Background

Obutu is a navigation officer on the T.C.S. Tiger Claw.


During the events of Wing Commander (1999) played by Hugh Quarshie

Sansky has Obutu prepare the disc that Blair brought, for decryption. Later, the Tiger Claw arrives at the Ulysses Corridor. Sansky has Obutu put them in stealth mode and Radar Man Falk tells him the scanners are picking up an asteroid field. When the Tiger Claw is attacked by a Kilrathi fleet, Obutu tells Sansky that their shields are down 40 percent. After the attack, Gerald has the Helmsman land the Tiger Claw in a crater and Obutu tells Gerald a decoy has been sent out to trick the Kilrathi fleet. The majority of the fleet follow the decoy, but a destroyer stays on course and starts bombarding the craters. After the Kilrathi jump coordinates are recovered, Gerald has Obutu prepare a drone with the Kirlathi jump coordinates they got off of the Pegasus Navcom, but Obutu tells him the drones are offline. After Deveraux saves the Tiger Claw from a skipper missile, Paladin tells Obutu that he is going to look for Deveraux.
