Charles "Chazd" Deckford

= Charles Deckford =

Charles "Chazd" Deckford, born in 1880, was a huge hulking man. Sometime in the late 1880s he met Colton whom he formed a strong bond with. The two created a gang of outlaws named the "Bloodhounds" and they ran typical gang operations in the area around Valentine N.H. After meeting James "Black Hat" and forming a new larger criminal gang named the barons, they moved operations to Rhodes in the scarlet meadow region.

Sometime in the late 1890s Chazd was given the order from James to gun down as many police officers as possible in Saint Denis. To cover this up, James then ordered him to gun down anyone associated with the massacre including his old friend Colton. He shot Colton in the leg however Colton managed to escape on his horse. Colton would gather loyalists and restart the Bloodhounds in an all out gang civil war across the American frontier. After tracking down Colton to the Van Horn trading post, Chazd ambushed him and Colton's right hand man Luis. Chazd quickly shot down Luis but was subsequently executed by Colton who told him that "I hope you find peace in the next life, old partner".
