William Adama

Admiral William Adama is the major protagonist of the science fiction TV series, Battlestar Galactica. He was an officer in the Colonial Fleet. Born to a Caprican family of Tauron heritage, Adama was conscripted into military service during the Cylon War, in which he served as a Raptor and Viper pilot under the callsign "Husker". Following a career in the merchant navy, Adama's connections allowed for him to be remobilised. During this second career he rose to become a Commander, the lowest rank possible to command a Battlestar. Although serving on such ships as Atlantia and Valkyrie, Adama's career went through a period of winding down when he was assigned to Galactica, which was to be decommissioned. Due to his refusal to network the ship, Galactica survived the Fall of the Twelve Colonies, and Adama worked with the civilian President Laura Roslin in leading a refugee convoy in search of Earth.
==Bio==
Bill Adama is an semi-retired Commander who was assigned to Galactica in the twilight of his career to oversee her decommissioning. As a veteran of the First Cylon War, where he served as a Viper pilot on the selfsame Galactica, he is actually one of the better choices for command in the second war.
==Personality==
William Adama is a highly effective military commander and pragmatic leader, with the ideal personality and traits found in successful leaders. He is methodical, formal and extremely objective in both his personal life and professional life as the admiral of the fleet.
His military prowess centers around being highly strategic, while rarely succumbing to emotion when making leadership decisions, with few rare exceptions when his strategic thinking is pitted against loved ones, specifically with his son, Lee, his pilot whom he refers to as his "daughter," Kara Thrace, high XO Saul Tigh, the president of the 12 colonies and his love interest, Laura Roslin, as well as other members of his command who her refers to as "family" on multiple occasions.
William Adama also has a very stoic personality, whereby his facial expressions and mannerisms rarely change, especially when under pressure, making him a highly capable leader when faced with difficult or seemingly impossible situations.
