Sad News. Richard Herd has passed away today.
I think now would be a great time to add L'Kor to the game in his honor.
RIP Mr. Herd

Depends on whether you look at him through the eyes of young Tom Paris.
Starfleet does have a history of high level villains. Methinks Section 31 was so busy looking for threats outside of the Federation that they did not pay enough attention to threats from within.
But you're spot on - even in my youth I made the observation that if you were an Admiral in the Trek universe, you were as crooked as can be and were the bad guy of the story.
Yep. Cartwright and Dougherty were as crooked as they come.
Pressman was acting under orders...now that I’m thinking about it the whole Pegasus mission has Section 31 undertones but they weren’t a thing in TNG IIRC—and I may not. Haven’t had any coffee yet.
By their nature in the series, Admirals will tend to be at odds with the crew. There's rarely a story need for an admiral to call up a captain to give them a pat on the back. But even if the relationship is somewhat antagonistic, most aren't villains.
The recurring characters tend to be presented as more well-rounded: Ross, Forrest, Cornwell, and the like. Necheyev kind of falls in between, her relationship with Picard is strained, and some of the missions she's involved in are questionable.
Paris does stand out as an admiral who, despite some tension with his son, is involved with the crew in a far more positive manner. He's even patient with Barclay throughout the Pathfinder episode.
