• Details: Sly theft, typically steals horses and food. Likes to plan things out rather than just ‘going for it’
• When alone: Smoke. Hides out in the cabin. Forages. Maintains his horses and weapons
• With/Near sheriffs: Adept liar, keeps mental notes of his lies so he doesn’t slip up or lose track

Origin

Constantly grew up stealing horses, food, and cash, typically with Francis. Both Imani and Francis still “work” together, even as Imani became an adult.
