Sam Starfall

Sam Starfall is the secondary protagonist of the Freefall comic. He is a sqid – a kind of squid-like alien-as well as the captain of the ship The Savage Chicken, and, as such, Florence's and Helix's employer.

Personality
Sam is an impulsive and rather reckless kleptomaniac. He loves attention and wants to become famous to the point of legend thanks to his thieving skill and overall criminal behavior. He enjoys stealing, causing havoc, sneaking into movie theaters, watching cheesy japanese movies and spending money. He feels respect towards crooks, even if it is him they are trying to swindle, like Mr Kornada or Max Post, although he might try to get back at them afterwards.

Helix
Helix is Sam's friend and employee, and his impressionable nature often turns him into Sam's acolyte in his schemes. Sam wants to teach Helix his roguish outlooks at life and is worried that Florence will teach him a more standard code of ethics.

Florence Ambrose
Despite having trouble understanding Florence's code of ethics, which Sam sees as stricter than that of an average human, Sam enjoys her company more than any previous crewmember, save probably Helix. Sam recognise that her skills help the ship, but often laments that she is completely honest.

Maxwell Post
Sam respect Max as a fellow swindler and pickpocket.
