Collaborators (V TV series)

Known or suspected humans that have collaborated with the Visitor Invasion Forces are detailed below

Daniel Bernstein

Daniel Bernstein, played by David Packer, is the son of Stanley and Lynn Bernstein and grandson of Abraham. Daniel never did well in society, with him failing in school, never having friends and not fitting in with a crowd. Daniel barely maintained a relationship with Robin Maxwell. When the Visitors came, he quickly found his calling by joining the Visitors Friends youth corp. This new allegiance causes a drastic shift in his personality, turning him from the sweet, innocent boy he was into a cold and dangerous soldier-in-training which even led his parents to become suspicious of him. This turned out to be confirmed when, spurned by Robin ignoring him for his superior officer Brian despite his lustful advances, he reported the Maxwell family's locations to his superiors (though is GeneRally upset that his family was taken as well). Though it seemed he would turn himself around, Brian promoting him further entices him to stay with the Visitors. Over the next several months, Daniel's responsibilities with the corps grew as he proved himself and confirms his loyalty by helping to capture Julie Parrish after exposing John on national television. Daniel's behaviour deteriorated further as he seemed to have no qualms about abusing his power, and humiliating people in public; however, in the end this was to cause his downfall - when Daniel needlessly killed his old neighbour, Ruby Engels, this spurns Ham Tyler and Caleb Taylor to frame him for Brian's capture. After knocking Daniel out, Caleb makes an anonymous call to Steven, the leader of Visitor secutity on earth. Steven assumes Daniel is guilty as he suspects Daniel may have done it to further his career even more; also there had been continual hostility between Steven and Daniel prior to Brian's capture. Daniel tried to absolve himself by telling Steven that his "nurse" girlfriend Maggie Blodgett had set him up; but, having already checked with the hosptial discovered that there was no nurse registered at the hospital by that name, Steven refutes this explanation and sends Daniel away to become food for the Visitors.

Doctor Corley Walker

Doctor Corley Walker was a widely-respected medical scientist who worked at the Los Angeles Medical Center at the time of the First Invasion. When the Visitors came, he strongly believed the Visitor's had evil intentions and that collaborators were cowardly and despicable. When Supreme Commander John made preparations for unveiling a Cancer Cure, news reporter Kristine Walsh openly expressed her admiration for his work in his field, however Walker was openly hostile with her, saying at best she was a puppet for the Visitors, and at worst a collaborator and yelled she will end up like the [...] leaders in the Nuremburg trials. Unfortunately, this was noticed by the Visitors and was captured in his office by Brian and two of his soldiers. He was then converted by Diana to respect the Visitors and Kristine Walsh and given false memories to confirm it. His sudden change of heart led to Kristine changing her opinion about the Visitors, and then to her death.

Eleanor Dupres

Eleanor Dupres was the mother of Mike Donovan, grandmother of Sean, and wife of the wealthy and influential Arthur Dupres, who she kept manipulating to suit her expensive needs. She was incredibly shallow, superficial, selfish, violent when pressured and in deep denial on views she couldn't accept. When the Visitors came to Earth, she saw it as an opportunity to maintain and increase her social standing and befriended Visitor Security Leader Steven; earning her many wealthy "tokens" of friendship and increasingly jeopardizing her marriage to Arthur. She refused to help the Resistance, even at Mike's insistence, and remained a firm believer in the Visitors claims for peace. She was responsible for Sancho Gomez's imprisonment when she heard Katie Maxwell's cries in Gomez's truck. One year later, she aided the Visitors by formulating plans with Steven to help derail Resistance operations. One such plan involved using Sean to spy on the Resistance, and at the same time, get Mike captured. Utterly disgusted with her behavior, Arthur walked out on her. Eleanor warned him once he left, there would be no coming back, to which he replied, "Thank God". He left their home, never to be seen again. When the Red Dust was deployed and Resistance troopers began attacking the Visitor Legation Embassy where she lived, Eleanor went out to try to convince the soldiers she was really one of them and she was being held prisoner. Feeling betrayed, Steven shot her in the back and killed her.

