Q Knows Picard's Darkest Secret - He Never Stopped Being a Borg
While Jean-Luc Picard is one of the most decorated and celebrated captains in Star Trek history, his initiation into the Borg turned him into a deadly threat - and the godlike Q confirms that his Locutus identity lives on.
In 2366, Picard was assimilated into the Borg Collective, and through him the Collective gained access to troves of data on Starfleet tactics and technology which they used to great advantage during the Battle of Wolf 359. However, unlike other assimilated drones, Locutus was left with a sliver of his own autonomy and individuality, so as best to facilitate the assimilation of Earth. The Borg Queen even intended Locutus to equal her, to make him her perfect counterpart. Thankfully, this also allowed the crew of the USS Enterprise-d to more easily save their captain, sever his link to the Collective and return him to his humanity.
