==Characteristics==
{{quote|Alexander the Great, Hannibal, Patton. To many in the [[StarCitizen:UEE]], Admiral Ernst Bishop has built a career evocative of these great military tacticians. A lifelong soldier, Bishop quickly distinguished himself as leader and strategist by seeing angles that others don't and taking risks that others won't. Strategy is a shifting puzzle to him. For better or worse, he is capable of disconnecting his empathy to the point where a battleship is simply an asset (with strengths and weaknesses) in the game, not a ship of five hundred souls. This is how he keeps winning.

If he had any interest in playing politics, he would have easily been promoted to [[StarCitizen:UEE High Command|High Command]] by now, but he's exactly where he wants to be and exactly where the Empire needs him; patrolling the dangerous front lines of [[StarCitizen:Vanduul]] space, hunting for a foe that's constantly probing for a weakness, any weakness, to cross that border and fight.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Cite RSI|text=Answer the Call|url=squadron42}}</ref>}}

==Family==
Bishop has at least one daughter, Captain [[StarCitizen:Rachel MacLaren]].<ref>[https://youtu.be/HUhRXJOnJes Squadron 42: Behind the Scenes - Gillian Anderson] from 2016-01-21. Accessed 2016-11-07: [[StarCitizen:Chris Roberts|Roberts]] refers about that on Minute 01:40: ''[Gilian Anderson, who played Rachel MacLaren] will be believable as Gary's [Adm Bishops] daughter (...)''