Garrison

Garrison was the leader of a biker gang (numbering 18 in total) that lived in Rawlinsville, a town rich in cobalt ore, an element needed to power Visitor laser rifles. During the Second Invasion, the Visitors planned a major assault on the Resistance. However, it stalled due to their rifles being short on cobalt supplies. Diana, needing the cobalt, struck a deal with Garrison; one ton of gold for one ton of cobalt. After furnishing Garrison and his gang with Visitor weaponry (and after the Visitors had driven all but 30 of the towns families out of the town) Garrison and his gang Overwhelmed the town's meager defenders and took control, fencing the town in razor wire and laser wire and having abandoned military equipment to reinforce his troops. He worked the people to death in the mines until one, Glenda, escaped and alerted the Resistance to his operations. The Resistance team came to Rawlinsville and overpowered Garrison's gang, and when defenseless, Glenda shot him. Glenda then succeeded him as leader of the gang.

Glenda

Glenda was a young black woman who lived in Rawlinsville, a small western town rich in cobalt, and was subsequently imprisoned by Garrison when he became a Collaborator for the returning Visitors during the Second Invasion. Initially a prisoner, Glenda eventually escaped Rawlinsville and recruited the Resistance in helping liberate the town. While this was done, she struck up a romantic relationship with Elias Taylor. After the town was freed, Glenda killed Garrison and took over his gang of bikers, and then imprisoned the Resistance team. Glenda intended to turn over the cobalt being mined in the town and her prisoners in exchange for a higher amount of gold. However, the team broke free, and when Glenda tried to escape in a jeep, Elias, who was betrayed, shot her in the back with his rifle and killed her.

Governor Nathan Bates

Nathan Bates, played by Lane Smith, is the power-hungry head of Science Frontiers. He is cautious by nature, but has a high intelligence and shrewd cunning that he has used to make him one of the most powerful industrialists in the country. He is the father of Kyle Bates. His power bloomed even further when Science Frontiers was contracted by Resistance leader Julie Parrish to mass produce the "Red Dust", the weapon used to drive the Visitors from the Earth. His power increases to the point his company is contracted to study the captured Visitor Mothership, with Julie Parrish, now head of Science Frontiers science division and Nathan's love interest, leading the team. Science Frontiers, at Nathan's urging, also conducted further experimentation on the Red Dust, and discovered tha horrifying secret that it doesn't work in 50% of the world due to different climate zones. Nathan hired Ham Tyler for £500,000 to capture Diana, who he hoped to interrogate for technical information on the Mothership, a cure for cancer and other advancements. However, Diana escaped and launched the Second Invasion after calling back the Visitor Fleet. When Diana and her troops stormed the main Science Frontiers facilitiy, Bates is able to bluff them into not [...] him by threatening to unleash a massive dose of Red Dust. After Nathan successfully brokered a peace treaty with the Visitor armies that Los Angeles and all property of Science Frontiers would be protected in exchange Science Frontiers security personnel would keep order. This made Nathan one of the most powerful men in the world, as the head of a provisional government of Los Angeles with the title of Governor, which was also arranged to be a neutral zone called "The Open City", where neither human nor Visitor could bear arms. Following the collapse of all military and police forces, his army grew and took larger control of civilian life. Nathan adapted his nature to become ruthless and cold-blooded when necessary, and became increasingly dangerous when the Resistance took shape again and launched [...] activities against the Visitors from inside his protective borders, becoming mortal enemies with Mike Donovan and falling out with Kyle, who had joined the Resistance. Time and again, Nathan schemed with the Visitors, primarily Diana, to bring down the Resistance, and was contantly threatened by Diana to keep order or risk the end of the Open City Agreement and subsequent invasion. Nathan became more determined to destroy the Resistance, as he saw them as a threat to his power and the safety of Los Angeles's population, and agreed with Charles, a special envoy from the Leader, to make a daring trap to brainwash Ham Tyler into assassinating Mike Donovan during a live prisoner exchange, hoping to use this as a way to discredit the Resistance. However, Bates was accidentally shot instead and, despite being rushed to the medical facilities at Science Frontiers, goes into a coma. While in his weakened state, Mr. Chiang used a computer simulation of Bates to create the illusion that his master was still awake and in power, all the while Chiang was being tempted by Diana and Charles to take control of Science Frontiers himself. When Nathan finally came out of his coma and Kyle tried to rescue him, Charles finally convinced Chiang to grab power for himself by assassinating Nathan. Chiang successfully intercepts the two men just as they are about to escape, and shoots Nathan twice in the chest, [...] him, and his last words were for Kyle, who he had a last-minute reconciliation with, to escape alive. The death of Nathan Bates resulted in the end of the Open City Agreement and subsequent devastation of Los Angeles several days later by the Visitors.

