-'''Bill Grey''' is a fictional, supporting male character from the [[Star Fox (series)|Star Fox series]]. He is an anthropomorphic bulldog with brown fur (although was originally actual gray in color, which even reflected his name). He made his official debut appearance in ''[[Star Fox 64]]''. It is widely believed that Bill Grey is a reincarnation of [[Fay]] from the canceled game ''[[Star Fox 2]]''.

It is widely believed that Bill Grey is a "reincarnation" of [[Fay]] from the canceled game ''[[Star Fox 2]]''.
-Grey originally hails from planet [[Corneria]], but has settled on planet [[Katina]], as Grey is a member of the Cornerian Army, and he leads an outpost based there. Grey is considered an ace pilot in his own league. He first appeared as an ally in ''[[Star Fox 64]]'' when [[Star Fox (team)|Star Fox]] team assisted him in saving his Katinian outpost, and he later appears repaying Star Fox in either [[Solar]] or [[Sector X]] (depending on what route the player may take, although he would never appear in Sector X if the player never passed through Katina first). Grey's next appearance was in ''[[Star Fox Command]]'', and his role did not change much from his first appearance.
+Grey's name is likely a reference to the character General William Grey, from the 1996 film [[wikipedia:Independence Day (film)|''Independence Day'']]. This strongly evidenced by the parallels in the Katina mission ''Star Fox 64'' to the final battle scene from the film where a massive, circular alien ship was annihilated after the destruction of its core.
-Grey is an old friend of [[Fox McCloud]], as they both went to the same military academy together, albeit they both later took different paths in serving their planet, as Grey joined the governmental army whilst McCloud reformed [[James McCloud|his father]]'s team Star Fox, an independent mercenary group.
-Grey's name is a reference to the character General William Grey, from the 1996 film [[wikipedia:Independence Day (film)|''Independence Day'']]. This strongly evidenced by the fact that the mission on Katina in ''Star Fox 64'' is very similar to a major final scene from the film where an alien destroyer was annihilated after its core was attacked.
