Jason Vigo

Jason Vigo was born to Miranda Vigo in 2347 not long after she and Captain Jean-Luc Picard concluded an intense love affair, but his father was another member of Starfleet.

Vigo never knew who his father was, and in 2356 he and his mother relocated to Camor V where he pursued a generally directionless life and was arrested several times for minor offenses. He also was an experienced climber.

In 2370, DaiMon Bok wanted to take revenge on Picard for the loss of his son, who was killed at the Battle of Maxia. He resequenced Vigo's DNA in order to convince Picard that Vigo was his son. Once Picard and Vigo bonded, despite the initial difficulties, Bok kidnapped Vigo and threatened to kill him. Picard discovered that he was not Vigo's father because Vigo had Forrester-Trent Syndrome, a condition which is inherited from one's parents, but neither Picard nor Miranda Vigo had the disease. When Doctor Beverly Crusher further investigated Jason's DNA, she discovered that he was not Picard's son. Picard then transported to Bok's ship and informed him that Vigo was not his son. Once informed of the truth, Bok's associates, who had been told that they would ransom Vigo back to Picard, realized that there was no profit in Bok's actions, and quickly turned on him and released Vigo, who returned to Camor V with the will to get his life in order. As a farewell present, he received a Gorlan prayer stick from Picard and suggested that Picard look him up any time he was in the area.
