When you say Starbuck, are you talking about the character from Battlestar Galactica?
The usual m.o. in a logline is to NOT name the protagonist.? What matters in a logline is a character's role in the plot -- what they do -- not what their name is. I certainly see no reason why this logline merits being an exception to that rule.
Instead of specifying names of characters, what the logline needs? to do is specify a plot.? It needs to answer the basic questions: What is the protagonist's objective goal?? Who/what opposes him in his struggle to attain that objective goal?? What are the stakes -- what does he stand to win if he attains his objective goal, lose if he fails?
