Bill Grey is a fictional character of the video game Star Fox 64 is the Commander of both the Husky Squadron and Bulldog Squadron and is under the orders of General Pepper.
Bill's name is likely a satire of the character General William M. Grey in the movie Independence Day. The entire Katina level is a spoof of the ending to this film.
Bill's place in the story edit
Bill is an old military academy buddy of Fox McCloud's and since Fox's leave in the academy (rumored because he graduated or because of James McCloud's death). He has risen and rank and was elected commander of two of Corneria's defensive military squadrons. The Star Fox team meets up with him shortly in Star Fox 64, and help engage in killing off the enemies trying to destroy the Cornerian base (located on Katina). If one manages to help him destroy the enemies, he will help Fox raise his shield gauge on Solar.
Bill's appearance edit
Bill is a gray husky who wears a green helmet with a yellow arrow pointing downward. It is most likely that because Miyu was excluded from Star Fox 2, her personality was handed over to Bill, and the voice, species, and gender were changed. Bill also has an arrow on his helmet which may have come from the idea of Miyu's arrow on her forehead. Though Nintendo excluded two characters from Star Fox 2, two more were put in their place, but they still carried out the idea of having one dog and one cat (Katt Monroe) added to the story.
Bill's starship edit
Bill rides a ship different from the Arwing. Bill's ship, The Greenie 2, is more curved at the end of the cockpit area and is white with green wings. The ship has a high armor and is indestructible, and while all his teammates can only shoot one laser, he has the twin laser upgrade, compliment of the Greenie 2, seeing how the Greenie 1 has a single laser.
