Canon City
The Marshal
The Marshal
Played By: Burn Gorman
A bounty hunter working for the Germans who stylizes himself after wild west sheriffs. He and others like him are the closest thing to law and order in the Rockies.
- Badass Longcoat: A duster fits his fearsome look.
- Bounty Hunter: A very old-west-ish one, complete with cowboy hat.
- Creepy Souvenir: The Marshal collects the fingers of every man and woman he kills.
- Determinator: An unsettlingly dark example, there is very little that will stop him from finding his targets.
- The Dragon: The highest authority existing within the lawless Rocky Mountain Neutral Zone, and directly answering to the Nazis.
- The Dreaded: This dude is bad news. Most people tend to get scarce when he comes to town. He likes it that way.
- Implacable Man: More mundane the most, but the man is still pretty unstoppable when it comes to finding his targets.
- Innocently Insensitive: Despite being a ruthless enforcer for the Nazis and being very openly racist, he comes off as more curious than hateful towards those he sees as "lesser". He has trouble grasping the concept of a Muslim dealing with pork (it's clarified that there Ain't No Rule in the Quran against selling it), and notes with amusement that albinism being "bad", despite whiteness being "good", seems like too much of a good thing more than anything else.
- Karma Houdini: The Marshal faces no repercussions for his crimes, as expected.
- Politically Incorrect Villain: Frequently comments on others' racial and religious status, usually with a superior attitude towards it. Oddly enough, he seems to do it more out of bemusement than hatred.
- Sadist: He is shown to enjoy hunting down his targets, as seen when he comes after Juliana.
- The way he messes with Carl the bookshop owner (real name David Frees) is just downright cruel. The poor guy wasn't even part of the Resistance, he was just minding his own business trying to make a living and stay under the radar. His only "crime" was escaping from a Nazi death camp ten years earlier. After several minutes of interrogation and thinly-veiled threats, the Marshall announces that he knows who Carl really is, then adds, "I'm gonna kill you now, and there's nothing you can say or do to change that."
- Then we see him pursue Juliana twice. Both times, he moves at a leisurely pace, gleefully taunting her. The second time, she's frantically trying to start a car while the Marshall approaches menacingly, brandishing the shotgun he fully intends to blow her head off with. The creepy bastard actually yells at her to take her foot off the gas pedal, because she's flooding the motor. Then he doesn't even drive fast in pursuit. He's savoring her fear every step of the way. Seriously, the guy's a fucking disease.
- Scarily Competent Tracker: As mentioned above, he is extremely skilled at finding his targets.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: He's not seen again after Juliana escapes from him and returns to San Francisco.
