== Story ==
De facto leader of [[Burton]] and a friend of [[Frederick]], [[Sam]] had tried for years to convince him to move his operations to [[Jadame]] and join her. When he arrived with the halflings, she welcomed them and set them to work building up the town and fighting off [[Zog]]'s raiders. When [[Kastore]] took control of Burton, Sam and [[Todd]] started a resistance, passing encrypted messages in the serial numbers of produced parts. After months of successfully avoiding notice, they put their plan in action, detonating charges simultaneously in all the factories and under all the bridges. With that distraction, they escaped taking a huge army with them to [[Henrietta]]'s aid in her quest to retake [[Eeofol]].

== Appearances ==

{{user commentary|
Sam is a good starting hero. With her specialty, the [[Mechanics and Engineers]] will move faster and deal more damage, thus becoming the primary damagers in early game. And the [[Tactics]] skill allows to get closer to the enemy.
