Lassiter. Lassiter, #1

Want to commit suicide? The quickest way is to tangle with Lassiter. Cross him just once-and he'll pull the trigger for you. He's killed a lot of people for a lot less. Lassiter wasn't born mean, but he learned easily. But he's no meaner than the times he lives in, no dirtier than the men he's killed. Not that Lassiter frets about dead men, because he never killed a man who didn't need killing-more or less.
Lassiter is cold as a corpse in January, tough as a chuck-wagon steak, cruel as an Apache when he has to be. Lassiter is everything you would expect a hero not to be.
