Bernard Daffodil-11 O'Hare

Rock Creek Park, Washington D.C.

Captain Bernard Daffodil-11 O'Hare was a pilot in the United States Air Force, which had already disbanded by the presidential administration of Wilbur Daffodil-11 Swain. For eleven years, O'Hare was stationed at the bottom of a secret underground silo in Rock Creek Park, which also concealed a presidential helicopter and thousands of gallons of "absolutely priceless gasoline". He maintained it single handed for two years after the mechanics began to simply wander off. Nearing the age of sixty, he emerged to determine "what on Earth was going on", finding the White House in shambles and not suspecting that a disoriented Swain was in fact the president. Arriving at the same time as Byron Hatfield, O'Hare then explained his situation and was awarded a "medal" of a "Lonesome No More!" campaign button that was pinned to Swain's own lapel.

The next day, O'Hare flew Swain and his last remaining staff member, dishwasher Carlos Daffodil-11 Villavicencio, away from the White House. They planned to leave Villavicencio in Indianapolis, where a large number of Daffodil family members had congregated, then visit Wilma Pachysandra-17 von Peterswald of Urbana, the widow of a physicist who invented a device which could communicate with the dead, and finally take Swain to his childhood home and former medical clinic in Vermont. After this, O'Hare was told he could keep the helicopter for himself. Since he was underground during the assigning of new middle names, Swain personally bestowed one on O'Hare—"Eagle-1", which, along with his "medal", pleased him immensely. However, upon seeing the festivities that greeted Swain and Villavicencio by their fellow Daffodils in Indianapolis, he wished he'd been a Daffodil instead, which Swain readily granted. Like all other family members, O'Hare was allowed to vote at the weekly meeting after their arrival. He flew with Swain over the Battle of Lake Macincuckee and later accompanied the president to meet with the victor, the King of Michigan. They then flew to Urbana and O'Hare waited by the helicopter while Swain used The Hooligan to communicate with Eliza, his dead sister. Finally, he took Swain not to Vermont but Manhattan, which had been mostly depopulated by the plague called The Green Death, and lowered him down to the observation deck of the Empire State Building.
