This page is an attempt to list all the personalities that have cropped up in the universe campaign over the last ten years or so. Of course it will only pick up a few of those, but it is a start point.
There is also a Who's Who, but that just tells you the name of current postholders at the top of the tree, I want this section to have what is known of people's biographies and any previous posts, even if they are no longer in office and even if they are relatively minor characters.

Chairman William Jackson
From the Free Worlds Alliance, former High Admiral and current Chairman of the Council of Defense Ministers. Played by Eric.
Current Position
Since 3207.231 he has been Chairman of the Council of Defense Ministers of the SWDA/FWA. This is effectively the highest position in the FWA. (In fact, it was at his suggestion that the Lamster Summit Meeting, which renamed the SWDA the FWA, was convened.) He leads the FWA's defense policy from Naval Headquarters on Lamster, the center and de facto “capitol” of the FWA. He gave the first “State of the Alliance” speech there.

Distinguishing Features
Religion

Career History
Before becoming an Admiral, Jackson commanded a C5A in a battle against a pirate C4 and C2 as a Captain in Gat's navy. For this victory, he was awarded the Medal of Valor, Gat's highest award for valor.
Admiral and High Admiral
He was head of the Gattian armed forces before the formation of the Alliance. After its formation he was appointed High Admiral (the highest rank in the Seven Worlds Defense Alliance.) He helped form and train the first combined fleets and was critical in efforts to obtain professionally built warships, such as the CVI Starbuck.
Chairmanship of the Seven Worlds Defense Alliance
He was elected Chairman of the Council of Defense Ministers in 3207.231. His election marked a new direction in Alliance politics with the first election of a non-Minister to the post. The Council had previously been regarded as a “talking shop” where little was done. Jackson's tough, no-nonsense reputation was a major factor in his election. His replacement as High Admiral was Hermione Xen. As Chairman, he has launched the anti-piracy operation Operation Wolfhound, which rapidly became an intervention culminating in a battle on 3207.386 at the Lon Chaney system. He dispatched a C5A to Kami to assist in repairing its orbital, later called Operation Friend in Need. He strengthened the Alliance navy with professionally built warships, especially in planetary defense, where he replaced all C5As with DDIs. On 3207.320 he suggested that the SWDA should sign several international treaties, which ultimately lead to the Lamster Summit Meeting on 3208.023.
Chairmanship of the Free Worlds Alliance
As the Chairman of the Free Worlds Alliance, he negotiated and signed a non-aggression pact with the MAFC and later one with the UoX. He launched Operation Panama, an anti-piracy sweep through neighboring systems. On 3209.034, he announced the formation of the Alliance's first military shipyard, the first to be built by a minor power and the first outside of Quadrant 1. He also masterminded the creation of the Interplanetary Interdiction Missile (All information about IPIMs is currently classified, save that they are an anti-piracy weapon.) Jackson has supported the Alliance's traditionally close ties with the UoX. He negotiated and signed a non-aggression treaty with the Martian Association's Quadrant 1 governor. He later signed a non-aggression and friendship treaty with the UoX. He dispatched military advisors to the independent worlds Charley and T20. On 3209.160, he visited Damper, his first visit off Lamster since becoming Chairman. He then visited the independent world of Long Dough, his first visit to an impendent world since becoming Chairman. He met with First Minister Ashanti of the Solar Republic on Lamster, in the first meeting between the FWA and the Head of State of a great power, where the FWA-SR non-aggression treaty was signed. He also proposed a Galactic Anti-Piracy Conference to be held on Lamster. His popularity and that of the Alliance has risen steadily throughout his Chairmanship. Currently the FWA has the highest popularity of any independent power. He has remained a committed Federalist, championing the cause of reforming the Free Worlds Alliance into a closer union. Jackson has also supported the expansion of the FWA and greater solidarity between independent worlds. Recently, Jackson has been pushing for the creation of a Federation between the FWA worlds. He was one of the authors of a draft constitution for the proposed “Federated Planets of the Outer Quadrants.” Jackson led the Free Worlds to victory in the FWA-Z155 War.
Other Information
He is good friends with Ali Elliam, the president of Gat. They met when Jackson was an officer in the Gatian military and Elliam was a Senator.
Hobbies
Jackson enjoys watching baseball. He is also a great bowler.
