I'm Jane. I held over a week ago but pre-Thanksgiving workload has eaten my entire life. So I'm rushing to get this guy in before my hold expires tomorrow night. Here's to hoping.
For your consideration; this is Luke Callighan. He's so market tested it sorta makes Hector forgivable. He's a confidence man, thief and smuggler. Luke prefers to charm his marks out of their goods, riches and sometimes pants (if that's what it takes) but he'll also stab them in the back to get the job done. Or front. He won't hesitate to dirty his hands if pushed. With a deceptively wholesome vibe, he seems trustworthy. He isn't. While he's got charm in spades and is aces at what he does, he's got an Achilles Heel. He's an awful judge of the character of anyone he's not targeting for a job. The pretty, manipulative rancher's daughter can make a fool of him with hardly any effort. He's also vain. Remember Flynn Rider in Tangled lamenting that his nose was always wrong on 'wanted' posters? That's Luke. In the same vein, he's not all tar and muck. He does have a heart, or maybe it's just a jaded predilection with the idea of being a bit of a Robin Hood. It's mostly crap. He does only tend to prey on the wealthy, though. For the first half of his week he'll be in Sweetwater wooing the widow of a railroad baron while spinning a story about a corrupt lawman blackmailing his poor, destitute family for protection against the Pawnee. Sob, right? On Thursday or Friday he'll get found out. He'll have to rough it with any friends he has among the bandits for the rest of the week.
