			* There is ambiguity regarding his first name: while a caption in issue 3 calls him "Troykus," Baltar refers to him as "Bill" to which Adama acknowledges meaning, unless this is a nickname or callsign.

	This version certainly has two names but it's not certain what his first name actually is, while a caption in issue 3 calls him "Troykus," Baltar refers to him as "Bill" which Adama acknowledges meaning unless this is a nickname his first name could be William.		{{Characters (Comics)\|series=1980}}
