The man Kate believed for many years to be her biological father. He and Kate shared a great bond, and they shared activities with each other. For example they went hunting together, which is how Kate learned her tracking skills. He worked as a Sergeant Major in the US Army, in either the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. He was married to Diane Janssen, Kate's mother, but the relationship broke down, most likely due to the prolonged occasions when Sam was required to travel.
