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").
