This was an easy question to answer: Jean-Luc Picard. On the one hand he has been the first captain I met from the Star Trek universe, and I think it was his way of operating the ship and managing both his crew and missions that made me a fan. Given the period the Next Generation was created in, he is a much less 'knight in shining armour' type of cpatain than Kirk. He is a great negotiator and diplomat in most cases, but we also get to know his flows and mistakes, thus he remains very human. He is not afraid to discuss and have a strong opinion on controversial topics, such as the rights and status of an android. I've always wanted to become a leader similar to him. At the same time, he is also a character who is deeply engaged with culture, another characteristic that resonates deeply with me personally. What I was always curious to know, also as a person travelling a lot for work and thus reading e-books all the time for the last year, where he had kept the great supply of books he was reading. Did they come from the replicator or the holodeck? Or was there a never seen library on board?
