Capt. Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds (Nathan Fillion)
During the war of independence, Mal enlisted on the independent side, fighting against the Alliance as a sergeant in the 57th Overlanders. He was part of the "browncoat" force on Hera holding Serenity Valley for over a month, before the Alliance finally overwhelmed them. A born leader, Mal kept his troops' morale up in the most hopeless of situations. Once a devout believer in God, the end of the war saw him losing his faith.
After the war, Mal purchased a battered old Firefly-class ship, which he named Serenity, and took jobs as they came. He remains a born leader, and is fanatically dedicated to his crew. He is not, however, a born strategist, and his plans often tend to go a bit wonky. Still, he inspires fierce loyalty in his people.
