A Spanish soldier and ancestor of Jean-Luc Picard who took part in the brutal reconquest that followed the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, a stain the Dorvan V colonists ask the captain to consider.
Javier Maribona-Picard was a soldier in the service of Spain in the late 17th century. After the Pueblo peoples of New Mexico rose and drove out the Spanish in 1680, he was among the troops who returned some years later and put down the revolt with great bloodshed.
His existence is revealed in The Next Generation episode Journey's End. Picard is ordered to remove a colony of North American Indian descent from Dorvan V, which a new treaty assigns to Cardassia. The tribal elder Anthwara, who has researched the captain's family, names Javier and suggests that Picard has been sent to erase that old guilt by refusing to repeat it. Picard rejects the mysticism but is troubled by the parallel.
Javier is never seen. In Star Trek Generations Picard speaks of other forebears, among them one who fought at Trafalgar.
