## Description

Maverick Delano Is A Notorious Bounty Hunting Gunslinger And Mercenary Known For Hunting Bounties Far And Wide From New Austin To San Navassa And Being Very Ruthless In His Hunt. Maverick Was Born December 15th, 1838, To Unnamed Parents Somewhere In North America. At Some Point, Maverick Lost His Parents In A Deadly Fire And Grew Up On His Own In The Streets From God Knows Where.

In His Early Adulthood, Maverick Enlisted In The Union Cavalry Corps And Learned How To Be An Effective Killer For The Army. Maverick's War Record Would Prove Him To Be A Vindictive Kill-Crazy Sociopath. So To Paint A Better Picture For Future Black Soldiers, The Army Stationed At Khoon Valley Fabricated Reports That Portrayed Him As An Honorable Self-Sacrificing Soldier. At Some Point, Maverick Left The Army Some Years After The Civil War Due To Boredom.

At Some Point, Maverick Joined The Khoon Valley Legion Of Outlaws And Performed A Variety Of Jobs With People Of A Similar Occupational Status. It Is Unclear What His Relationship With Any Of The Members Were. After The Legion Fell, Maverick Roamed The Country Before Arriving In Komanda City And Joining The Komanda City Bounty Hunting Guild. From There On, Maverick's Reputation Grew Bigger And He Was Becoming Both A Respected And Feared Bounty Hunter.

Some Time In 1869, Maverick Arrived In Komanda City To Receive A Job From A High-Ranking Member Of The Guild. After Getting His Target, Maverick Assures His Employer He Will Have The Bounty By High Noon. After Riding To The Verordnung Desert And Tracking His Bounty To Wanchek'ir, Maverick Finds His Bounty After Threatening The Bartender And Subdues The Outlaw Tommy Fench Before Taking Him To Komanda City To Turn Him In And Collect His Bounty.

Some Time After The Job, Maverick Is Approached By A Mysterious Man And Is Hired To Help A Small Crew Of Outlaws To Rob A Train Belonging To A Company Called 'The Noble Support Company'. When Maverick Meets The Crew, They Ride Close To The Train And Jump On Board Before Exchanging Gunfire With The Guards. Maverick And The Outlaws Shoot Their Way Further As Some Of The Hired Guns Were Also Shot Down, The Bounty Hunter And The Remaining Guns Pushed Through Before Getting To The Car And Looting All The Valuables Before Another Hired Gun Was Shot And Killed. Maverick Gets Scarred On The Bottom Left Side Of His Face With A Lantern Before The Last Remaining Hired Gun Saves His Life And Kills The Guard.

After The Remaining Hired Gun Asks How They're Getting Off, Maverick Holds The Outlaw At Gunpoint And Assures Him The Betrayal Isn't Personal. The Hired Gun Then Tackles Maverick Before Stabbing The Bounty Hunter In The Left Eye With A Throwing Knife. Maverick Then Kicks The Hired Gun Before Shooting Him In The Chest As The Outlaw Falls Off The Train. After Realizing He's Out Of Options, Maverick Uncoupled The Last Train Car And Threw Himself Off The Train Car Before Rolling To Avoid Further Serious Harm. Maverick Then Called His Horse And Rode Back To Komanda City Before Turning The Satchel In To His Employer.

Maverick Receives A Six-Thousand Dollar Payment From The Train Job And Leaves Komanda City To Find Opportunities Elsewhere.

In 1876, During The Coup Of Guisto Na'o, Maverick Is Hired By Jerimoth Sage To Help Eliminate The Threat Of Jeal Labarthe And Jeremiah Beatrice. Maverick Burns Down The Saloon In Nocatta City To Kill Jeal After The Latter Finds Out The Outlaw Leader's True Identity.

The Notorious Bounty Hunter Returns Again In 1883 Hunting The Head Of Alejan Jorge Garcia In Virgin Plains.

Before Maverick Can Kill The Outlaw, Virgil Jones Holds Maverick At Gunpoint And Challenges The Superior Bounty Hunter To A Duel. Maverick Accepts The Duel And Gets Into A Position While Alejan Makes His Escape.

Before Maverick Can Kill Virgil Jones, The Two Rivals Are Interrupted By A Stranger Who Points Out That Alejan Got Away. The Two Look Back To See Alejan Waving At Them As The Boat He's On Leaves The Region. When Virgil Points Out They Didn't Finish Their Duel, Maverick Rejects The Other Bounty Hunter And Leaves The Docks.

Years Later In 1890, Maverick Is Hired By A Former Sharpshooter To Capture Alexander HawThorne And Bring Him To Leon's Compound. When The Bounty Hunter Escapes And Gathers A Force To Take On Leon And His Bunch, Maverick Helps Defend The Compound Before Making His Escape When Alexander's Forces Overwhelm The Faction.

In 1895, Maverick Delano Hires Virgil Jones To Help Track Down A Dangerous Adversary, The Brutal Raider Of Maledetta Known As Jabez Walker. After Agreeing To Not Kill Virgil Once The Job Is Done, Both Bounty Hunters Leave For Khoon Valley To Begin Their Search. After Investigating An Old Fort, Maverick And Virgil Travel To Dustwater To Get Some Intel On Where The Raider Is.

Some Time Later, Maverick And Virgil Learn Of A Camp Full Of Raiders And Attack It. When They Interrogate One Of Walker's Men, They Learn The Brutal Raider Knew They Were Coming And Fled Off To San Navassa. After Executing The Raider, He And Jones' Take The Journey To San Navassa To Continue Their Hunt.

Upon Arriving In The City, The Duo Investigate The City For Hours Before Getting A Drink At The Saloon Where They Are Approached By One Of Walker's Men And Subdue Him Before Riding The Outlaw To A Location To Extract Some Information.

After Maverick Tortures The Information Out Of The Raider, He And Jones' Ride Off And Chase After Them Upon Discovering The Raiders Pursuing A Train. Maverick And Virgil Jump On The Train And Execute The Raiders Before Eventually Reaching Jabez's Position. When Maverick Tries Getting Closer, He Is Shot In The Chest, Revealing A Steel Chestplate, Both Bounty Hunters Wait For The Raider To Reload Before They Gun Him Down.

Once They Get Jabez's Corpse Off The Train, Maverick And Virgil Take His Body Into Saint Denis And Collect Their Bounty. After Saying Goodbye To His Old Friend, Maverick Walked Away To Buy Some Supplies And Better Gear.
