'''Roxanne Trent''' is a weapons dealer with her partner, Commander [[Corliss]]. She is known for her vengeful demeanor and excessive vanity, and is tended to by her mute Terran slave, [[Alicia]].
Major '''Jason Samos''' is an [[Earth]] pioneer responsible for establishing multiple colonies in the mid-25th century, as part of his [[Back to the Land]] movement.


In [[2488]] CE, Col. [[Wilma Deering]] attempts to intercept their Trent and Corliss' ship, as they were illegally supplying weapons to rebellious colonies. Unable to elicit their surrender, Deering fires her [[pulsar cannon]]s during the interception, causing their contraband ordnance to become both unstable and combustible.  
The last colony he established in [[2464]] CE, [[New Corinth]] on [[Arkadis]], befell a fate that left most of its 116 souls decimated following an outbreak of the [[Satyr virus]], which affected the post-pubescent men in the colony. Affected by the virus himself, he became the "Satyr" '''Pangor''', often visiting both his wife ([[Cyra Samos]]) and only son ([[Delph Samos]]), drinking of the vast stores of [[moon wine]] they produced in a small vineyard near the remains of New Corinth. They toil away on the farm, keeping a low profile and quiet, so as not to attract Pangor.


When Corliss attempts to seal the cargo bay, he falls in and is turned into a "living torch" by the chemicals. Trent pulls him from the bay, at the cost of her arm, which was replaced with a poor mechanical prosthesis.
Unbeknownst to the surviving Samos family, Jason protected his family by fighting off other Saytr-ized colonists, and patrols the surrounding farmlands on [[farelon]] back with an [[electric whip]]. In order to wile away the time, he plays music from a flute made of [[flute grass]] that could be heard from some considerable distance. Further, the fact of Jason Samos' transformation into Pangor is kept from their son until {{buck}}'s arrival in [[2492]] CE, with Delph keeping his father's log books as that is all he had to remember his father by.  


From their base in the [[Necrosis asteroid belt]], on an asteroid referred to as [[Necrosis IV]], they plot their vengeance against Deering and the Earth itself, biding their time until [[2491]] CE. Trent and Corliss learn of a transport of 20th century nerve gas canisters recovered from a stockpile near [[Washington, D.C.]], with Corliss and his soldiers arranging the theft of the transport ''[[Lisa's Dream]]'' from a [[New Chicago]] [[Earth Defense Directorate]] hangar.  
Upon meeting up on Samos' farm, Rogers is observed and stalked by Samos. In a nighttime encounter, Samos lures Rogers and [[Twiki]] from their [[Searcher shuttle|shuttle]], and Twiki is damaged in the fight. Later, Rogers attempts to fight off the unruly horned man, later being bitten during a fight near a watering hole—with Rogers believing that he had drowned the threatening creature. Following Rogers' battle with "Pangor," he learns not only of Jason Samos' survival as "Pangor," but also the effects of the Satyr virus first hand. As Rogers fights the transmogrifying effects of the virus, he is still able to save Samos' family from the other Satyr-ized colonists, planning a trap for them in the winery hut.  


Trent and Corliss revel in their good fortune, with her slave dismayed at their plan. Trent continually taunts and accosts Alicia, uncovering a [[memory globe]] containing a visual record of Alicia's parents. Shattering it with her metal, mechanical prosthesis, she persists in tearing down her slave's resolve and hopes.
As "Pangor," Samos leads Satyr-ized colonists to the winery hut, which Rogers had rigged with explosives—and hits the detonator, killing himself and two other Satyrs, thus giving his life for the family he started in the failed colony {{BR25|The Satyr}}.


Later, when {{buck}} and Deering are captured during their incursion of the Necrosis asteroid belt, Trent revels in her torture of Deering before she notices that Rogers and Alicia are communicating through [[hand-talking]]. She sends her slave away, and she begins her torture of Rogers, but before she could inflict any damage the [[Fighting 69th]] approach and their prisoners are sent to their cell.

With Alicia's help, Rogers and Deering escape with Trent's emboldened slave in tow, escaping in their captured [[belly bomber]] just before [[Noah Cooper]]'s bomber makes its successful bombing run of the criminal base {{BR25|Return of the Fighting 69th}}.
 
Despite the apparent destruction of their base, Roxanne and Corliss were captured alive, and received medical care from the [[Earth Defense Directorate]] {{BR25|A Blast for Buck}}.

Major Jason Samos is an Earth pioneer responsible for establishing multiple colonies in the mid-25th century, as part of his Back to the Land movement.

The last colony he established in 2464 CE, New Corinth on Arkadis, befell a fate that left most of its 116 souls decimated following an outbreak of the Satyr virus, which affected the post-pubescent men in the colony. Affected by the virus himself, he became the "Satyr" Pangor, often visiting both his wife (Cyra Samos) and only son (Delph Samos), drinking of the vast stores of moon wine they produced in a small vineyard near the remains of New Corinth. They toil away on the farm, keeping a low profile and quiet, so as not to attract Pangor.

Unbeknownst to the surviving Samos family, Jason protected his family by fighting off other Saytr-ized colonists, and patrols the surrounding farmlands on farelon back with an electric whip. In order to wile away the time, he plays music from a flute made of flute grass that could be heard from some considerable distance. Further, the fact of Jason Samos' transformation into Pangor is kept from their son until William "Buck" Rogers's arrival in 2492 CE, with Delph keeping his father's log books as that is all he had to remember his father by.

Upon meeting up on Samos' farm, Rogers is observed and stalked by Samos. In a nighttime encounter, Samos lures Rogers and Twiki from their shuttle, and Twiki is damaged in the fight. Later, Rogers attempts to fight off the unruly horned man, later being bitten during a fight near a watering hole—with Rogers believing that he had drowned the threatening creature. Following Rogers' battle with "Pangor," he learns not only of Jason Samos' survival as "Pangor," but also the effects of the Satyr virus first hand. As Rogers fights the transmogrifying effects of the virus, he is still able to save Samos' family from the other Satyr-ized colonists, planning a trap for them in the winery hut.

As "Pangor," Samos leads Satyr-ized colonists to the winery hut, which Rogers had rigged with explosives—and hits the detonator, killing himself and two other Satyrs, thus giving his life for the family he started in the failed colony (BR25: "The Satyr").
