History Characters / StarTrekPicardOthers

* TheUnreveal: We never know if he learns he has a younger step brother, or why Beverly no longer considers him her son.

* ImAHumanitarian: In the aftermath of Future Admiral Janeway's neurolitic pathogen attack in the Prime timeline, the Collective is rendered so fundamentally crippled that the Queen resorts to canabalizing drones to keep it alive, and eventually to keep ''herself'' alive once its numbers dwindled to irrevocable levels. Riker and Worf encounter the dead husks of drones who've been sucked dry by the Queen's literal hunger for vengeance.

* ItsAllAboutMe: The Queen has always had a very self-centred attitude, [[{{Hypocrite}} especially for a being that supposedly champions the suppression of individuality,]] but the Prime Queen has taken this to new levels, cannibalizing what was left of the Collective just to ensure her own survival, and being more interested in gloating of her superiority to Picard than just killing him and letting her revenge be complete.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: The Confederation timeline Queen is reduced to meandering, almost a stream of consciousness ranting intially, partly due to her awareness that time has been changed. She eventually pulls herself back together... ''literally''.
* ReturningBigBad: 23 years after her crushing defeat from Future Janeway during the events of ''Voyager'', the Prime timeline Borg Queen returns as the BigBad of ''Picard'''s third season, [[HijackedByGanon this time by making an alliance with Vadic's rogue Changeling faction to infiltrate the Federation]]. Yes, the ''same'' Borg Queen that pested both the ''TNG'' and ''Voyager'' crew decades ago.

* AGodAmI: He doesn't outright say it, but his waxing poetic about playing God during his hearing, not to mention his attempts at creating life through science, implies the sort of pride and narcissism that comes with having a major God complex. The fact that he's the founder of the Confederation in the altered timeline convinces him to aid the Borg Queen, knowing he'll finally be treated as he's always seen himself.
-->'''Adam:''' ''(to Kore after she confronted him about the truth)'' Anyone can procreate. You exist because ''I willed it''.
** There is also the ThemeNaming of all his clone-daughters: Despoina, Kore, Persephassa, Persephone, Proserpina and so on. All of whom Kore points out are daughters of Zeus (to be precise, all of these are names of what was presumably one and the same goddess), and it's fairly clear who is supposed to be Zeus in this analogy.

* BlackSheep: Of the Soong Family. Noonien and Altan were both {{Fatherly Scientist}}s who genuinely tried to do right by their creations, and even his descendant Arik, while endangering the ''Enterprise'' crew with his genetically engineered soldiers, was really a WellIntentionedExtremist who is eventually overthrown by them when he [[EvenEvilHasStandards balks]] at the lines his "children" are willing to cross. Adam is so wrapped up in his own legacy that he never hesitates in his numerous attempted murders, considers his clone daughters to be expendable, and ultimately rejects any attempt at redemption.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He is the founder of a company called Soong Dynamics. Its company logo is emblazoned on Kore's test-tube that Q shows her. He is also partners with PrivateMilitaryContractor Spearhead Operations.

* DeadlyUpgrade: The experiments Vadic underwent allows her to mimic other forms and biological functions much more intricately and allows her to bypass normal measures that had been developed to detect Changelings, and she can spread this ability to other Changelings. It also leaves her (and others she gives it to) in constant pain and with a shortened lifespan.

* AlternateHistory: PlayedWith. This reality isn't so much another timeline as it is our own, altered thanks to Q. In Los Angeles in 2024, astronaut Renee Picard made a historic discovery on the ''Europa'' mission that led to mankind solving its environmental problems. Because Q prevents her from going on that mission, the discovery is never made, and the environment is only saved thanks to Adam Soong, a man with a massive god complex. Because they worshipped him as a savior, humanity never went on to become the founders of an intergalactic group of like-minded explorers. Instead, they embraced their worst aspects and became conquerors who sought to destroy any alien races that they view as inferior. As a result, Picard became a GeneralRipper infamous for slaughtering his foes in the most horrific manner possible, Seven of Nine was never assimilated by the Borg and instead became President to this regime (while also being married to the Magistrate), Raffi and Rios serve the Confederacy as a inspector and a colonel respectively, Elnor became an anti-Confederacy terrorist, and Sarek, Amanda Grayson, Spock, Martok, and Gul Dukat were all killed. Only Agnes Jurati was unchanged, remaining a scientist, albeit one working in the lab where the last surviving members of various species are stored and studied before their eradication.

** While the Terrans are a WorldOfHam whose ambitions of galactic conquest often take a backseat to their own individual {{Glory Hound}}ing, the Confederates are [[NoNonsenseNemesis no-nonsense]] fascists who directly serve the state's goals with minimal in-fighting, a trait which is implied to be responsible for their comparative longevity. Though they do face significant outside opposition, see VestigialEmpire below.

* TheGreatestStoryNeverTold: The late 20th and early 21st centuries are considered TheDarkAges by the 25th century thanks to such events as The Eugenics Wars and World War III destroying much of the historical records. Because of this, Renee Picard and her discovery on the Europa mission, and the impact it had on Earth's ecological recovery, is largely unknown to everyone except for those who were there, such as Guinan.

* EvilLaugh: The Prime timeline Queen lets one out right before assimilating Jack.

* SameCharacterButDifferent: The Prime timeline Borg Queen's appearance in this series is different from how she was introduced during ''Voyager's'' [[StarTrekVoyagerS7E23Endgame two-parter finale]]. The neurolithic pathogen that Admiral Janeway inflicted on her drove her into a complete OmnicidalManiac bent on destroying Federation and all life on galaxy with her recently-assimilated drones in ''Picard's'' "Vox", rather than her usual AssimilationPlot goals she was often known for before her defeat from Janeway.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: The Prime timeline Queen is this to the Control of ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'''s second season, who are both the ArchNemesis of the main protagonists, are an OmnicidalManiac and are involved in an AssimilationPlot. While the Control is a Federation AI who went rogue from out of nowhere, the Borg Queen is a Borg drone who is the one powering her own KeystoneArmy in the shadows and has been considered a threat to all lifeforms for centuries. The Control creates a magnetized body of Leland to initiate its plan of destroying the ''Discovery'' and the Federation, while the Borg Queen uses an elaborate TrojanHorse scheme through Vadic and her rogue Changeling crew by infiltrating Starfleet and stealing Picard's Borg DNA to assimilate all of its younger officers and the fleet during Frontier Day.
