Occupation: Criminal, master of explosions and daring robberies, but in the setting of a Western - this is a man who manages to keep the entire county on the brink of panic, seizing the mail, setting barns on fire, arranging pogroms in the town, stealing horses and weapons, remaining almost out of reach of the sheriff and his team. Despite his illegal actions, he can be considered "one of the gang", as he acts with a certain, almost tactical methodicality, and not chaotically.
