Resistance (V) - Gus

Gus

Gus is an influential police officer and member of the LAPD and an old friend of Ham Tyler and Chris Farber. One year after Liberation Day, the Visitors launched the Second Invasion, and Gus, along with the rest of the LAPD, were put under the control of Nathan Bates and ordered enforce order inside the new "Open City" of Los Angeles, which also entailed stamping out Resistance activity. Gus and several other officers who "don't play ball with the lizards" soon developed sympathies with the Resistance, and Gus turned to selling information to Tyler. When Caniff Printing was seized by Science Frontiers security personnel led by Mr. Chiang and Visitor troops led by Charles and its hostages decreed by Bates to be executed, Gus was called upon by Ham and Chris to see of he heard where the hostages were being held. Gus, however, had hear nothing from his contacts across the city, which kept watch over all the activity in the city's facilities, and as such couldn't help them. Before returning to his duties, Gus promised that he would tell them when he heard something and also gave a warning; "One thing's for sure; if those folks die at noon tomorrow you guys ain't gonna have many friends".
