Appearances

Notes

• In the show version of Bull he has had his role changed significantly from the books with himself and Drummer performing roles the other did in the source material. The character Bull appears only in the novel Abaddon's Gate corresponding to season 3 of the show and is the character crippled during the sudden deceleration of the Behemoth by the Ring Station. Bull would go on to heroically die during that series of events thus is already deceased by the point in the timeline where he first appeared in the show. It may be surmised that the repurposed character will be taking on a larger function in the show.
