Also known as Hoban Washburne
Played by Alan Tudyk
First Appearance: Serenity

Hoban “Wash” Washburne was raised on a planet that was so polluted he couldn’t even see the sky, one thing which probably led him to his career in life, a pilot. He was regarded as one of the best pilots, before he came aboard Serenity and worked for Mal.

Aboard Serenity Wash found his wife, Zoë. At first Zoë didn’t like Wash at all, there was something about him, but they did get married and enjoy a happy marriage, most of the time. Often Wash felt as though Zoë honoured Mal more than she did her own husband, but those issues were long sorted.

The next issue on the agenda for the happy, married couple was the issue of a child and bringing up one aboard Serenity. Zoë wants a child, however Wash is reluctant to. Wash could be seen as the one with the humour, out of all of the crew of Serenity. He’ll do whatever it takes, especially if his wife’s life is at risk.
