## Description

### Appearance

Colton wears a black cowboy hat with bullets strapped near its band. He has a brown, shaggy beard, and wears all black clothing and a black duster with gold-lined cuffs. His belt, the Desperado's Sash, is lined with several radiant bullets and its buckle is a golden symbol of angel wings.

### Personality

Many who work with Colton describe him as a calm, collected individual, and faster on the draw than anyone in Endymia. He is a very effective businessman, establishing the Magnum Meridian as a major arms dealing company in only a few months. Colton has a very healthy relationship with his wife and children, but wants them to stay away from the firearm business and pursue interests of their own. Others he has worked with describe him as a rather philosophical and intelligent person.

## Synopsis

### Background

At one point, Colton presumably assassinated a friend of Daedalus Ravenstrike's, and stole the Desperado's Sash. At another point, he established the Magnum Meridian and built a family of his own.

### Arc 2: Curse of the Generals

Colton was introduced playing poker with his business associates of the Magnum Meridian, where Manfred Silverpax and Kibble Brandt started to intrude. After a young boy belonging to a gang accused Colton of killing his family for "justice," Colton took the kid on this offer and had a gun duel with him, ultimately ending in the kid's guns being instantly disarmed. He took an interest in Manfred, however, and challenged him at noon of the next day, and told him to seek therapy with Lucius Blackwood in order to uncover the Riddle of Smoke and Fire.

The next day, Colton challenged Manfred to a duel, and warned the Silver Crusaders that if they were to intervene, they would be gunned down by hidden snipers placed around the town. When the town clock struck noon, Colton and Manfred drew their pistols, and began to fire. After a brief battle, Colton was knocked unconsious, and Manfred was soon after from Colton's Hemorrhaging Critical. Seven healed them both, and Colton gave Manfred the Desperado's Sash.
