Phil Burnbank

Phil is a rancher in Montana in 1925. He studied classical literature at Yale, where he was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa honor society. He manages a large ranch that he co-owns with his brother George. Apparently, all his knowledge about being a cowboy and living in the wild comes from a man named Bronco Henry, a local legend.

Personality: Phil is a bully who revels in the misfortune of others. His greatest pleasure seems to be humiliating people and making them suffer in any way possible. He is a competent and capable rancher and cowboy, skilled in everything from braiding ropes to riding horses and castrating bulls. Despite his difficult temperament, Phil commands great respect from his employees, who view him not only as their boss but also as the leader of their small community.
