American actor and singer who played Zani, the head of the Qowat Milat house of warrior nuns on Vashti, in the first-season Star Trek: Picard episode Absolute Candor.
Amirah Vann is an American actor known for acclaimed work in television drama and on stage.
She appears in Star Trek: Picard as Zani, leader of the Qowat Milat community on the planet Vashti. In the flashbacks of Absolute Candor she is Picard's friend and partner in resettling Romulan refugees, and she has taken in the orphaned boy Elnor.
Fourteen years later Zani receives Picard again despite his long silence. She explains the order's practice of binding a sword to a lost cause and suggests that Elnor, who as a male cannot become a full member of the sisterhood, might be the fighter Picard needs.
