Naval Officer (Fitzwallace aide)

A professional, low‑profile naval officer who appears as an accompanying aide to Admiral Fitzwallace during a late‑night White House meeting. He moves with military reserve and performs logistical, ceremonial, and protective functions rather than speaking or taking independent action. His presence underscores the Admiral's institutional authority and the military's blunt realism in political briefings; he serves as a steady, neutral presence that frames Fitzwallace's interventions. The officer's narrative role is primarily functional: to embody military formality and to reinforce the gravity of the Admiral's brief appearances in the West Wing.
