Samson Ware

Sergeant Major Samson Ware was a key member of the Fifth Operational Corps during the time that it was active.

History
In 1956, Samson served in the British Army with Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. During this time, he became good friends with Alistair. (PROSE: The Enfolded Time)

However, Samson left the army and became a stuntman instead.

In August 1969, Samson re-encountered Alistair and was convinced into becoming a key member of the newly formed Fifth Operational Corps. (PROSE: The Showstoppers)

On 24 December 1969, Samson was sent to Llanfairfach after Private Gwynfor Evans sighted a slug-like alien in his house. Working with Evans, Samson discovered that the creature was just one of many which were stealing mechanical pieces from christmas presents to build a dangerous combat machine. They also worked out that pine sap was poisonous to the creatures. Samson stuck a pine needle in one creature so that when it interacted with its fellow creatures it would poison all of them.

On 25 December 1969, with the creatures all dead, Samson celebrated Christmas with Evans's family. (PROSE: The Feast of Evans)

By 1990, Samson had died. (PROSE: The Enfolded Time)
