Hmmm. I suspect far from a vagabond romantic. No doubt with a history of chasing woman but also involving large calibre firearms and silver mines ... And (hmmm) he drove how many miles to meet up with the UC crew ? I wonder if he may have, or have had, some professional involvement with Hoov ???

Just guesing. I love a mystery.
