Character Profile: Zwilk

Zwilk is the third commander of the Boscone pursuit. He had tracked the Britannia before it jumped into hyperspace and had determined its likely course. Once he attains command, he chases Kim's group to Delgon and surrounds the Britannia. Only a clever plan by Worzo saves Kim and the others. They escape in torpedo pods at the exact moment the Britannia self-destructs, thus evading Zwilk's notice.

Thinking Kim dead, he proceeds to check on the thionite processing on Radelix, and he gets a nasty surprise when Kim tears through the plant with Buzzkirk. Helmuth is furious, and Zwilk is executed.
