Colonel Kent Fletcher
Kent Fletcher was a high-ranking colonel in the National Guard and leads a complement of 300 men. Though he helped fight the Visitors, he sought to gain more power by taking advantage of the growing power vacuum following the Visitors fleeing the Earth. He led a coup against the local governor with help from Lieutenant Dennis W. Simon and planned to use it to eventually take control of the entire U.S. government, but was stopped by the Resistance and taken into custody by the Military Police.

We convent nought else but woes.”
