Savar

Vulcan admiral controlled by a parasite

A Vulcan Starfleet admiral at headquarters who has been taken over by one of the alien neural parasites and welcomes Picard and Riker to Earth in Conspiracy.

Admiral Savar is a senior Vulcan officer at Starfleet Command in San Francisco. He appears in the first-season episode Conspiracy.
With Admirals Quinn and Aaron he greets the Enterprise on its unscheduled return to Earth and invites Picard and Riker to dinner. All three are hosts to parasitic creatures that have been quietly infiltrating Starfleet's upper ranks and repositioning its forces.
At the dinner, where bowls of live grubs are served, Savar and the others try to hold Picard until he too can be implanted. Riker arrives pretending to be infected, and in the fight that follows the hosts are stunned with phasers. With the death of the mother creature inside Dexter Remmick, the parasites are destroyed.
