+==== In AH.com Fiction ====
+In //**[[stories:AH.com The Series]]**//, GBW is the [[stories:AH.com Ship]]'s second pilot. His character is sometimes neglected by writers, but often pops up with his catchphrase when the AH.commers are trying something truly crazy. He also is a frequent pilot of the AH.com shuttles.
+Arguably GBW's initial lack of appearances eventually resulted in the birth of a deeper and more complex character than most in the AH.com Series, as he didn't have so much of a single schtick or catchphrase to be reduced to. GBW's deeper nature is glimpsed towards the end of Series 2 and throughout Series 3.
+In //**[[stories:Luaky Commer]]**//, GBW was initially used in the 'Neville' role (although he was in [[stories:House Knowitall]]) but, after a nasty incident with [[offtopic:Mynx]], he vowed revenge and took on the 'Malfoy' role after the death of [[offtopic:Romulus Augustulus]], or [[offtopic:Borat]].
+In //**[[stories:AH.com WARS]]**// GBW was an assistant to General [[offtopic:Ward]] and then fulfilled the General Madine role. Due to clever workarounds, a different GBW also appeared in the prequels in connection with the Kaminoans, which were re-set in his Yamania scenario.
-===== AH.com Series =====
+In [[offtopic:Chris]]' //**Multiverse War**// Book 6 (//The Spacers//) he gave his name to the Mayor of Ceres.
