Watkins was a Starfury pilot assigned to Babylon 5's Delta Squadron, flying under the callsign "Delta 2." Watkins was known to exude an aura of calmness and serenity as if he knew the exact date when he would die and was not afraid to participate in the most dangerous of missions. In 2261, Watkins was with Commander Susan Ivanova's Starfury Squadron when they discovered the Thirdspace artifact in hyperspace, while returning to the station following a successful ambush of raider forces. When the artifact turned out to be a jumpgate to another universe inhabited by hostile species, Watkins and Delta Squadron tried to destroy it, but were killed by the Thirdspace Aliens.[1]
