Full Name: Hoban “Wash”
Washburn DOB: May 18, 2486 Current Age: 33 Birthplace: Orion Position on Serenity: Pilot War Record: Much is unknown of where exactly Wash spent the years during the war. It’s plain to see that he was never a soldier like Mal or Zoe, and it’s unlikely he harbors Alliance sympathies. Most likely, he flew various missions, remaining neutral, or under both sides’ radars. |
| Bio: “Oh my God, what could it be? We’re all doomed! Who’s flying this thing?! Oh, right - that would be me. Ah, well, back to work.” - “Bushwhacked”. Known to everyone only as “Wash”, Hoban Washburn’s first love in life was the stars. Born on a planet where the atmosphere was so polluted, you couldn’t even see them, he enrolled in flight school just to see what he was missing out on. And he’s been out among them ever since. The rest of Wash’s past is a mystery - who his family is, what they do, where he was during the war, and how he found out about the job on Serenity. It’s implied that he’s traveled a good deal of the galaxy, as he has stories about many different planets, including one where they juggle geese. Wash probably felt right at home on that planet, as a man who’s highly amused by life in general. His sense of humor is the first thing you’d notice about him - if you could get past the fuzzy caterpillar on his upper lip. Eventually sense (or Zoe) prevailed, and he became the manic, clean-shaven pilot of Serenity. And made it his own personal mission to woo Zoe Alleyne. Said mission apparently worked, as they’ve been happily married for a few years. Upon first glance, one could mistake Wash for a simple guy - the comic relief; the henpecked husband whose warrior woman wears the pants in the relationship. Not so much, with Wash. When push comes to shove, and his safety, or that of the crew, is threatened, he can be just as strong and pragmatic as Zoe (and if you don’t believe me, watch “War Stories” again). And then there’s his trademark zen-like state while piloting Serenity. When everyone else is losing their heads, and screaming about crashing, Wash is completely calm and competent. And he makes a hell of a getaway driver. Portrayed By: Alan Tudyk |
