William "Bill" Grey (ビル・グレイ, Biru Gurei) is a Bulldog ace pilot in the Cornerian Army that serves out of Katina. He wears a Green Ace Army Commander Helmet on his head because he's a Commander of his own team. In his childhood, he was good friends with Fox McCloud, who convinced him to join the Cornerian Flight Academy with him some years ago. When Fox left the Academy to avenge his father's death at the hands of Andross, Bill went on to become an ace pilot and was given command of both the Husky and Bulldog squadrons. He helped to defend Katina during the Lylat Wars and the Anglar Blitz.

If the mission is accomplished on Katina, Bill will help with opening the warp gates in Sector X or help with fighting monsters on Solar, depending on the route Fox takes. A similar role is played by Katt Monroe.

Trivia

  • The name of the character is a reference to General William Grey, from the 1996 blockbuster movie Independence Day.
  • Bill's fur color changed between his two appearances in Star Fox 64 and Star Fox Command. In the former, he actually was a shade of grey, befitting his name. In the latter, he was a light brown.
  • He is playable in Star Fox Command. Also, for unknown reasons, his voice was changed from a surfer accent to a southern accent.
  • Bill is most likely an Old English Bulldog or an American Bulldog due to his longer muzzle and his slimmer body than an English or French Bulldog.
