'''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.


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 Cornith]] on [[Arkadia]], befell a fate that left most of its 116 souls decimated due to an outbreak of the [[Satyr virus]] that affected post-pubescent men in the colony. Affected by the virus himself, he became a "Satyr" that often visited 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 Cornith.

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.

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.
 
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.

The last colony he established in 2464 CE, New Cornith on Arkadia, befell a fate that left most of its 116 souls decimated due to an outbreak of the Satyr virus that affected post-pubescent men in the colony. Affected by the virus himself, he became a "Satyr" that often visited 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 Cornith.

The fact of Jason's transformation into the very Satyr that accosts them was kept from their son until William "Buck" Rogers's arrival in 2492 CE. 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. Rogers learns of the effects of the Satyr virus first hand and, with the help of Jason Samos himself, he is able (BR25: "The Satyr").
