Biography
Shinzon was a male genetic clone of Jean-Luc Picard who was created by the Romulan Star Empire in the 24th century. He was developed by the Romulans as part of a covert strategy of infiltrating Starfleet by replacing the real Captain Picard. This plan, however, was abandoned, and Shinzon was exiled to the planet Remus.
In time, he came to strongly identity with the Remans to the point that he did not consider his human heritage. During the Dominion War, Shinzon came to be drafted into the Romulan military where they were sent from the mines to the frontlines to battle the Dominion. Shinzon came to distinguish himself in battle and prove to be a capable commanding officer of the Reman troops that the Romulans tended to use as cannon fodder against the enemy. During the war, he came to had led twelve successful engagement against their foe and returned triumphantly to the Romulan Sta Empire.
Picard and the USS Enterprise-E travel to Romulus to meet Shinzon and investigate his peace overture; Shinzon reveals his identity and origins to Picard. However, the peace overture is a ruse and part of a plan to lure Picard to Romulus; the cloning process that created Shinzon is killing him, and he requires an infusion of Picard's DNA to stay alive. Simultaneously, Shinzon plans to use a thalaron radiation weapon aboard his ship, the Scimitar, to destroy all life on Earth. Picard escapes from Shinzon, but the Scimitar attacks and severely damages the Enterprise. He transports aboard the Reman ship and kills Shinzon. Lieutenant Commander Data rescues Picard from the Scimitar and destroys the vessel's thalaron device, annihilating the ship and himself in the process.
