Jean-Luc Picard as Kamin
Kamin was an ironworker on the planet Kataan sometime during the 14th century.
In 2368 the USS Enterprise encountered a probe launched from Kataan shortly before their sun went nova. The probe initiated a memory transfer with Captain Jean-Luc Picard and in less than 30 minutes he experienced a full 25 years of Kamin's life, including his marriage to Eline and the birth of their children.
However, Picard's former life was not completely obscured during the memory transfer and he retained many of his former interests, such as astronomy and music. During the period he experienced Kamin's life Picard struggled to master the Ressikan flute, made observations of the stars from Kataan, and conducted studies of the soil and climate of the planet. By the time his grandson was born Kamin had concluded that Kataan was a dying planet. He lived just long enough to witness the launch of the probe that he would encounter aboard the Enterprise several hundred years later. (TNG: "The Inner Light")
