Resistance (V) - The Caniffs

The Caniffs

George Caniff was the owner of "Caniff Printing", a widely popular and respected newspaper shop in Los Angeles and lived with his wife and son Nicky in the shop and was friends to many, including Robin Maxwell. During the Second Invasion one year after Liberation Day, he and his family were Resistance members and operated an underground newspaper to all those who sought the truth, with John Langley as his best journalist. When Science Frontiers security personnel stormed the building, his family was able to escape, but he, Robin and 5 others were taken hostage. George and the others were saved from execution by a timely rescue by fellow Resistance members Mike Donovan, Ham Tyler, Kyle Bates, Julie Parrish, Elizabeth Maxwell and Visitor Willie. After being reunited with his family, George was then able to get out of the city.

Nicholas Caniff, or better known as "Nicky", is the son of George Caniff and his wife and lived with his family at their shop in Los Angeles, named "Caniff Printing". One year after Liberation Day, the Visitors returned and launched the Second Invasion. Nicky and his family joined the Resistance and served to operate an underground newspaper for the organization from within the new "Open City". Nicky quickly became an avid reader of underground news produced by his father and other underground journalists such as John Langley, but never saw combat due to him only being a child. When Science Frontiers security personnel began storming the building, he was grabbed by his mother, who quickly escaped out the back and to safety while George was left behind and surrendered to prevent bloodshed. His mother left him at a safe house, and left to ask Mike Donovan's Resistance group to help liberate the hostages in the shop, which also included Robin Maxwell. The attack to free the hostages was successful, and Nicky, reunited with his father, escaped with his family and successfully made it out of the city.
