Joe

Joe was the stranger in A Fistful of Dollars and is the hero of the story. His favourite choice of weapon is a revolver which is much faster than a rifle and ultimately allows Joe to beat Ramón Rojo in the final duel. Joe arrived in a Mexico border town called San Miguel where two feud families, the rojo brothers (consisting of Don Miguel, Esteban and Ramón Rojo) and the Baxters (the town sherriff's family), battled each other from decades to take control of the alcool and weapons monopoly. After knowing about the rivalry beetween the two families Joe projected to play them against each other in order to make him self a fistfull of dollars. He cooperated with the Rojo brothers, keeping an eye on Ramòn wich was the most intelligent of all, while also working for the Baxters. After collecting a relativeley lot of money, given to him by the two families to thank him for his service, Joe intended to leave the town but not long later he met a woman named Marisol, she told him she was a prisoner of Ramòn Rojo and that she desired to reunite with her husband and child, so after letting her free he gave her a part of his money and told her and her husband Josè to flee the town with there son Jesus. When Ramòn heard the news he quickley captured Joe and tortured him, he also made him left handed after breaking his right hand. Joe eventually escaped his enemy and found refuge and help from Piripero the carpenter-funeral director. Ramòn, thinking the Baxter family were hiding him away burnt down their house and killed every single one of them. Some time later, when Joe recovered from his injures, he planned an assault on Ramòn and his henchmen, the assault started with a big explosion in the central town's square, Ramòn and his four men came out in the smoke of the explosion and saw coming towards them Joe in perfect shape sayng aim to the heart, after a moment Ramòn drew his gun out and started firing at him in the chest, after falling backwards seemingly dead, he started getting back up as if he were immune to the bullets, he took off his poncho revealing below it a steel plate serving as a shield-armor. Ramòn and his men tried ones more to shoot him but he fastly drew his gun and shot all four of the henchmen while only disarming Ramòn of his weapon, he later put his own gun down and challenged him to a drawing duel, whoever picked their gun up, reload first and shot the other would win. Ramòn tried to pick his weapon up and reload but Joe was faster and shot him, killing him and ending his brother hood. Esteban tried to shoot the gunslinger from a building but Silvanito the innkeaper killed him in time. Joe, having restored justice, later fled the city before the government forces would arrive.
