William Eisen

Captain William Eisen is a fictional character in the Wing Commander computer game and novel series.

William Eisen is first introduced in Wing Commander III, as captain of the Victory, the carrier that serves as Colonel Blair's home base. Throughout the game and the novel based on the game, he proves himself to be a good man and fine officer, who is as much a father figure to the Victory's crew as a military commander. In Wing Commander IV, he is again the commander of Col. Blair's home ship, this time the heavy carrier Lexington. As the game and its spinoff novel progress, Eisen, suspecting a conspiracy within the Confederation government, defects to the Border Worlds, followed soon after by Blair and several other pilots, where he commands the Border Worlds carrier Intrepid during the brief shooting war with the Confederation. At the story's conclusion, exonerated along with Blair and his friends, Eisen receives a promotion to admiral. The Vesuvius-class TCS Eisen is presumably named for him.

In the computer games, Eisen is played by Jason Bernard.
