He's a time-travelling secret agent. He's only a 'villain' from the protagonists' perspective and is, in fact, trying to change the timeline back. This gives The Powers That Be a chance to undo the entire reboot and turn it into a temporal hiccup if they choose at the end of the story.

I recently found a place to download Michael Piller's unpublished book, "Fade In: The Writing of Star Trek Insurrection." It's a surprisingly compelling read for how disappointing the movie was. There were a few ideas rejected that could have made the movie unintentionally hilarious, and some rejected ideas could have made the movie tolerable. I don't think I can attach a .pdf so I'll link to another forum where you can download it.

Some interesting news regarding Axanar.

I think there are valid views on both sides.. Paramount, in all fairness, does have the right to protect its property, but there also is the viewpoint that, with a franchise as old as this, one could put a case that it's in public domain. I think if they can and have reached a compromise, it will speak well for the future for both sides of the argument.