Kristine Walsh

Kristine Walsh was a television reporter and lover of Mike Donovan after his divorce. She ensured that she, along with Mike and Tony Wah Chong Leonetti represented the news network when the Visitors arrived and offered guided tours aboard the LA Mothership. She continues to report major Visitor-related news topics even when the First Invasion and the Resistance formed, such as the formation of the Visitor's Friends, and at Diana's request became official spokeswoman to the Visitors and became the sole news reporter in the world when the Visitor's took control of the media. She and Mike broke up when he joined the Resistance and failed to recruit her into the organisation.

She personally attended Supreme Commander John's ceremony over the revelation for a "cure to all forms of cancer", when the Resistance appeared and unmasked his true nature to the world. Instead of following Diana's instructions of discrediting the un-masking as a hoax, she began telling people the Resistance were right all along.

She was succeeded as Visitor spokeswoman by Eleanor Dupres.

Markos

Markos was a member of Garrison's motorcycle gang and was killed by Ham Tyler when the Resistance came to liberate the town from Garrison's control.

Mr. Chiang

Mr. Chiang, played by Aki Aleong, was the head of security at Science Frontiers and Nathan Bates's right-hand-man. Much of his past is shrouded in mystery, but it can be assumed he has had martial arts and samurai training with the rank of "majordomo" and was a professional assassin until Nathan recruited him. During the Second Invasion one year after Liberation Day, he was normally tasked by Nathan to use his security forces and double-agents to fight the Resistance. His squad was responsible for the destruction of Club Creole and he personally extracted information and killed several captured Resistance members. He was initially furiously loyal to Nathan, but when he was put into a coma by Ham Tyler, Chiang secretly took control of Science Frontiers and commanded the city's security using a holographic transmitter programmed with Nathan's image. He became power-hungry and more ruthless than ever, eventually he became desperate to hold onto his position to kill Nathan while he was trying to flee the facility. Chiang is then attacked by Nathan's son, Kyle, and in the ensueing scuffle, is shot by Kyle twice in the chest and killed.

Sean Donovan

Sean Donovan was the son of Mike Donovan, best friend of Josh Brooks and an avid baseball fan. He lived with his mother, Marjorie, and her boyfriend in San Pedro but saw his father whenever he returned from his trips for his news network abroad. When the Visitors came to Earth, he made the observation that the Visitors looked more human than alien, an observation that led to people suspecting them of hiding their true nature. When the First Invasion began, his town was attacked by Visitor troopers as punishment for several Resistance [...] attacks. Sean attempted to fight, but he, along with the rest of the town were overpowered and captured and taken to the LA Mothership, where Sean was put into stasis. Later, his grandmother, Eleanor Dupres, was able to secure a release through Steven, and is converted by Diana to make him secretly loyal to the Visitors. He lives with the Resistance and passes information along about the Red Dust, but his true allegiance is discovered by Julie Parrish when she notices he no longer enjoys baseball. Mike initially refuses to believe it, but in the end he does and feeds him false information about the Red Dust's deployment and helps distract the Visitors from their real attack plan. After the Visitors retreat from Earth, Mike enrolls him at a state school which eventually helps free his mind from Diana's tampering.

When the Second Invasion began, he was re-captured by Visitor forces when they seized the school and captured the students. Diana then gave him constant doses of a [...] called "Procorp" that reignited his faith in the Visitors and received a commission in the Young Guards. Mike tries desperately to re-capture him, but failed. He remains an enemy of the Resistance to this day.

Some Police Officers

In both the original series and sequels, some of the local police, incl. the Los Angeles Police collaborated with these aliens. At a checkpoint, a police officer is seen [...] a suspect who "ran" a police blockade/checkpoint, and another officer killed a Mexican "gardener" when it was revealed that he had aided The Resistance.

The Florist

The Florist was an unnamed old woman whose husband was taken to detention by the Visitors during the Second Invasion. She was among the many Collaborators recruited by Diana to secure a blood sample from the Starchild; Elizabeth Maxwell, for research into producing an anti-toxin to the Red Dust. She reluctantly agreed on the condition they release her husband in time for Christmas and, using a branch of holly sprayed with dioxin solution, she succeeded and safely delivered the sample to Diana and her science team. However, Diana double-crossed her and sent her away to become a meal, while being led away by the guards she kept screaming "YOU LIED! YOU LIED! YOU LIED!!!". Diana then casually remarked "Humans take holidays so seriously".
