Police Sergeant Sam Yeager
Sam Yeager was a police sergeant in New York City at the time of the First Invasion. When the Visitor's power over the city grew, Sam steadily recognised that the police no longer controlled law and order, and defected to the newly made "White Christmas" Resistance group. He fought alongside the group throughout the First Invasion, and when the Visitors were defeated, rejoined the police to restore order in the power vacuum that followed.
