 Edgar Tolliver was Cadet Corporal of Seafort's barracks during his time at the Naval Academy, and was extremely unpopular with the young cadet, who felt that Tolliver hazed him to an unnecessary degree.Tolliver on the other hand merely thought of the hazing as 'part of the drill'.He was later promoted to Lieutenant and assigned to "Portia" at some point after Seafort left the ship, until he was reassigned to replace Alexi Tamarov as Seafort's aide.
