Hosea, though originally an intelligent outlaw in touch with his wits, has been transformed into a character akin to Human Starscream from Transformers Prime, with a muscular build. This new Hosea retains his sharp intellect and experience as a con-artist and thief spanning over two decades. As a slick talker, he utilizes his brains to navigate various situations, preferring cunning and elaborate schemes to swindle people out of their money rather than resorting to violence.
