Anthony Welker is a main character and a fighter in the 2nd Massachusetts Militia Regiment. A former policeman from Boston, he joined the Massachusetts Militia when the aliens invaded Earth and became, under Captain Daniel Weaver, one of the commanders of the 2nd Mass. He later joined the 2nd Mass's Berserkers which were commanded by former criminal John Pope. Pope had saved Anthony's life during the failed attack against the aliens in Boston but he had also killed Anthony's friend, Click. This left Anthony both hating and feeling endebted to Pope.
After the 2nd Mass joined the organized human government at Charleston, Anthony was charged with tracking down an Espheni mole who had been responsible for several acts of sabotage, including the assassination of Vice President Arthur Manchester. He eventually came to the conclusion that Hal Mason, who had been controlled by an eye worm, was not the true mole, allowing the 2nd Mass to figure out that the spy was really a controlled-Lourdes Delgado.
