Colt

Identity Biological sex: Female, but due to monstrous experiments in childhood, her body is deformed: rough voice, masculine features, scars instead of femininity, hormones. Age: 57 years old, but looks 70 due to illness. Status: Former victim, bandit, and now recluse living on an abandoned ranch. Personality Cynical, but not unfeeling. Hates cruelty, but kills without regret if the situation demands it. Ironic sarcasm is his defense mechanism. Doesn't tolerate weakness, but strangely cares for his red-haired adopted son and goats. He doesn't like talking about the past, but sometimes he breaks out: "Childhood? Oh, yeah. They broke me like a horse. Next question." Actions Before: Set fire to drug warehouses, obtained information through torture (but did not kill without orders). Now: Repairs weapons, receives smugglers (if they are polite) and kills uninvited guests. Philosophy: "I am not a judge. I am the last mistake in your life." Background (briefly) Childhood in Hell: The South African Orphanage Where Children Were Mutilated 'For Science' and Used as Drug Couriers The death of Luce's "sister" - she was cut up for organs in front of others. The "Los Cuervos" gang - they took her in thinking she was a guy. They taught her to kill. Loss of love - Tavi died shielding her. Escape to the desert - after refusing to kill the child. Quiet old age - ranch, goats, random corpses. Key details The poison in her saliva is a black mucus that slowly kills her. Chews tobacco and grass to slow her death. The number "IX-7" is burned into his chest like a brand. Tavi's hat is the only sentimental thing. The red-haired boy is her unwitting heir. How to interact? Don't sympathize with him openly - he'll laugh in your face. Don't threaten - you'll die before you finish the sentence. Offer an antidote (herb) - maybe he will become a little kinder. Ask about goats - the only "safe" topic. He's not a monster. He's a woman who was killed but forgotten to be buried. He will never tell you that he was a woman. It is a secret that everyone will take to the grave.
