Who is Vadic in Star Trek Picard season 3?

Vadic is one of the major villains in Star Trek Picard season 3. She first shows up as the commander of her ship, the Shrike, which intercepts and attacks the Eleos on a mission to abduct Picard’s son Jack Crusher.

When the USS Titan turns up, she gives the Star Trek starship an ultimatum: hand over Jack Crusher or be destroyed. She tells Picard and Captain Shaw that she’s a bounty hunter, and that Jack Crusher is wanted for crimes committed across the galaxy.

But that just appears to be a guise, and in reality she wants Jack Crusher for more mysterious reasons. Some of the other mysteries surrounding the new villain have been revealed though, and we now know that she’s working with the Changelings and might also be a Changeling herself as seen in Star Trek Picard season 3 episode 4.
