Personality

Bill initially comes off as a typical Borg, complete with odd head twitches and a disconcerting stare, as if he's trying to interprest commands to a central processor. This impression wears off when he begins to speak; while he uses precise diction, the tone of his voice has a greater warmth than one would expect from a species known to just assimilate other cultures.

As a starship captain, he maintains a laser-focus on the task before him. As his ship is a combat vessel, he is always careful to determine how best to apply its strengths. He is unhappy that he has few opportunities to engage in scientific exploration, he accepts that at this point in time, the Federation needs battle-tested commanders more than it needs another scientist.

Biography

Bill is from one of several colonies established by the branch of Liberated Borg created by Hugh. Details on his colony are sketchy, but they established diplomatic contacts with the Federation in 2397. Bill himself was a scientist with a specialty in stellar formations; he was accepted into Starfleet Academy in 2399 on the recommendation of Admiral Masood al-Sania. Bill quickly decided that starship duty was the goal to push for-after all, stellar formations are easier to study when you're closer to them. Upon graduation, he was assigned to the USS Calculus, a science vessel assigned to the Delta Volanis cluster.

By 2409, Bill had been fast-tracked to Captain thanks to the Klingon War, and had taken command of a Defiant-class vessel: the USS Integral. He worked with a number of engineers to retrofit Borg tech to the ship, and the design work has drastically altered the appearance of the ship. The tradeoff gave the ship the capability to slug it out with the returned Borg menace. Since then, the ship and its captain have been assigned to the Corps of Discovery, to help give that fleet an expert in Borg tech. In 2410, however, Bill was reassigned to the USS Drake, to put his scientific knowledge to more tactical use.

Hobbies/Pastimes

Bill will spend his spare time reading scientific journals on stellar formations. While he is frequently unable to engage in direct studies at this time, he does try to keep up with the current literature.

Bill is also trying to master several different styles of dance in an attempt to help ease the perception that he is an emotionless part of the Collective. He's having dubious success.

Political Ideology

Bill is all about the common good. A remnant of his Borg upbringing/programming, he believe in finding a path that is good for all-or failing that, the greatest good for the greatest number.
