Command Officer Profiles

Admiral William Wilson Friends call him: Bill MARITAL STATUS: Wife, Arete (dec., 51.11) CHILDREN/DEPENDANTS: None BORN: 2498.134 COMMISSIONED: 22.07 (Academy LAST PROMOTED: 49.03 CURRENT ASSIGNMENT: Commander, Pegasus Station NOTES: Golfer (bad), back-slapper, pipe smoker (Sirian Red) Bill Wilson is an officer of uncommon intelligence and efficiency. As a battleship commander in the Pilgrim con- flict he displayed remarkable imagination and courage. His courage remains, but he seems to have lost the spark of inspiration in recent years. Right now, Wilson seems best suited to the role of base commander. I don't think he'd be happy on staff (though he'd make a superior logistics and supply officer), and I don't think he has the fire for fleet command. If he asks for retirement at 35 I'll grant it, if he decides to stay on until he gets his 40 that's all right as well. However, I don't see him getting any further promotions. I could easily see him staying in charge at Pegasus for the duration and beyond.

Not particularly popular with his men, but he keeps discipline. Don't put him too near the action, or too far in the rear―he's exactly the kind of man we need reinforcing the front. Very blunt―keep the press away, and don't let him loose on the Senate without a leash. There are persistant rumors of a drinking problem. I've looked into this, and they're nonsense, although I suspect he did go through a brief bad time after the death of his wife (note: don't mention Mrs. Wilson unless he does so first―puts him in a bad mood.) I've only had a few private conversations with Wilson, but I suspect he's religious, in a mystical kind of way. Seems to prefer to keep the details to himself. If he's needed at HQ or Terra, try to work some golfing time in, does wonders for his morale. I've never seen him happier than after 18 holes with two senators and a general, all equally pathetic at the game. Also fishes a bit, though he definitely prefers the links. Other than that, doesn't seem to have any hobbies.
