Background
Originally, Nicholas' last name was Pacitti, in honor of Joanna Pacitti, an actress-singer-songwriter who was fired from the 20th anniversary revival of the classic Broadway musical Annie.
However, once the facts behind Pacitti's dismissal from the 8th season of the US reality television series American Idol came to light, Star Trek: Omega Force author William Raymer severed all ties to Pacitti and renamed the character in honor of Mario Batali, a noted Italian chef and former cast member on the TV series Iron Chef America.
After the character's renaming, aspects of Honorary Iron Chef Batali's background, such as birthdate (September 9) and birthplace (Yakima, Washington) were integrated into Lieutenant J.G. Batali's background.
