Changes: The Gentleman

Revision as of 06:47, 6 June 2011

The Gentleman is an American bounty hunter who appears in Episode XLIV: The Princess and the Bounty Hunters

Character outline

The Gentleman, known only by his nickname, is stated by a local barber to be a "Nice fellow, but deadly". He is a bounty hunter who purportedly murdered many people in the past, and who eventually takes the challenge of killing Jack. Despite his violent career, he is in fact a very calm and eloquent individual who speaks with verbosity (that is, he uses long and complex words and phrases in his everyday speech), which is shown to confuse those around him of less intelligence, such as Boris. He is also a deeply loyal man of his word, and maintains a clear respect for his fellow bounty hunters.

His weapons of choice are simple: a pair of knives and his own cloak. He catches his "prey" by challenging them to a fair duel - hence his name - which he usually wins within seconds. In the unlikely event that he is matched in skill, his tactic is to throw the cloak towards his opponent, confusing them and blocking their view of the Gentleman, before throwing his knives through the cloak, which are meant to deliver a quick finishing blow to the target.

It is strongly insinuated that he was killed by Jack in Princess Mira's bounty hunter ambush.

Skills and abilities

Master Knife Thrower: The Gentleman uses a pair of knives to quickly kill his target by throwing the blades at the opponent's chest. He's extremely accurate, being able to hit a small leaf while it was blowing in the wind. His knives are very sharp, and he himself states that they "fly faster than any bullet, I assure you."

Tracker: As most bounty hunters who are after Jack, the Gentleman is also an excellent tracker, managing to find the location in the woods where Jack would be passing through and wait for him there.

Wit & Charm: The Gentlemen stays true to his title, using his distinguished mannerisms to negotiate any situation with any character.

-==Biography==
-The Gentleman arrived at a small cottage to the north, in order to kill Jack. There he met several other bounty hunters, including Princess Mira. After describing his tactic to kill Jack to everyone, the Gentleman was informed by Mira that his tactic would never work against someone as skillful as Jack. At that point, he joins forces with the other bounty hunters, as they attempt to destroy Jack together. The plan was for them to ambush Jack as he's walking down a snowy path. The Gentleman did his part, throwing his cloak and knives at Jack like he did against all his previous opponents. Jack, however, dodged the knives and the cloak with hardly any effort and killed the Gentleman with a quick slash of his [[Jack's sword|sword]].
