Colonel John Sartoris is the patriarch of the Sartoris clan and a prominent planter in Yoknapatawpha County. He doesn't appear in person in this story, but his name does: Rosa seems to assume it is potent enough to command the Yankee troops - "I'm John Sartoris' mother-in-law! Send Colonel Dick to me!" (49).
