Who Is Locutus Of Borg In Star Trek?

W hile in one sense Locutus of Borg lived and died only in the two-part Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Best of Both Worlds," the villain's influence stays with Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) throughout the hero's life. Locutus is who Picard becomes in the game-changing TNG story after he's assimilated by the Borg, and along with inflicting the Trek hero with lasting psychological trauma the experience leads to disastrous consequences for Starfleet itself. Locutus' legacy has been felt acutely as recently as the revival series Star Trek: Picard .

When the crew of the Enterprise-D first encounter the Borg in the Season 2 TNG episode "Q Who," the bizarre species is one seemingly without individuals. The Borg are on a violent quest to achieve perfection by assimilating other species' biological and technological advances into their own hive mind. The heroes are surprised in "The Best of Both Worlds" to learn that creating an individual, Locutus, is central to their plan to assimilate Earth and the United Federation of Planets.

When the Borg invade the Federation, Picard is initially confused but grateful that the single Borg Cube is initially focused on the Enterprise-D. The Borg, we learn, have decided that assimilating Earth is challenging enough of a task that they need a representative with a face that will be familiar to Earth's people. It is decided that - unlike Borg Drones, who are not individuals and are given only numerical designations like Jeri Ryan‘s Seven of Nine - Picard will be captured and assimilated as "Locutus of Borg," in order to act as the Collective's representative.

As Locutus, with his will stripped away from him, Picard is forced to contribute to thousands of deaths at the Battle of Wolf 359 , where 39 Starfleet ships intercept the Borg Cube in hopes of stopping its progress. With Picard's knowledge of Starfleet helping it, the Cube destroys all 39 ships, and either kills or assimilates close to 11,000 Starfleet personnel.

Although Locutus helps the Borg win Wolf 359, he proves to be the weakness that the Riker (Jonathan Frakes) led Enterprise uses to defeat the Borg. Data ( Brent Spiner ) and Worf (Michael Dorn) are dispatched to rescue Picard from the Borg Cube, and back on the Enterprise Data and Dr. Crusher (Gates McFadden) are able to reach their friend within Locutus. In part thanks to a cryptic clue from Picard, Data is able to use Picard's connection to the Borg Collective to order the Cube to enter its rest mode, halting its advance toward Earth.

After the Borg are defeated, Crusher removes the surgical implants from Picard, but the specter of Locutus lives on in a few ways, both good and bad. On the less pleasant side of things, it soon becomes clear that the experience has shook Picard like never before. In "Family" - the episode immediately following "The Best of Both Worlds, Part 2" - sensing something is wrong with Jean-Luc, his older brother Robert (Jeremy Kemp) goads him into a fight, after which Jean-Luc breaks down in tears, admitting to how helpless he was against the Borg.

That trauma surfaces in ugly ways in 1996's Star Trek: First Contact , when Picard's hunger for vengeance on the Borg pushes him to make mistakes. Thankfully the Enterprise-E's surprise guest Lily (Alfre Woodard) is able to talk sense into him.

While no one on the Enterprise crew seems to trust Picard any less because of his transformation into Locutus, the rest of the Federation doesn't necessarily feel the same. As remembered my Memory Alpha , Picard's time as Locutus is used against him in an inquiry later in Season 4 in "The Drumhead" and in the series premiere of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , Commander Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) - whose wife dies in the Battle of Wolf 359 - makes it clear to Picard that he'd like to tear the Enterprise captain's head off. As recently as the Season 3 premiere of Star Trek: Picard , in fact, Captain Liam Shaw (Todd Stashwick) refers to the titular hero as a "former ex-Borg" with disgust.

One positive aspect of Picard's time as Locutus is that it gives him insight that helps him in future confrontations with the Borg. For example in First Contact , a lingering connection with the Borg allows him to find a weak spot in the Borg Cube that helps the gathered defense fleet destroy it. It also lends him insights in the weaknesses of the Borg Queen (Alice Krige).

His time as Locutus also gives Picard a connection to other former Borg, such as Jonathan Del Arco's Hugh - who Picard first meets in the TNG episode "I, Borg" - and Seven of Nine. This is particularly helpful in the first season of Star Trek: Picard , when even former Borg drones still recognize him as Locutus.

With Picard's consciousness transferred from his old body into an artificial one at the end of Star Trek: Picard ‘s first season, any lingering connection to the Borg was presumably lost. But if nothing else his memories of being part of the Borg will stay with him until the end of his story in the franchise.

Locutus of Borg

General [ ].

