One of the crew's contacts on the moon-planet Persephone, Badger, portrayed by Mark Sheppard, appeared in the pilot episode of the series, "Serenity".
Badger was born on Muir, a small moon. He went on to run a criminal business enterprise.
Badger, an "honest businessman," refused to pay for cargo that he had commissioned the crew to retrieve after they were spotted by Alliance forces. At the time, Badger threatened to provide information to the Alliance about Malcolm Reynolds and his salvage operation. Although Badger cannot be trusted, he apparently is consistent enough that Reynolds is willing to do business with him. Badger is clearly a criminal, but views himself as a business man and "better than" Mal and other smugglers who don't have a base of operations.
Badger reappeared in the episode "Shindig," and hired the crew again to collect some cargo (in truth a herd of cattle) from a "fancy reception" where he was unwelcome. In the comic book series Serenity: Those Left Behind, Badger sets events in motion by providing Reynolds with his initial contract. Badger speaks with a cockney accent, identified and imitated by River Tam.
Badger's most recent appearance was in the comic book mini series, Serenity: Those Left Behind.
Behind the scenes
Joss Whedon originally wrote the character with the intention of playing the role himself.
