Stephen "Sooty" Hartford

Stephen "Sooty" Hartford was one of the secondary antagonists in the Bitter Creek campaign, a tiefling wizard from Snakewood. He was the youngest member of the Hartford Gang.
== Personality ==
Sooty was very much a mischievous gremlin of a child, known for getting into many destructive antics thanks to his love of explosives. He was very proficient at evading capture and punishment, a skill he frequently used to his advantage. Sooty had a penchant for taunting his opponents. He is never seen without some kind of helmet or bucket on his head.
== History ==
=== Pre-Campaign ===
Sooty was a member of the Hartford Gang, known for his crimes of vandalism (usually through explosives) and petty theft and larceny. After his father passed away, Sooty was adopted by "Blackheart" Smith, the new head of the Hartford Gang.
=== Bitter Creek Campaign ===
Sooty was the fourth of Sheriff Steele's bounties that the Bitter Creek party went after, with Sooty at the time residing in the mines north of Snakewood, likely looking for underground treasures. He was found by the party, and after a long-winded gunfight, Sooty was captured by Grey. As his minions were being dealt with, the TNT Sooty and his minions had brought with them went off for various reasons, causing the already unstable mineshaft to cave in. Sooty was one of the casualties of this cave-in, his hat the only surviving remnant of him.
== Notable Moments ==
* Being the last remaining bounty of the four Hartford siblings
* Being indirectly responsible for the cave-in and Moon Matt's death
== Trivia ==
* Sooty is classed as a Wizard despite not having any magical attacks. This was due to attempts by FennekinGalaxy to re-theme spells and magical attacks into items to fit the Western setting, before going all-in on magic.
*Sooty had the lowest bounty of any of the Hartford siblings at 75G, despite his crimes potentially being the most destructive.