Type of Drone: Diplomatic

Enhancements/Augmentations: Cortical Implant, Servo-Armature, Exo-Plating.

Background [ ]

In 2366 Captain Jean-Luc Picard was assimilated to be a counterpart between humanity and the Borg alongside the Borg Queen herself. Following his assimilation, the Borg Collective gained tremendous amounts of knowledge including Picard's personal lifetime experience and expertise. Also gaining data relating to Federation starship designs including tactical weaknesses and strengths of each design from 2289 to 2360 plus the entire vessel deployment locations of Starfleet's response force to the Borg's first invasion attempt. This knowledge lead to the destruction of 39 starfleet ships resulting in 11,000 deaths by a single cube during the battle of Wolf 359 which occured when Starfeet attempted to intercept the cube and prevent it from reaching Earth. Following the battle of Wolf 359 the cube continued towards earth, breaching the Mars Defense Perimeter and defeating the small fleet stationed there before taking up position in Earth's orbit as it prepared to assimilate earth. The Enterprise-D lead by Commander William T. Riker were able to infiltrate the cube, kidnap Locutus and use his uplink to the hive mind to implant the looping command to regenerate into the drones aboard which could not be overidden, the Borg Queen then activated the vessels self-destruct sequence.

Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3's Rumored Filming Location Confirmed By Norman Reedus

Doctor who's regeneration retcon is an rtd apology 19 years in the making, 8 best thriller tv shows of 2024.

Warning: SPOILERS for Star Trek: Picard Season 3, Episode 4 - "No Win Scenario"

In Star Trek: Picard season 3, episode 4, "No Win Scenario," Captain Liam Shaw (Todd Stashwick) answers the decades-old mystery of why the Borg named Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) 'Locutus of Borg' when they assimilated him in Star Trek: The Next Generation . Picard's brief time was the 'spokesman' of the Borg Collective has haunted him ever since. Jean-Luc has defeated the Borg time and again, yet the trauma of being turned into Locutus, and the shame of the blood on his hands, remain part of Picard's psyche.

Captain Shaw interrupted Admiral Picard's bonding time with his son, Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers), in Star Trek: Picard season 3, episode 4. Shaw bellied up to the bar of the USS Titan-A's holodeck recreation of 10 Forward and revealed exactly why he hates Picard: Shaw is one of the few survivors of TNG 's Battle of Wolf 359. An engineer aboard the USS Constance, Shaw was randomly chosen to live as the Borg, led by Locutus, massacred 40 Federation starships and murdered 11,000 Starfleet Officers. Shaw's riveting monologue was pointed squarely at Picard, the reclaimed, ex-Borg, who he blames for all of those deaths and the trauma Liam has lived with since.

Why Picard Was Locutus - The Only Borg Given A Name

As Captain Shaw tore into Admiral Picard for "setting the world on fire" at Wolf 359, Liam accused Jean-Luc as Locutus of being, " The only Borg so deadly they gave him a goddamn name. " This may be mere conjecture on Shaw's part, but it does provide a credible answer for why the Borg called Picard Locutus. When Picard met the Borg Queen (Alice Krige) in Star Trek: First Contact , he learned that she wanted him to be "a counterpart" for herself atop the Borg hive mind. Thus, among the billions of life forms the Borg assimilated, Jean-Luc Picard was always considered special by the Collective.

Another possibility is that Jean-Luc Picard's sense of self was so strong that the Borg allowed him this shred of individuality by giving Locutus a name instead of a mere numerical designation. Indeed, Picard was never intended to be a mere drone. At the very least, Locutus was a spokesman for the Borg, and the Borg Queen later confirmed she had greater aspirations for the assimilated Picard. Captain Shaw's assertion for how "deadly" Locutus was is also correct; Picard was a prize catch for the Borg because through the Captain of the Enterprise, the Borg learned details of Starfleet technology and strategy. Hence, the Borg was easily able to decimate Starfleet at Wolf 359.

Why Seven Of Nine Keeps Her Borg Designation Instead Of Her Human Name

The flip side of Locutus of Borg is Seven of Nine (Jeri Ryan). As detailed in Star Trek: Voyager , Seven was once Annika Hansen, and she was just a young girl when the Borg assimilated her. Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero One, was a mere Borg drone when her humanity was reclaimed by Captain Kathery Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) and the crew of the USS Voyager. Because Seven spent most of her life as a Borg, she no longer identifies as Annika Hansen, whose brief life is just a memory to her.

