Bill Grey is a squad leader in the Cornerian Air Force and long time friend of Fox McCloud.

Background

Not much of Bill Grey's background is known, except that he is a childhood friend of Fox McCloud, who inspired him to become a pilot. When he grew up, Bill became a member of the Cornerian Air Force. During Star Fox 64, Bill led a squadron to defend a base in Katina from an invasion force. Depending on the route, Star Fox possibly comes to aid Bill. In the process Fox and Bill were reunited after presumably a long time, but they had no time to catch up as they still had to fight off the invasion and the mother ship.

Bill's next appearance depends on the outcome of the battle; if the base is destroyed by the invasion, then the Star Fox team moves on to Sector X. Bill comes after them and shows them the way to a hidden warp. If the invasion was successfully repelled, the Star Fox team travels to Solar, and Bill appears there to give them supply rings.

During the Anglar Invasion over a decade later, Bill Grey was still protecting Katina from invasion. Eventually things got bad enough that he sent a distress signal to Star Fox. He ended up teaming up with Falco and Slippy in order to drive off the Anglars from the planet. Afterwards he related to them about the time he had spent fighting beside Krystal during her time in the Cornerian Air Force before the two were called to Titania.

Trivia

• He is named after the character General William Grey from the movie Independence Day, which the Katina level is a parody/homage to.
• His Katina squadron is divided into the Bulldog and Husky Units (both named after types of dogs).
• According to the Nintendo Power official player's guide for Star Fox 64, Fox and Bill were best friends in "the Academy".
