Lieutenant Pavlov Dill was the second-in-command of the 701st Mobile Infantry Division of the United Citizen Federation military in Starship Troopers 2. He was also a psychic intelligence officer. He was portrayed by Lawrence Monoson.
History[]
Pavlov Dill was appointed as senior officer when Bravo Six was forced to retreat from the Battle of Zulu Alpha. However, his arrogance and incompetence led to a series of poor command decisions and needless confrontations with his troops which in turn led to several members of the unit getting killed prior to their arrival at Hotel Delta 1-8-5. When General Jack Shepherd later arrived at the outpost, he dismissed Dill's obvious attempts at shifting the blame to Sergeant Dede Rake.
When Shepherd arrived at the outpost, he was accompanied by three soldiers from another unit: Charlie Soda, Ari Peck and Joe Griff. All three were infected with Control Bugs, but the members of Bravo Six were unaware of this and trusted them, all except for Dill and Lei Sahara who both possessed psychic abilities.
Death[]
Fearing that the newcomers represented a potential threat, Dill decided to make General Shepherd aware of his concerns. He went to meet with the General in his quarters, but found the infected soldiers had already gotten to him. As Dill threatened the infected soldiers with charges of treason, the infected Billie Otter appeared behind Dill and slit his throat with a knife.
