Name: Jorge Esteban Villacruz del Rios
Age: 37 years of age
Summary: Jorge was born along the Pacific coast of the northernmost parts of Mexico in 1842, when the territory still reached as far north as the redwood forests. He was all of four years old when the United States fought Mexico, and two years later, the loss of both father and way of life at the end of the conflict with the surrender of California and other territories to the Americans was a lot for a six year old to bear. A resentment grew in his heart, for the del Rios had been powerful and influential under the Mexican government, and even at his young age, he understood that things had changed because of his new oppressors.
Jorge harbored that resentment the rest of his life, eschewing any form of legal lifestyle beneath the American government that he could manage. Beginning as a troublemaker before he turned 14, Jorge fell in with the
Bandidos Guapos, raiding and thieving from any American establishment that they might. It lasted for years, their knowledge of the California wilderness serving them well through many an attempt at capture, and Jorge earned enough infamy to be given a $200 bounty.
But all good things must come to an end, and US Marshals managed to track down and kill or capture Jorge's entire crew, save for himself. He rode east, fleeing the law, and only recently has come to Highland in Utah. Unsure whether he should progress further or remain, the criminal is holed up in the West Inn, living off the meager $40 he managed to bring with him.
Appearance: A strapping man of perhaps 5'10", Jorge is a dark man, his skin tanned with years in the sun. He wears his hair long, finding little reason to cut it in the American style, and he wears a ragged goatee. A pistol on either hip, with the capability to shoot equally well from either, Jorge wears a charm on a leather cord around his neck, a memory of his family in the form of his mother's wedding necklace.
Other: Jorge is a sarcastic man, coming across as rough and often brash in a manner that binds people together rather than pushes them away. Though he would not do well in the slightest in more formal settings, he fits in well in the western cultures.
