Bill Helmengaard

Warrant Officer Bill 'The Old Man' Helmengaard is a senior member of MACO on Constitution NX-04 in Boldly, We Go.... WO Helmengaard is a man of many monikers, including Santa Claus and Space Viking, because of his prominent, full beard, but the one he prefers is The Old Man.

Bill tends to walk and talk slowly, but think and act very quickly. He has a few hobbies, and they are surprising to those who do not know him well. He enjoys oragami, coloring books and needlepoint. He also owns a pair of bifocals, even though his eyes are technically within the acceptable range for starfleet vision.
