U.S. President William "Wild Bill" Brent Morrow
William Morrow was the President of the United States and a former Air Force pilot who served in Vietnam. During the First Invasion, Morrow was kidnapped by the Visitors and was held prisoner on the New York Mothership for most of the war. During his captivity, Morrow was put through repeated sessions in the conversion chamber. However, agents of the Fifth Column helped him escape before he was totally converted and he aided the New York "White Christmas" group when attacking the Visitor's ground headquarters (though no-one knew his real identity as he simply went by the name of "Bill"), and helped rebuild the government after the Visitors were driven from the Earth by the Red Dust. One year after Liberation Day, Morrow and the rest of the government went underground to prevent being captured by the Visitors and now directs what's left of the U.S. Military to aid the Resistance, which has become the world's last line of defense.
