AKA "Freedom Phantom" - Co-leader of the Manhattan Resistance. Brooklyn born and raised, Chris was a plumber before the Soviet invasion of the USA. He did not believe his brother's anti-communist rantings, nor did he take any interest in the signs that a long-planned Soviet invasion was imminent. Chris escapes the forces of the Red Army and General Tatarin, going underground on the first day of the occupation. His many brave acts throughout the beginnings of the occupation make him a hero to oppressed Americans and a villain to the Soviets, and Chris is dubbed "The Freedom Phantom" soon after.
Tatarin does not believe in sending soldiers into battle to kill and maim. He believes in leading the soldiers in himself so that he can kill and maim along with them. Born in 1958 in the Asian Soviet republic of Uzbekistan, General Tatarin is a field warrior of the highest echelon. He was brought up in the Soviet army by a family of soldiers, and still lives by the sword today. His father and grandfather both died war heroes in battle, and he carried on the family tradition by graduating at the top of his class from military school. Tatarin was stationed in Guatemala in 1976 as a military advisor. He became the youngest Soviet General ever appointed in 1995, after establishing military bases in Mexico during his "recovery efforts" following a massive earthquake. Tatarin is extremely popular among the soldiers in his command.
Graceful beauty, clear eyes and a ready smile make Isabella, 29, a real threat to the men of New York. Strong political views, a cunning intellect, and a knack for public speaking make her a threat to the Soviets. Born in the U.S., Isabella traveled extensively while studying ethnography and completing her thesis on Inuit people. Her studies took her through Canada and Greenland, all the way to the arctic Soviet Union. Her experiences there turned her into a political activist protesting Soviet aggression worldwide. Isabella is a fast learner and a survivor quick to adapt to new conditions. Together with Christopher she leads the Manhatten resistance.
At 60 years of age, Mr. Jones is still nimble enough to train newcomers in the art of urban guerilla fighting. Years of military life have given him an exceptional understanding of strategy, along with a cynical edge that keeps even friendly folks at a distance. He has never developed as a great soldier in the field, but his networking and planning skills make him a real asset to resistance.
"Talk is cheap," says Phil Bagzton, "that's why I do it constantly, dude." Phil, to hear him tell it, has been kicking Soviet ass for ten years, even though the invasion just began. He's the man of many, many, words whose fighting efforts, despite their ineptitude, are appreciated by the resistance. Phil began boxing at the age of 13, not as a form of athletics but in self-defense from his abusive father. His fists never served him well, and he eventually learned to talk his way out of most situations. The rest of Phil's family fled to California at the start of the invasion.
How do you win over millions of people in just minutes? A pretty face and an innocent smile broadcast over television. Tatiana has the looks and the voice, but her innocent smile is a fake. The "news" she delivers is imported directly from the Kremlin. Tatiana was born in Krakow, where she studied journalism before transferring to the U.S. to finish her degree. She developed fluency in American English during her time in the U.S., but in her heart she remains a loyal member of the communist party.
The streets of New York are not kind to orphans, especially not skinny 15-year-olds in the midst of a full-scale invasion. But The Kid lets it roll off his back. He's never really had it much easier. The Kid knows every corner of the city and his graffiti can be found on almost every block. He's no gang member, but he's had issues with the local authorities and he knows his way around the neighborhood thugs. The Kid lived at a boarding school until recently, but it was closed down because the schoolmaster refused to teach Soviet principles. The Kid's street wisdom is a valuable asset to the resistance. He often warns Christopher of dangers hiding further up the block.
The youngest of the Stone brothers, Tony, is a real handful. At 30, he still hasn't decided what he wants to do, but whatever it is he wants to do it first. He builds custom cars with the local car club, the Brooklyn Rats, in his ample spare time. He often helps his brother Christopher with plumbing jobs.
