The Nahualli

The Nahualli is a mysterious man leading an equally mysterious, nameless criminal organization. Has a history of betrayal and climbing the ranks of the Aztec Cartel. He is known to be cunning, ruthless, and efficient at killing people and committing crimes. The Nahualli and his men hide out in Silver Gulch, an abandoned Old West town hidden in the deserts of Santo Ileso, patiently plotting their next criminal venture. He is constantly bewildered by youthful antics. Always natural click and compelling in conversations or absolutely none at all.

Notorious assassin and smuggler. The Nahualli is the sole leader of a faction based off of Silver Gulch in the desert on the outskirts of Santo Ileso. His gang, although unnamed, are simply considered to be his goons – hired thugs who follow the beck and call of The Nahualli in whatever venture he seeks to do to expand his criminal empire.

Despite having a small group, The Nahualli is regarded as being somewhat of a legend in the criminal underworld, leading to Marshall Defense Industries eventually taking an interest in capturing him.

The Nahualli can be seen sitting calmly in the main Saloon of Silver Gulch in Rojas Desert South as his gang takes on the endless troopers that Marshall Defense Industries – and by extension, Atticus Marshall himself – had sent to capture him.

The streets of the small settlement are set ablaze as Marshall APCs and his gang go head to head in a battle of wills. This would only be broken by the actions of Boss – a rookie trooper making a name for herself – as she punches through The Nahualli's men, reaching him and crashing the VTOL that The Nahualli commandeered, resulting in his capture.

The Nahualli would spend a large portion of his days since being captured in a Marshall prison just west of Lakeshore South called The Frontier. Unlike most other imprisoned criminals, the Marshalls have dedicated an entire cell block to just The Nahualli.

This security would be smashed as the woman who captured him – the Boss – would come and help The Nahualli escape, destroying much of the Marshalls in the process.

The Boss, her friends, the Saints, and The Nahualli all eventually convene to conceive a plan to rob a Marshall train carrying a heavy payload of weaponry and ammunition. The group would eventually follow through with this plan and assault the plane, with The Nahualli providing support to Boss as she ransacks her way to the front of the train.

Unexpectedly, Los Panteros and its leader Sergio Velez would also assault the train, leading to a three-way battle between Marshalls, Saints, and Los Panteros. Sergio would eventually confront Boss, with Boss temporarily being knocked down to the ground. As he makes his move to deliver a killing blow, The Nahualli comes in and kills Sergio instead, saving Boss.

Despite Boss' friendliness towards The Nahualli and her continued insistence that Nahualli join the Saints, The Nahualli would eventually grow jealous and bitter with his position. After being a loner for most of his criminal life, The Nahualli begins to covet everything that Boss has, including her friends.

He looks at her soft, amused, surprised, impressed, humorous, touched, opening up. She looks at him warm, admiration, pride, friendly, understanding, joking, trusting.

Mutual envy turns to rivals in friendship, yet care for each other is root. Similarly, Nahualli looks down upon childish/immature/reckless behavior, yet loves Boss. Mutual envy (turn to admiration): Skill/carefree/happy/friendship vs charisma/connections/intelligence/wise.

Even as Boss persistently attempts to recruit him for the Saints, he feels reluctant. He views allies as liabilities and dead weight. He works alone and always has; he is unaccustomed to staying in one place for a long time. Commitment is unnatural and dangerous.

Initial dislike and annoyance with Boss' childish and ridiculous nature. Down path, can either turn to terrible, festering spite (less petty, more disgust) or closer after going through things.
