The following list includes Star Trek: Picard's main cast, as well as all guest stars deemed to have had recurring roles throughout the series, and a supplementary list of other noteworthy guests.
Jean-Luc Picard (portrayed by Patrick Stewart) is a retired Starfleet admiral and former captain of its flagship vessel USS Enterprise. Stewart was reprising his role from Star Trek: The Next Generation and subsequent television series and movies by August 4, 2018.[1] In the series, Picard has been retired from Starfleet for 14 years, living in his chateau in France, until he meets Dahj and goes on his personal mission to find and to protect her sister. He has a brain condition that is terminal. At the end of the first season, he dies from his brain anomaly, but his consciousness is transferred into a new synthetic "golem" body that Soong had prepared.
Agnes Jurati
Agnes Jurati (portrayed by Alison Pill) is a doctor working for the Daystrom Institute's Division of Advanced Synthetic Research in Okinawa who was recruited by Dr. Bruce Maddox. She hopes to interact with an actual synth. After being subject to a Vulcan mind meld by Commodore Oh where she sees the atrocities from the Admonition, she is ordered to join Picard's crew to kill the synth as well as Maddox, who was also her lover. She also ingests a tracker that allows Oh and Narek to track the La Sirena.
Soji Asha
Dahj and Soji Asha (portrayed by Isa Briones) are the twin android daughters of the late Lieutenant Commander Data. In the opening episode, Dahj asks Picard to help her find out why she is being attacked—and why she is able to defend herself so well. She is destroyed before his eyes. Meanwhile, Soji has been working on a Borg cube known as the "Artifact", now in the hands of Romulans, where she helps to reclaim victims of the Borg. Briones also portrays Sutra, an android on her home planet Coppelius, created by Bruce Maddox and Altan Inigo Soong. Sutra's twin, Jana, was killed prior to the series' events when she and another synth named Flower were the envoys to make first contact with USS Ibn Majid.
Narek
Narek (portrayed by Harry Treadaway) is a Romulan at the Artifact Borg cube, spying on Soji Asha for the Zhat Vash. At the beginning of the series, he befriends and becomes Soji's lover as part of his cover. In the episode "The Impossible Box", he guides Soji through a Zhal Makh meditation exercise so that she reveals the whereabouts of her home world, and then betrays her. He then pursues Rios's ship, eventually following it to Soji's home world Coppelius. Although he is captured, he is freed by Sutra and returns to the Artifact. He works a deal with Rios to try to infiltrate the synth base and disable their newly built beacon. Picard showrunner Michael Chabon said there was originally a scene where Narek was taken into custody by the Federation but it was dropped during the editing of the episode finale.[2]
Raffi Musiker
Rafaella "Raffi" Musiker (portrayed by Michelle Hurd)[3][4] is a former Starfleet intelligence officer struggling with substance abuse who served as Picard's first officer during the Romulan evacuation.[5] When she joins Picard's crew, she handles communications and is able to get clearances so Picard and friends can land on the planet. At Freecloud, she meets her son, who is married with an expectant child, but he rejects her attempt at reconciliation. She begins a relationship with Seven at the end of season 1 and rejoins Starfleet before season 2.
Chris Rios
Cristóbal "Chris" Rios (portrayed by Santiago Cabrera) is a former Starfleet officer, now owner and pilot of La Sirena. He is also a skilled thief. Picard has hired his services on Raffi's recommendation. Cabrera also plays Rios's ship's 5 holograms, each with their own area of expertise in servicing the ship and its crew. He left Starfleet because of what happened on the USS Ibn Majid; he returns to Starfleet before season 2
Elnor
Elnor (portrayed by Evan Evagora)[a][4][7] is a Romulan refugee, who was relocated from Picard's efforts 14 years prior. He is an expert in hand-to-hand combat and is fiercely loyal to Picard.[8] He was raised from a young boy by the sisters of the Quat Milat. Because of their core tenet of absolute candor, he is trained never to lie. In the first season, he pledges to support Picard, and then briefly supports Hugh when Picard and Soji escape from the Artifact. He joins Starfleet Academy and is a cadet in season 2.
