[edit] General Information
Roger Wilco was originally born in test-tube 696, his parents had dispensed with all the inconvenient aspects of childbirth.[1] "To seek out new life and new civilizations... To boldly go where no man has gone before.."
A wonderful sentiment, isn't it? Ships full of people searching the cosmos, expanding their knowledge into yet uncharted regions of many galaxies, and looking for new lifeforms? Boldly exploring what can be, but has not yet been?
But what happens when the toilet backs up?
The answer is found in Roger Wilco, strange hero from Xenon, who's come to save our toilets from total destruction! If his boss is watching, at least.
Roger is a Janitor 2nd Class, and an exemplary one at that. When not fixing toilets or scrubbing decks, Roger spends his time accidentally saving the universe. As it turns out, Roger has been in a number of adventures, although few of his own choosing.
Early in his career Roger saved the galaxy from the evil Sariens, and the Doctor of Evil, Sludge Vohaul. He barely escaped their exploding ship and was awarded the Golden Mop. However, his fame soon died down and he resumed work upon a space station. Soon he was captured by Vohaul and forced to escape, eventually killing Vohaul... Or so Roger thought.
After another adventure in which Roger saved the world from the Pirates of Pestulon, Roger was forced into the future to save the world from Vohaul's disembodied head, which had taken over his homeworld.
In all, Roger is a scrappy character and a good guy to know... If only for his advice on getting out Gargleblaster stains.
Roger gave an interview to Space Piston Magazine, and was also featured in an article in the Galactic Inquirer.
Roger Wilco was mysteriously missing in the Space Quest XII era, it is believed in that era he may be dead.
