Knowing Joss the way we do, do you really think he could resist the temptation to name him Richard Wilcox?

Wait a minute... flashback in progress... what was the Mayor's name on Buffy...? Wasn't it Richard Wilkens???

I agree he was someone dealing with criminals. I am thinking he had something to do with an "Andersonville" like set up for the Alliance. Him being a prison warden or some such would fit in line with everything we have about his past, especially: "I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?" as well as his first rate knowledge of "crime". Also, being the head of the big POW camp for the side that wins the war would make you big news...and get you a gold star on your Ident card.

I'm not sure about the prison warden theory... I think he has to have been more active in the field, and in a non-war capacity to know about people like Niska and the carrion shop. Also, there wouldn't be any POWs saying they were innocent, would there? I wouldn't think that would be open to debate.

Perhaps during the war he was in charge of discovering Indepentant sympathizers, gestapo style. Maybe he was the Alliance's very own John Ashcroft

Where did we learn that Book slept with Inara? Or is that just a theory? And what is Book's real identity? I am new to this, ok nevermind what I just said, I read the posts, excuse my interruptions

This is pure speculation and inductive reasoning.

Thing is, they name an alliance officer who's tactical plan resulted in the crushing defeat of the alliance there - and I honestly suspect Book is that officer.

So, maybe that's why he picks a ship called "Serenity" to travel on. Perhaps 'Serenity Valley' is where Mal lost his faith, but 'Book' found it?

Hmmm...

I'm pretty sure Mal named the ship after he bought it.

I think that Book is most likely a member of a faction within the Alliance. This faction most likely wishes to protect River and stop the work of the HoB agents. I theorized this from something he said in an episode (can't remember which one!) about a government being a body of people usually ungoverned.

That's my two cents!
