- "They call me Buster Breaker; this fine lil' lady is Valentina DeRossi. Safe Journeys, Mr. Vangelis."
- ―Breaker to Vance Vangelis
Buster Breaker is a bounty hunter in the employ of Vance Vangelis, for the purpose of the assassination of Sefer Yetzirah. He travels with a female companion, Valentina DeRossi.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Breaker is first and foremost a man of God. He is a Puritanical Christian, and follows his beliefs to the very letter. He cannot abide any of the seven sins, and as such lives an incredibly simple existence, his only extravagance being his devotion to antique weaponry. He wears an Old South American army uniform that has been dyed black, and wears a white clerical collar. He sports waxed white moustachios and a black stetson hat, as well as a long black travelling cloak. He is 6'11 and weighs 152kg; as such, he is immensely physically strong, being able to lift a man off his feet with one arm and crush his neck with no visible strain. He is also a top-class gunslinger.
History[edit | edit source]
Aboard Vance Vangelis's ship, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Buster Breaker and Valentina DeRossi slaughtered the entire ensemble of mercenaries, bounty hunters and assassins that Vangelis had brought together to kill Sefer Yetzirah. Breaker made a show of the killings, appealing to Vangelis' somewhat unhinged tastes. The pair left soon after giving their names to Vangelis, having secured the contract for themselves. Breaker's motive for undertaking the contract is Yetzirah's coming into possession of the Fruit of Life, a blasphemous act by Breaker's accounts.
Weapons[edit | edit source]
As a collector of antique weapons, Breaker has accumulated a trove of priceless firearms and other pieces. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but goes some way to showing what Breaker employs on a routine basis. Breaker also has a huge variety of hidden weapons, concealed in his clothing, backpack, accessories and even (reportedly) in his moustache.
Colt 1851 Navy .36 The Colt Navy 1851 in .36 Black Powder.
Breaker makes use of a pair of Colt Navy 1851's, custom made in black and brass, with his offhand left revolver re-rifled for an 8-groove left grip. The right sports a similar main hand custom 8-groove rifling. The pair, while modified, are original 1817 year of production revolvers. Breaker uses these dual-wield, cocking each with his thumbs. Breaker wears these in open-bottom holsters that allow pivoting and firing without drawing.Colt 1861 Navy Colt Navy 1861 (unmodified).
Breaker has previously made use of a brace of eight Colt Navy 1861's, re-chambered for the Colt Short .38 cartridge. Breaker wears these in long leather holsters, so that a pair sits under his armpits, on his ribs, on his hips and on his thighs. This allows him to simply discard the revolvers when they are empty, maintaining a volley of fire.Lahti L39 The Lahti L39 with attached skid bipod.
Breaker employs an L39 20mm anti-tank rifle as his primary firearm. The weapon is modified so that it is belt fed, and is operated via a series of mechanical servo-arms that Breaker controls via clockwork pulleys and pistons beneath his uniform. The rifle hangs behind his left shoulder, mag behind his ear; the weapon is pulled down and forward by the servos, swinging on a rail, until it sits at Breaker's hip, allowing him to shoot the weapon via the pistol grip. Breaker's weapon does not have the skid bipod attached.Winchester Model 1887 Lever Action Shotgun The Winchester M1887.
Breaker has a Winchester M1887 Lever Action Shotgun concealed within his coat. The weapon hangs on a hook on his left thigh, so that he can rotate and fire the weapon's first shell without drawing it. Breaker variously loads the weapon with 00-buck, birdshot/rocksalt combination and incendiary 12-gauge shells.
