Background

Tolwyn is an Admiral and in charge of the Concordia fleet. He fought with Blair's dad in the Pilgrim Wars.


During the events of Wing Commander (1999) played by David Warner

Bellegarde and Tolwyn watch the message from Wilson and Bellegarde tells Tolwyn it would take the Confederation fleet longer to reach Sol than the Kilrathi fleet. Tolwyn then orders all ships to head towards Earth. Tolwyn asks if there are any ships near the Kilrathi and Bellegarde tells him the Tiger Claw is nearby but too far to communicate, however there is a merchant ship called the Diligent captained by Paladin with two replacement pilots, Blair and Maniac, that is close enough for communication. Tolwyn tells Blair that he needs him to deliver a coded message chip to Sansky. Later, Bellegarde tells Tolwyn that Earth doesn't think its defenses can withstand a Kilrathi attack. Bellegarde tells Tolwyn, Blair is broadcasting the Kilrathi jump coordinates and the Concordia Radar Man tells them a Rapier is flying towards Earth. The Concordia fleet then destroys the Kilrathi ships as they exit the jump point. Afterwards, Blair reports to Tolwyn who shakes his hand and tells him his parents would have been proud.
