desire to further their relationship. However, Crusher ultimately decided that she did not want to ruin their friendship or be placed in a conflict of interest, and they decided to remain mutual friends.

In an unknown, alternate future timeframe , Picard and Crusher were married, but eventually separated. They shared a kiss in the "present" during that time. Guinan and Picard shared a long-term relationship, which, according to her, went "beyond friendship and beyond family. Crusher had traveled back in time from the 24th century to stop some Devidians from stealing energy from Humans in the 19th century.

Guinan, learning of their predicament from Data who had thought she was the Guinan from the Enterprise -D, agreed to help in any way she could. When she was injured in the confrontation with the Devidians, Picard stayed behind to make sure she was all right. Samuel Clemens , returning from the 24th century, helped Picard return. In , Data's rights as an individual were challenged when cybernetics expert Commander Bruce Maddox wanted to disassemble the android for study.

Picard challenged Maddox's assessment before the local Judge Advocate General. As the hearing neared its end, Picard admitted to Guinan he feared he was losing the case. Guinan asked what Maddox gained if he would be successful in disassembling and reassembling Data, and Picard responded he would possess the ability to build many more androids.

He remembered Guinan's words that the decisions made today have implications for the future, and so Picard reasoned that if it would be decided that Data was indeed Starfleet property, all future androids would be also.

Guinan noted there was an ancient word for that: slavery. Eventually, Picard won Data's case by pointing out that an entire race of Datas would be used as slaves, strictly against Federation principles.

She, however, was not much impressed with the program. TNG : " Clues ". Besides joining Picard on the holodeck, they would occasionally share a game of chess , and Guinan was also coached in fencing by Picard in , begun when she considered exercise to strengthen her arm. Shortly prior to their match, the Enterprise had taken a Borg drone, later named Hugh , on board.

Although Guinan initially questioned Picard's decision to have done so, she was convinced by La Forge to speak with the former drone. She could not, but acknowledged this Borg was developing a personality, becoming an individual. Upon her conversation with Hugh, she convinced Picard to speak with him as well. When choosing a first officer prior to the launch of the Enterprise -D in , Picard accessed the records of a number of candidates for the job.

He eventually came across the record of one William T. Picard saw it as a glowing record filled with statistics and the Letter of recommendation that he felt told him nothing about the kind of officer Riker actually was. Picard was about to move on to the next candidate's record but stopped when he saw that a notation in Riker's record regarding an incident that took place on board the USS Hood in which Riker refused to allow Captain Robert DeSoto to beam down to Altair III.

Picard was impressed that Riker would challenge his captain's authority if needed, and put the safety of the captain and the crew ahead of his own career if the need arose.

This was a major factor in Picard's selection of Riker as his first officer — Picard wanted an officer who would not be afraid to stand up to him and be more concerned about the safety of the ship and mission than his personnel records.

TNG : " The Pegasus ". Picard was very cold towards Riker during their first meeting and ordered the manual docking as a test of Riker's abilities. When he performed the docking with great expertise and skill, Picard formally greeted Riker, requesting that his new first officer make sure that he not allow Picard to "make an ass of himself" in front of the many children aboard the ship.

One year later, Picard felt as if he had not done a good job of congratulating Riker, so he did it once more, this time making his feelings clear. Eventually, Riker and Picard became very good friends.

With the best of intentions, Riker suggested that Picard vacation at Risa in , asking him to return with a horga'hn. Picard did not realize the history behind the statue and kept it with him after purchasing it for Riker, making it appear as if the captain was seeking jamaharon.

The only time Riker and Picard ever verbally fought in front of the Enterprise crew was in while under the influence of emotions projected by Ambassador Sarek , who was suffering from Bendii Syndrome. TNG : " Sarek ". In an early highlight of his illustrious and fondly recalled years aboard the U.

Stargazer , First Officer Picard took command of the bridge upon his captain's death and saved the ship, leading to his permanent promotion to captain. His command has abruptly halted in when the vessel was abandoned with relatively little loss of life during an encounter that, years later, was realized to be the first UFP-Ferengi contact; casualties would have been much higher had he not devised a deceptive warp-speed jump maneuver that today is still studied and bears his name.

Even so, he endured a standard inquiry a year later but was cleared of all negligence. It was only a year before the Stargazer 's loss, in , that Jack Crusher was killed on an away team, and he had returned the body to his widow at Starbase That same year he visited Chalna; earlier, the Stargazer had barely eluded ambush while on an unsuccessful truce mission during the Cardassian border wars.