Seven of Nine prefers to be known by her Borg designation even as a Starfleet Commander and First Officer of the USS Titan-A. However, her Captain, Liam Shaw, forces Seven to go by the name "Commander Annika Hansen," partly because "Seven of Nine" is painful reminder of his near-death experience at the Borg's hands at Wolf 359. Seven taught Shaw a lesson about "respect" towards her preferred name in Star Trek: Picard season 3, episode 4, but Admiral Jean-Luc Picard never wants to be known as Locutus of Borg again, though Picard also must occasionally face the fact that Locutus will always be part of him.

Locutus was created when the Borg assimilated Jean-Luc Picard to act as Speaker of the Borg Collective to the Federation , to prepare the people of the Federation for assimilation. Locutus ceased to exist when the link with the Collective was severed and Picard was returned to normal. ( TNG episode : " The Best of Both Worlds ") The memory of his time as Locutus haunted Picard for many years. ( TNG movie : Star Trek: First Contact , et al.)

Locutus cloned [ ]

Locutus, the clone.

Locutus returned in 2376 when in the first stages of an invasion of the Alpha Quadrant the Borg assimilated a Dominion cloning facility and recreated the assimilated form of Picard.

This Locutus lead the Borg invasion, and in one timeline succeeded in the complete assimilation of the Federation leading the Borg forces to take Earth . However, with the help of the USS Premonition , Picard was able to take the USS Enterprise -E back in time to prevent the Borg invasion. Locutus's Cube was destroyed but he managed to escape in a Borg Sphere fleeing back in time to destroy the USS Enterprise -D shortly after its first mission to Farpoint Station . Fortunately, the USS Premonition followed Locutus back and destroyed the Sphere before it could attack the Enterprise and alter history. The clone died as a result. ( ST video game : Armada )

Locutus returns [ ]

Resistance .

In 2380 , Picard again heard the "voice" of the Borg and discovered the location of a nearby hive that was close to completing construction on a giant cube and resurrecting the Borg Queen by transforming a normal drone into the appropriate female form.

Defying the orders of Admiral Kathryn Janeway , Picard diverted the Enterprise from her assigned mission, and went to confront the Borg.

After losing an Away Team to the Borg, who now attacked on sight, Picard determined that the only way to get close enough to the queen to destroy her was to infiltrate himself, as Locutus.

His transformation was accomplished by Dr. Beverly Crusher , who implanted a chip in Picard's Borg cybernetics that would allow him to remain himself.

The operation didn't go as planned and Picard was captured by the Queen, who finished his transformation back into Locutus. Using a Romulan cloaking device , Commander Worf brought the Enterprise within range of the cube and began a rescue operation.

The Queen was defeated by Dr. Crusher, who had developed a way to reverse the Queen's transformation and revert her to a normal drone. With the Queen's defeat, all of her drones, including Locutus, went into hibernation mode.

Upon returning with Locutus/Picard to the Enterprise , Dr. Crusher reversed the process and restored Picard. ( TNG novel : Resistance )

At some point in the same year, Picard encountered the rogue Vulcan T'Uerell who was attempting to form a Collective of her own in order to impose her cold logic and order on the galaxy. When she encountered Picard's assembled task force of Federation, Klingon Empire and Romulan Star Empire ; she referred to Picard as Locutus. ( ST video game : Legacy )

Also in the same year, the Borg appeared in orbit of Earth claiming that they had encountered a powerful alien from an alternate universe. They specifically requested the help of Picard. This turned out to be a Borg ruse, however, and the fleet was decimated. But when a version of Data appeared from the future, having been sent by Locutus of 500 years hence, Picard agreed to allow himself to be assimilated again, directly by the queen. He briefly became Locutus again, but in the process introduced a nanovirus to the collective that destroyed them utterly. ( TNG comic : " Hive ")

Parallel universes [ ]

In a parallel universe where (among other differences) the USS Enterprise -D 's attempt to retrieve Locutus during the initial invasion failed, Locutus managed to circumvent the collective to open rifts to different universes. ( TNG comic : " The Worst of Both Worlds ")

The Enterprise crew from both universes worked together to retrieve Locutus from the former Starfleet headquarters on Earth and implement an "eat" command, destroying the Borg by forcing them to draw energy all at once. Beverly Crusher then restored the alternate Picard to human form. ( TNG comic : " And Death Shall Have No Dominion ")

In 2375 , Q took Picard to other parallel universes , in order to bring balance to all of reality. They arrived in one where Locutus continued to thrive; deadlier and more consistent than the version of "their" universe. Q was actually relieved when " mon Capitain " finally stopped his pursuit of them, with an explosion. ( TNG novel : I, Q )

Alternate timeline [ ]

In an alternate timeline , the Borg succeeded in a ruse to destroy most of Starfleet and, in the process, they re-assimilated Picard. He once again became Locutus, and reigned for 500 years alongside the Borg Queen. He then recreated Data from his stored intelligence and sent him on a mission to the past to destroy the Borg.

