Brown Limper Staffor, son of Parson Staffor, was raised in the same village as Jonnie Goodboy Tyler. Born with a clubfoot, he should have been killed at birth, but he was saved as he was the only child the Staffors had ever had.

There has never been any affection between Jonnie and Brown Limper, and the seed of hate that Brown Limper has harbored for Jonnie over many years continues to fester—leaving him jealous and bitter.

Climbing the ranks from council member of the small village near Denver to the Council of Earth in the human rebellion, Limper has a personal agenda that poses a dire threat to the success of the human resistance.
