In WALL-E, what is the name of the robot captain of the Axiom who helps defeat AUTO?

In WALL-E, the Axiom’s human commander who helps defeat AUTO is Captain B. McCrea.

Captain McCrea initially spends most of his time in the ship’s command area while AUTO, the Axiom’s autopilot system, handles the vessel’s operations. After learning about Earth and the plant found by EVE, McCrea decides that the humans must return home.

AUTO follows the secret directive A-113, which orders the Axiom to remain in space because Earth was judged uninhabitable. When McCrea attempts to take manual control, AUTO resists and confines him. McCrea eventually overcomes the autopilot and restores the ship’s course.

The captain is a human rather than a robot, so he is distinct from WALL-E, EVE, and AUTO. His surname is McCrea, matching the surname of the film’s director, Andrew Stanton’s longtime Pixar colleague and production designer Ralph Eggleston? The character is officially credited as Captain B. McCrea; the film never expands the initial B.
