Who is Captain Henry J. Gloval?

Origins Henry Joseph Gloval (or Henryk Jozef Glovalsky) was born to a Russian father and Lithuanian mother. He joined the Navy at a young age and worked his way up through the ranks, becoming a decorated hero to his nation during the Global Civil War. His brilliant strategies commanding surface vessels soon led him to becoming a well known man to be reckoned with, both within his own forces and in the forces of the enemy. Eventually he was given command of a nuclear powered submarine, where he rose to great prominence, recognized by his superiors as an effective, if unconventional captain. When the SDF-1 crashed to Earth in 1999, Gloval was the first to arrive on scene with his submarine. After cursory investigation, he risked court martial and even prison when he defied his superiors and allowed an international team access to the alien ship. Gloval was unrepentant of his actions, convinced that the SDF-1 was a discovery that should not be controlled by a single government, not even his. Luckily for him, the realization that there were aliens out there capable of creating such warships led to the end of the Global Civil War and the creation of a worldwide government.
