[[Captain]] '''William S. Webb''' was a [[human]] officer of the [[UNSC Navy]] during the [[Human-Covenant War]], commanding the {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}} {{UNSCShip|Roman Blue}}.{{Ref/Reuse|itf257}}

William Webb served as the [[executive officer]] of {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}} {{UNSCShip|Roman Blue}}, under the command of [[Captain]] [[Terrence Hood]]. By [[2531]], ''Roman Blue'' was a part of the [[Third Fleet]], commanded by [[Admiral]] [[Preston Cole]]. During the [[Battle of Arcadia|Battle]] of [[Arcadia]] on [[2531#February|February 9, 2531]], ''Roman Blue'' was tasked with retrieving the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}'s [[log buoy]], but Hood instead had the ship engage a Covenant {{Pattern|Sinaris|heavy destroyer}}, the ''[[Radiant Perception]]''. The cruiser was quickly overwhelmed by the destroyer and forced to retreat, having failed to recover ''Spirit of Fire''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s buoy. As a result, ''Roman Blue'' had to receive a month of repairs before she could rejoin the [[fleet]]. By [[2531#March|March 10, 2531]], Cole had Webb witness the reprimand he gave Hood, relieving the captain of command and reassigning him to the [[frigate]] {{UNSCShip|Burlington}}. Cole had Webb remain on ''Roman Blue'' and promoted him to captain, giving him command of the cruiser.{{Ref/Reuse|itf257}}

At some point after [[2535]], ''Roman Blue'' had engaged in a conflict at [[Chi Rho]] and crashed on the planet's [[moon]] of [[Eiro]]. Whether Webb survived, or even participated in, the engagement is unknown. His logs during his captaincy of ''Roman Blue'' were recovered in [[2557#January|January 2557]] by salvager [[Rion Forge]], giving her greatly desired information on the status of ''Spirit of Fire''.{{Ref/Reuse|itf257}}
