Jean-Luc Picard

Captain Jean-Luc Picard is one of the most recognised and beloved protagonists in the science-fiction series Star Trek, his popularity is arguably only truly rivalled by that of the original protagonist of Star Trek - the legendary Captain James T. Kirk.

Like most officers of the Federation Captain Jean-Luc Picard is sworn to uphold certain laws while still actively going "where no man has gone before" - unlike the adventrous Kirk Picard prefered to deploy diplomacy when dealing with threats and didn't engage in conflict unless absolutely necessary: both extremely moral yet logical at the same time Picard had a very different personality from Kirk but remains a fan favorite regardless, in some ways the difference of personality was part of Picard's charm as a protagonist.

However like Kirk before him Picard appeared to be very attentive to the needs of his crew and as such was likely a popular leader even within his setting, Picard of course was also a leader who knew how to install disciple (like any good captain) and although a caring individual who prefered peaceful resolutions to problems he was fully capable of using his gifted intelligence to formulate quick and effective means of disabling threats and engaging hostile enemies on relatively even ground (or at the very least to deflect their assaults with minimum loss of lives on either side).