'Working With My Hero': Star Trek: Section 31 Actor Praises Co-Star Michelle Yeoh

Exclusive: wolverine bonds with a deadly symbiote in new venom series, x-men's nightcrawler, explained.

Captain Picard and the crew of the Enterprise have been to the brightest stars and darkest corners of the Star Trek universe. One of their most iconic adventures is depicted across two episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation   entitled "The Best of Both Worlds." The crew has a run-in with the Borg, a race of hive-mind-controlled aliens hellbent on assimilating the universe into their collective. In the special, Picard is captured by the Borg and forced to become Locutus, a sort of living command center. Fortunately for Picard and the people of Earth, the crew of the Enterprise is able to free Picard and stop the Borg before it wipes out the entire Federation and assimilates the entire human race.

However, things didn't end so cleanly in one of Star Trek's many divergent timelines.  Writer Michael Jan Friedman and artist Peter Krause explore the answers to these daunting questions in their 1993 Star Trek: The Next Generation storyline "The Worst of Both Worlds," which ran from Star Trek: TNG #47-50. The story begins on the Enterprise years after the events of "The Best of Both Worlds." Picard and crew are on a fairly routine mission to Mardion Three, which is uncomfortably close to Wolf 359, where they once fought the Borg.

Suddenly, they are pulled into an "anomaly" which pulls them into an alternate dimension. Before Picard and Riker can begin to understand what's happened, they encounter a second Enterprise which quickly beams them aboard. Worf's warrior instincts immediately kick in and he lunges at the mysterious people who have taken them onto their ship without permission only to find himself face to face with a version of himself. In fact, everyone on this ship is a doppelganger of an Enterprise crew member.

After their initial fracas, the captain of the alternative Enterprise introduces himself in an effort to make sense of the situation. Where readers might expect to find an alternative Picard, they instead find a haggard, eye-patch-wearing William T. Riker in his place. Riker explains that in this universe, the Enterprise and humanity lost the battle of the Borg. They were unable to free Picard, who is still the Locutus to this day. Sadly, Picard wasn't the only crew member they lost. Data, Counselor Troi, Guinan and Keiko all died tragically at the hands of the Borg. Later, Wesley reveals that his mother, Doctor Beverly Crusher, was most likely assimilated when the Borg got to earth. In fact, in this timeline - 90% of humanity is under the control of the Borg.

Related: Star Trek: How Doctor Who Crashed Into the Next Generation

The tragic results of their confrontation with the Borg has changed the crew, who are far more bitter and angry than their counterparts. Their sole purpose is to fight the Borg empire. Worf blames himself for not being able to rescue his captain; Geordi La Forge can't even look at the main universe's Data because he is too painful of a reminder of the friend he lost and Comms officer Miles O'Brien still grieves the loss of his wife Keiko. There is a particularly heartbreaking moment when O'Brien meets the other Keiko and her daughter. This glimpse of the family he might have had, the family another version of him has is clearly too difficult for him to handle.

Another significant difference between the two universes can be found in the presence of Commander Shelby. In the "Best of Both Worlds" timeline, Shelby leaves the Enterprise after a short stint to help rebuild the parts of the Federation that the Borg destroyed. But in this timeline, she is still aboard the Enterprise and full of bitter resentment for Captain Riker for not following her lead years ago.

After seeing the plight of the crew and the universe, Picard and his crew agree to help rescue Locutus and defeat the Borg. After all, they've done it once already, and this time they have two ships. Both crews journey to Earth where Locutus is being held. They fight a horde of Borg soldiers and manage to beam back onto the Enterprise with Locutus in tow, but they aren't unscathed, as this universe's Worf died in the battle. Data establishes a neural link to the Locutus and commands all of the Borg soldiers to "Eat" at once. This causes them to drain all of their power sources, thus defeating the Borg empire and freeing Picard.

