Knobhead is Horsehead's deputy. Somehow he has managed to stay alive... Knobhead is a decent soldier in the DDS, cynical and cautious yet also possessing some brains but you know thats always dangerous in a soldier. He has been in the DDS for some years though he has not yet become a major talent. He remains in the background, doing a job well.
Knobhead knows a way of changing Horsehead's mind without being killed (as Horsehead usually regards anyone disagreeing with him as mutiny and administers immediate execution) which is key to his success and his survival. It may be he will be promoted to his own ship soon.
