Bar Brawl: A pivotal moment in his youth.

His present baldness helps to underscore how he has grown considerably Older and Wiser over the years.

It is indicated that he went Prematurely Bald somewhere in his late-twenties to early-thirties as he is depicted with hair in his younger years as an Ensign, when he was much more brash and arrogant.

Bald of Authority: Jean Luc Picard is one of the most iconic examples of the trope as the bald, diplomatic, compassionate, captain of the Enterprise-D.

'Starfleet was formed to seek out new life. He does this with all the skill of Hercule Poirot himself. (Kevin saw his wife get killed and went momentarily insane, which annihilated the entire species of the invaders).

In 'The Survivors', Picard summons the Uxbridge couple to the ship and deconstructs their fantasy life, revealing what really happened during the attack.

Once Moriarty gains self-awareness, he loses all interest in Data and instead demands to see Picard, who shows up wearing a silk top hat and tails - the preferred clothing of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. The costume was made popular by Basil Rathbone in the anachronistic film versions (set during WWII, with Sherlock foiling Nazi spies), but is not at all how Holmes dressed in the original Strand stories.

Interestingly, Data dons a deerstalker cap and tweed coat while pursing Moriarty through the holodeck.

The choice to have a Phillip Marlowe fan (as implied by the fictitious 'Dixon Hill' program) means he's going to seize the opportunity, however fleeting, to be a real-life sleuth - most notably in the episode 'Clues'.

The greatest diplomat of the last century, Sarek, finds PicardВ’s career to be 'satisfactory,' which is high praise from a Vulcan.

Ambadassador: Took Klingons to school on their own homeworld, brokered first contact with over 27 species, and helped define the legal rights of androids.

He winds up going on adventures of this type in 'Captain's Holiday,' 'The Chase,' and 'Gambit.'

Adventurer Archaeologist: Archaeology has long been a hobby of Jean-Luc's since his Academy days.

He talked an inexperienced pilot through a difficult maneuver in order to avoid a crash in 'Coming of Age', and most notably developed the Picard Maneuver (re-created in 'The Battle') which exploits the fact that a ship traveling at FTL velocities can appear to be in two places at once due to delays in light reaching the viewer.

Picard has taken the helm himself in situations where extremely precise maneuvering is needed to get the ship out of danger, such as 'Booby Trap' and 'In Theory'.

Depicted in a much more subtle manner than Kirk, and usually takes a backseat to his other talents.

Of all the alien phenomena experienced by Picard, the principal ones that affect him are Q and the Borg: the former making a bet that his 'enlightened' principles won't hold up in the darkness of space, and the latter threatening to change him into a violent, vengeful man - the very thing he despises. But according to Q, it was pretty awesome.

Anyway, only the Q Continuum understands what happened in that episode.

Among his in-series achievements: Jean-Luc invented a starship maneuver, assisted in First Contact with the Q, got the ball rolling on amendments to Federation law regarding android life (Sisko and Janeway followed his example in their respective Courtroom Episodes), and he thwarted a Borg invasion or two, assisted in Zefram Cochran's famous warp experiment (via time travel), chilled with Professor Moriarty and Mark Twain, brought Federation politics to the fore in his dealings with the Cardassians (setting the stage for DS9), and saved the universe from an eruption of Anti-Time or something.
