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.

“Consider the islands bearing the names of all the saints, bristling with forts like chestnut-burs, or Echinidæ, yet the police will not let a couple of Irishmen have a private sparring- match on one of them, as it is a government monopoly; all the great seaports are in a boxing attitude, and you must sail prudently between two tiers of stony knuckles before you come to feel the warmth of their breasts.”