Related: Star Trek: The Next Generation's Original Villains Were SUPPOSED to Be the Ferengi

Once Picard has recovered from his time as Locutus, he reveals that he channeled all of humanity's subconscious desire to defeat the Borg to open up a rift between dimensions and summon the other Enterprise. The original crew heads back home through the same dimensional rift, leaving behind a newly freed, but still wounded universe.

While Star Trek: The Next Generation featured plenty of timelines where events played out differently, this stands as one of the darkest turns of events in this iteration of the sci-fi franchise. The Borg were arguably this era's definitive villains, and plenty of Picard's adventures involved trying to stop the Borg from assimilating Earth. While those timelines were only ever glimpsed on the show, this storyline highlighted the immense personal costs of defeat in agonizing detail.

• CBR Exclusives

Locutus of Borg was the Borg designation forced upon Captain Jean-Luc Picard after his assimilation in late 2366. The Borg intended to use Picard as an intermediary, a spokesman for the Human race in order to facilitate the assimilation of Earth in order to make the process as quick and efficient (or as perfect, if you keep the Borg's driving force in mind) as possible with the fewest number of casualties on both sides. This suggests that the Federation was one of the most advanced civilizations the Borg tried to conquer, certainly more advanced than they were used to and possibly even realised the Federation could pose a challenge. So they decided to try a different approach rather than their usual assimilation techniques of arriving and assimilating worlds one sector at a time.

Picard's assimilation also allowed the Borg to acquire the whole of Picard's knowledge and experience, as well as his own personal knowledge (a fact that was made apparent when Locutus addressed Commander Riker as "Number One"). Picard's detailed information regarding Federation technology and strategy yielded the Borg a significant tactical advantage when Starfleet confronted the Borg Cube at Wolf 359 . (DS9: "Emissary")

This access proved two-way however, as the crew of the USS Enterprise-D was able to capture Locutus and use his link to disable and destroy the Borg vessel by sending the Borg cube a command to regenerate, creating a feedback loop that destroyed the cube and severed Picard's link to the Collective . (TNG: "The Best of Both Worlds", "The Best of Both Worlds, Part II")

Though his implants were removed and his wounds were allowed to heal, Picard's assimilation continued to haunt him. He returned to Earth, paying a visit to his family in La Barre, France, where he eventually confronted his demons. (TNG: "Family")

When Benjamin Sisko made contact with the Prophets in 2369, one took the form of Locutus as he appeared on the viewscreen of Sisko's ship, the USS Saratoga, shortly before the Battle of Wolf 359 . (DS9: "Emissary") Locutus with the Borg Queen

When the Borg attempted a second invasion in 2373 (See: Battle of Sector 001), Picard's experience with the Borg allowed him to pinpoint a weakness in the Borg defenses, allowing the fleet to destroy the invading vessel. It was later revealed that Locutus was to have been more than a mere drone. The Borg Queen had intended for Picard to become her counterpart, an equal, a way to bridge the gap between humanity and the Borg. However, when Picard refused to give in to the Queen and accept his assimilation, despite being incapable of moving even a finger following assimilation, the Queen was forced to turn Locutus into just another drone. (Star Trek: First Contact) Even Borg Drones such as Third of Five still recognized Picard as Locutus after his separation from the Collective, possibly because the Borg's belief in their perfection meant that they couldn't believe anyone would actually leave the Collective (coupled with the fact that his memories presumably remained in the Borg's hive mind). (TNG: "I Borg", "Descent")

When Captain Kathryn Janeway was conducting negotiations with the Borg in 2374 during the Borg- Species 8472 War, she requested to speak to an individual, citing to the Borg that "You've done it before. When you transformed Jean-Luc Picard into Locutus." (VOY: "Scorpion, Part II")

El concepto de líder de los Borg crea un gran debate ya que estos no podían pensar por uno solo. Pero el usar la voz de Locutus era parte de un plan para asimilar a la Federación.

Cuando Picard estaba dentro del Colectivo Borg no solo asimilaron su cuerpo sino también los conocimientos y experiencia. Haciéndolo responsable por la masacre masiva de Wolf 359 . Pero este acceso tenia dos caras. La captura de Locutus por el personal del Enterprise también les dio el acceso a la conciencia del Colectivo Borg .

Ellos pudieron derrotar a los Borgs. Locutus fue la pareja voluntaria de la Reina Borg , con su propia mente y no como otro dron. Ella invita amigablemente a Picard a ser parte del Colectivo cosa que claro nunca acepta. Siendo finalmente asimilado como todos sabemos.

Los implantes Borg de Locutus todavía le hacen dar terribles jaquecas a Jean Luc.
