John Williams


 * For other individuals with the same name, see Williams.

General Williams was an Earth military officer and military aide to the President of Earth in the year 2540. The President and Williams had been friends at one point, but their relationship had since cooled.

In 2520, he'd managed to cause a war between Earth and Draconia after he mistook a Draconian diplomatic ship for an attacking battlecruiser. Twenty years later, the Master attempted to start a war between Earth and the Draconians. Williams was in favor of swift retaliation; the Draconians, meanwhile, believed Williams was faking Draconian raids on cargo ships in order to force the Earth government into another war. Williams tried to push the President into stricter action, and was concerned that if she didn't then she would be deposed by her political opponents, including a group of military officers who wanted to install a dictatorship.

After discovering the truth about the incident twenty years ago, Williams was convinced to work with the Draconians and led a fact-finding mission to the Ogron homeworld. (DW: Frontier in Space)
