Ed Holt

Ed Holt is a criminal of first order. He is a man with no morals and no conscience. He is a vagabond for the most part and though he sometimes leaves Texas, it is never far and never for very long.

Background: Ed Holt was born in Austin, Texas and about the only person on the face of the earth he has any care for at all is his mother who still lives there.

In 1874, Ed Holt pulled off his greatest caper to date just outside Austin where he and a band of his childhood friends robbed a bank. The bandits scattered after the caper with plans to meet in Mexico, but Ed had a different plan. He didn't stray far from the bank at all and held up in the house of a local family - the Felton's. He tied the entire Felton family to chairs except for their oldest daughter Beth. As lawmen hunted his cohorts, Ed stayed and laid low. He used Beth Felton to fetch him things, cook and be a slave for him while Ed threatened to kill her family should she breathe a word that he was there. After a week or so Ed decided it was now time to move on and that is when his sinister plan went completely evil. Holt loaded up the family's best horse, then went in to the family. Holt shot them all in front of Beth and left her alive then fled to the north.

Strength's and Weakness: Ed Holt employs the tick of using many an alias to keep lawmen off his scent. His current game is using the name of the town or city where he last was in place of his last name, so for example once he left Lawrence, Kansas Ed Holt became Ed Lawrence.

Ed Holt is also a ruthless individual with self-preservation being his key goal. He is always in the position of the cornered animal when confronted and is willing to do most anything to get away.

Ed Holt has a weakness in terms of women. It starts with his mother who he loves dearly, he can't stand to be far from her for too long. Next Holt has the need for female companionship on a regular basis and has a network of girls he is fond of, finding this network and where his favorites are living can be a key to crossing paths with him. Last Ed Holt is deeply racist, this means he cannot abide running to Mexico where he could possibly run to and actually vanish.
