Biography[]
After Russell began writing on the walls of his cell about Deep Space Nine, Wykoff wanted Russell to accept the setting and the characters were not real. Russell almost stopped writing about Benjamin Sisko's encounter with the Orb of the Emissary, but continued after attacking Wykoff. (DS9 episode: "Shadows and Symbols")
From 14 December 1953 to 2 April 1954, Wykoff kept a diary of his experiences with Russell. Wykoff had been discriminatory against African-Americans, but changed his views after his experiences with Russell. On 4 April 1968, he rued the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. and thought that it made the world of Deep Space Nine seem farther away than ever.
