Commander Williams was a 22nd century Starfleet officer who worked in a support capacity to Admiral Maxwell Forrest in overseeing the mission of the Enterprise NX-01.
Biography
Williams was part of the group of Starfleet officers who conferred with Vulcan Ambassador Soval regarding the disposition of Klaang, a Klingon courier who had crash-landed on Earth in 2151. Along with Jonathan Archer, he objected to the Vulcans' attempts to subvert the decision-making process from Starfleet. (ENT: "Broken Bow")
In 2152, Williams joined Admiral Forrest in defending Captain Archer's actions when Soval accused Archer of disobeying direct orders and failing to deliver Subcommander T'Pol to the Vulcan ship D'Kyr. When Soval suggested that T'Pol was not accompanying Archer of her own free will, Williams angrily insisted that Archer was not "in the habit of kidnapping Vulcans." (ENT: "Shockwave, Part II")
In 2153, Williams placed a bet with an archaeologist named Drake as to the existence of a crashed spacecraft in the Arctic Circle, promising to provide Drake with a bottle of scotch if such a debris field were to be found. Although Drake and his team ultimately found the field, they were assimilated by the survivors and turned into cybernetic hybrids controlled by a hive mind. After three days of no contact with the team, Commander Williams and Admiral Forrest traveled to the excavation site, only to find no evidence of any Humans. Forrest subsequently issued orders to Captain Archer to initiate a pursuit of the team's vessel, which had been taken over by the aliens. (ENT: "Regeneration")
Along with the Command Council, Williams was involved in Archer's debriefing after Enterprise's return from the Delphic Expanse in 2154. Upon the conclusion of the proceedings, Williams relayed the Council's orders that all details of the debriefing were to remain classified. (ENT: "Home")
