Cast
Wing Commander Characters and Cast
The main character is Christopher Blair. Mark Hamill plays him in the full-motion-video games. Freddie Prinze Jr. plays him in the 1999 film. Everyone else in the table is a wingman, a commander, or a Kilrathi who matters to more than one game. Two names have enough search traffic for a full page.
Why most names stay a row
Hobbes, Angel, Tolwyn, Paladin, Flint, Thrakhath and the Prophecy pilot Casey are in the table because the games name them. They do not yet have a page of their own. A label that only swaps the callsign into the same paragraph would be a thin page, so they stay here until there is a distinct story to tell. "Bossman" stays off the table: I do not have two sources tying that nickname to this series.
