Oh yeah, Book is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. :)
The problem with Book is that his ident card gives him access to the Alliance medical facility on the cruiser. And this while its captain first wanted to impound Serenity and throw its crew in the brick. So, whatever Book is, he is obviously high ranking. I think we pretty much all agree on that.
Now, the riddle is, you only get such treatment if you're an ACTIVE military / parliamentary / whatever. Or retired with honors, somehow. So, how does that work? He does not seem to be particularly fond of the Alliance, but obviously did not alienate himself enough to get his ident card revoked, as he's apparently 'friends' enough with them to secure instant medical treatment for himself.
So, for the mystery, what is he? Is he perhaps one of the "Key members of Parliament" that have personally observed the 'subject' River? Why, he does not really come acrosss like the Parliamentary type, what with his knowledge of crime and fighting skills and all. An underground Operative, then, who sought passage aboard Serenity to figure out what River knows exactly? Unlikely. He would have just turned her in, and have the Alliance sort it all out later.
