Roger Taylor

Roger Taylor was the son of Allison and Henry Taylor. He became the First Son when his mother, a Senator and President-elect, was inaugurated as President during Redemption.

After Redemption
As Roger and his girlfriend Samantha Roth prepared to attend the inauguration of the Senator, Roger expressed much affection for Samantha. He received a disturbing call, however, from an friend Chris Whitley, and Roger was worried that Chris was using drugs again. Samantha strongly disliked the idea of seeing Chris, but Roger insisted that he speak with his friend even if it was briefly. Roger insisted to Chris that he would be departing for the inauguration of his mother in 45 minutes, so Chris hurried over.

Roger's Secret Service bodyguard, Edward Vossler, frisked Chris, and stated that Chris must be high. Chris informed Roger that his boss, Nichols, and another strange man got him involved in illegal money activities, so Roger told him to inform the FBI. Chris wanted Roger's mother to assist, alluding to a presidential pardon, but Roger departed.

Roger and Samantha greeted Senator Taylor and Henry at the White House after Agent Vossler drove them. Elsewhere, Chris was murdered by men working for Jonas Hodges and the mole, Vossler.

Before Day 7
Roger was believed to have committed suicide following the events of Redemption. Three days after his apparent death, his girlfriend Samantha Roth received $400,000 in an offshore account. The money was not detected by the FBI, the first investigators of Roger's death.

Day 7
Roger's father, Henry Taylor, refused to accept the conclusion that the young man had killed himself. He employed a private investigator to continue following leads, and the PI eventually discovered the money that Samantha had received. Henry confronted Samantha about the money, but she divulged nothing about the situation.
