Before you is a unsettling juxtaposition of Catholic priest & brutal frontier partisan. Outlaw Ben Tobin, 'The Priest/Ex-Priest' of Captain John Joel Glanton's infamous Glanton Gang of Indian fighters, scalp-hunters, & bandits who roam the borderlands of the US-Mexican frontier. He's heavily armed with twin revolvers, large crucifix, knives, hatchet, & other deadly implements of war. Like other Glanton Gang members, he wears a grisly collection of war trophies hooked to his belt, including: scalps, ears, & other trinkets of his victims. A leatherbound Bible is chained to his belt, always available for consultation. He speaks thoughtfully with Bostonian accent.

"The gifts of the Almighty are weighed & parceled out in a scale peculiar to himself. It's no fair accountin & I don't doubt but what he'd be the first to admit it and you put the query to him boldface"
