I haven't played to completion any of the Wing Commander games yet, but I gather that Blair got demoted by Towlyn at the start of WC2 to take the blame for the lost of a ship but was not Blair's fault. Towlyn even tells Blair to resign. Then Blair languishs in the service for about 10 years before the events of WC2 takes place. Was there any hard feelings harbored by Blair and Towlyn towards each other in the game and was it ever resolved? Was this episode even hinted at in WC3, WC4 and Prophecy, or in the books?