Picard assumed captaincy of the U. Enterprise NCC -D on SD , having hand-picked much of his senior staff — such as two young officers who impressed him enough upon first meeting to win a place in the senior staff: Geordi La Forge once piloted his inspection tour shuttle and stayed up all night to refit an engine part he'd made a passing comment on, and he witnessed Tasha Yar risk her life to save colonists amid a Carnelian mine field. Finally, he had picked Riker from among simple resumes as his first officer and promoted him to commander sight unseen, impressed by his record of independence.

His command presence and ethics persevered even through the Satarran memory wipe—despite orders, he would not fire on unarmed people.

Within months of his Enterprise captaincy he was offered admiral's rank and the job of commandant of Starfleet Academy by Admiral Quinn but turned it down to retain his flagship.

He also commanded the ship blockade fleet to deter Romulan interference along the Klingon border during the empire's civil war of , and undertook a covert raid in with two Enterprise officers on Celtris III to investigate a reported Cardassian metagenic weapons base, later found to be a hoax.

While Lt. Worf chose to be the exception, Picard's entire senior staff and many junior officers made the transfer with their captain. That continuity proves fortuitous: less than a year later, Picard was ordered away from repelling a second Borg attack for fear of giving unwitting aid to the enemy, but after reconsidering he led a deflection of the main assault. From there, a risky time-travel gambit paid off to correct temporal sabotage involving human first contact.

Other mission performance highlights of his years on the Enterprise s included his second meeting with Sarek, where at great personal risk he agreed to a mind-meld to save the Legaran conference in with the ailing ambassador; the legendary Vulcan had taken an interest in his career, calling it "satisfactory," but Picard was still awed by the UFP legend. They met again briefly as Sarek lay dying two years later as Picard was en route to another reunion with Spock, leading an underground pro-unification movement with Vulcan on Romulus.

Picard keeps a healthy outlook on life with a wide variety of interests and recreational pursuits, including his near-professional pursuit of archeology, having studied the Iconian culture since his cadet days and addressed the Federation Archeological Council as keynote speaker on his oft-studied Tagus III ruins in He enjoys Terran literature in its written rather than holo-visual display, especially detective fiction such as Dixon Hill, and Shakespearean drama; oddly enough, while he enjoys role-playing the former in holo-programs, he avoids acting or any other performance art himself despite an interest in classical music and attending the shipboard concerts and plays on the Enterprise.

Even so, he overcame his childhood dislike and began playing a Kataanan flute following his encounter with that culture. Picard's interests go well beyond archeology and literature, however. The subject of planetary motion and physics is another; he kept up with the Atlantis Project on Earth through journals; and is fascinated to be the first to discover the spacefaring life form, communicate with the Crystalline Entity, and reveal an ancient Promellian battle cruiser.

He has studied semantics and keeps his Latin fresh, but has no interest in politics, dance, small animals, or the Enterprise senior staff's poker game until his encounter with Q and an alternate future timeline.

Picard enjoys excellent health, thanks to a regimen carried over from his days as an athlete. He still finds time for fencing, racquetball and equine sports, usually by Holodeck, but he does show a tendency for overwork, avoids formal vacations, and has reported bouts of insomnia.

His aversion to annual physicals must also be noted and dealt with. Owing to a fatal stabbing through the heart in a brawl as a newly-graduated ensign in , a cardiac device later found to be defective was implanted to save his life. The unit required replacement when it malfunctioned in , overseen at Starbase by then-CMO Dr. Katherine Pulaski. There are very few times during Picard's run as captain that he indulges in romance, even if his old flames always seem to find him.

It's especially rare for him to date while acting as leader of the Enterprise. One rare exception was Nella Daren, a stellar scientist reassigned to the Enterprise. Between their love of music and the universe, they bonded and fell in love. It was nice to see Picard in a serious romance instead of a one-off time of passion or running into an ex. However, tragedy hit their relationship. When Nella was endangered on an away mission, Picard faltered at his job because he was worried about her.

They decided that being together wasn't what was best for the ship and she faded into the background. Okay, perhaps this wasn't exactly Picard's romance, but it was Picard's consciousness so it should count.

When Picard was hijacked by the alien time capsule to show the history and memories of the fargone people of a ruined planet, he lived a whole life as a man named Kamin. During his time as Kamin, Picard lived a lifetime of music, love, family, and more. More importantly, he had a wife named Eline. At first, their relationship was strained because of his confusion. Over time, though, they fell in love and had children. Picard spent decades loving her and building a legacy.

Even though he went back to his ship in mere minutes, his life with Eline never left him. Picard still played the lute years later. While Picard isn't exactly the kind of guy to have a spring break fling, there was one time he did just that. When his crew forced him on a vacation to Risa, Picard found unexpected adventure and romance in the beautiful and mischievous Vash. Their love of ancient civilizations and archaeology brought them together, even if their stances on "museum" versus "black market" differed.

Vash and Picard made for a great pair, so in love with culture and adventure.
