A quick guide to every major character on 'Star Trek: Picard' season 3
Warning: Spoilers ahead for the first episode of "Star Trek: Picard" season 3.
Paramount+'s science-fiction show reunites the cast of "Star Trek: The Next Generation."
We've created a guide to the key characters and what we know about them from the first episode.
Jean-Luc Picard, the former captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise, is the protagonist of the series.
Jean-Luc is now a Starfleet admiral who spends much of his time at Chateau Picard, the Picard family estate and winery in La Barre, France.
After receiving a distress call from Beverly Crusher, the former chief medical officer of the U.S.S. Enterprise, who he hasn't spoken to in nearly 20 years, Jean-Luc and his former first officer, Will Riker, pretend to perform a surprise inspection of the new U.S.S. Titan.
They manage to convince the ship's commander to change course to find out what exactly happened to Beverly.
Beverly Crusher, the U.S.S. Enterprise's ex-chief medical officer, now runs a medical ship.
After cutting off contact with her former shipmates nearly 20 years ago, Beverly resurfaces when she sends a distress call to Jean-Luc pleading for help.
In the distress call, Beverly says her medical ship is under attack.
"Trust no one," she warns.
William ("Will") Riker is the former first officer of the U.S.S. Enterprise and a confidant of Jean-Luc's.
The U.S.S. Enterprise's former first officer went on to captain a ship before settling down and having two children with the Enterprise's counselor, Deanna Troi.
Will meets Jean-Luc at a bar, where Jean-Luc fills him in on Beverly's distress call. The two hatch a plan to board the U.S.S. Titan under the guise of a surprise inspection.
Will and Jean-Luc hope that in doing so, they can convince the ship's captain to change course and rendezvous with Beverly's ship.
Raffi Musiker is an undercover agent who once served with Jean-Luc.
Raffi is now an undercover Starfleet intelligence officer investigating experimental technology being used as a devastating weapon.
When she gets a tip from a source that leads her to a Starfleet facility on Earth, she realizes an attack is coming.
Although she tries to warn Starfleet, her warning falls on deaf ears. The facility is attacked and destroyed.
Seven of Nine (aka Annika Hansen) now serves on the U.S.S. Titan as first officer.
After helping Jean-Luc several years ago on a time-travel journey to save one of his ancestors, Seven of Nine enrolled in Starfleet and became a commander and first officer aboard the U.S.S. Titan.
Once Jean-Luc and William board her ship and explain the real reason they're there, Seven of Nine secretly agrees to help them by having the U.S.S. Titan change course to find Beverly and giving the two access to a shuttlecraft that will help them board Beverly's medical ship.
Liam Shaw is the captain of the new U.S.S. Titan.
As the captain of the new U.S.S. Titan, Liam Shaw rejects Jean-Luc and William's request to take the ship on a detour to find Beverly.
When Liam eventually realizes Seven of Nine has undermined him and disobeyed his orders, he tells her she's effectively "ended" her career.
Sidney La Forge is the daughter of Geordi La Forge, the former chief engineer of the U.S.S. Enterprise.
Nicknamed "Crash La Forge" during her academy days for crashing a shuttle twice, Sidney La Forge is now an eager ensign and accomplished pilot on the U.S.S. Titan.
Jack Crusher is the secret son of Beverly Crusher.
After Beverly cut off all contact with her shipmates nearly 20 years ago, she gave birth to Jack, who she named after her late husband and Jean-Luc's best friend.
When Jean-Luc and Will board Beverly's medical ship, Jack tries to take Will hostage — an attempt that backfires.
But once Jack explains who he is, and the ship comes under attack by a warship called the Shrike, Jack, Jean-Luc, and Will reluctantly agree to work together.
