COLONEL RICHARD TRASK[]
.jpg){kind=link}
Richard Trask had been a Colonel in the Confederate States Army during the Civil War. While a good tactician, Trask was also a ruthless and merciless opponent on the battlefield. After the war, Trask took a group of former soldiers who remained loyal to him, garbed them in masks and hoods, and headed westward, offering out his services to those willing to pay for them. As such, Trask became involved in the Railroad Wars of the 1870s, fighting on behalf of the Santa Fe and Pacific Railroad against the smaller Colorado and Texas Line. This brought him into conflict with the Rawhide Kid and others. Trask's side eventually prevailed thanks to their larger size and resources and William Tyler expanded his railroad empire all over the American West. William Tyler also dispatched Trask and his men to the town to protect hius son Billy and to kill those coming to kill him. Trask and his men, however, arrived too late to stop a vengeful Rosa Kare from gunning down Billy. A good military tactician, Trask was a ruthless and mericless adversary. He was also good with firearms and a fine horseman. Colonel Trask has access to his own personal gang of ruthless, battle-hardened ex-soliders who are well armed with pistols and rifles.
