"Honestly, I feel more outnumbered at home than I do on maneveurs with you girls."

— Paul Williams, referring to his four daughters.

Serviceman Third Class Paul Williams was a serviceman in the Systems Alliance Navy. Born on Earth to parents Arthur and Madeline Williams, Paul was one of the first adults to experience the birth of humanity's interstellar age, which fueled his fascination with becoming an explorer: however, these hopes were squashed when the First Contact War broke out, and colonization efforts were pulled back in favor of military build-up. After the war, and the public humiliation of his grandfather for surrendering his garrison, Paul became angered with the Alliance leadership and endeavoured to redeem his family, quickly signing up to the Alliance Navy. Unfortunately, the blacklist on his family ensured he never rose above the rank of Serviceman Third Class, and he was deliberately assigned to stationary, planet-side postings or space station assignments: he never served aboard a starship. Despite this, Paul persisted in carving out a career for himself, eventually being assigned to the colony of Sirona, near the then-outer edge of Alliance territory. Here he met his future wife, of whom he'd have four daughters with. He insisted all of them get martial arts training, although only Ashley, his eldest, would follow in his footsteps and join the marines.

Paul was proud when his daughter was promoted to Gunnery Chief, a rank equivalent to one higher than his own rank in the navy. However, he did not live long enough to see the blacklist lifted from his family thanks to Ashley's sacrifice on Virmire in 2183 CE, having passed away in 2179 CE.
