Jack Caspar

Commander of the polydenum-hauling barge Diamond Lil, in 2650 he and other members of his crew were driven mad by the Hivers who controlled the OtherSpace Drive. He fatally shot his wife, Lil, before she escaped with their son, Kip Caspar, into a ventilation duct. Jack Caspar was gunned down by Vanguard crewmen from the Gettysburg when he refused to drop his weapon.
