Ashwood Stranger
The Ashwood Stranger is a hooded Necromunda Bounty Hunter gunfighter[1], who has been known to surround himself with gangs of outcasts in Hive Primus's Underhive.[2]
History
Who he truly is remains a mystery, but some believe the Stranger was once a Palanite Enforcer due to the single custom Equalizer Stub Pistol he wields, which is surprisingly similar to Palanite manufacture (he typically wields a custom autopistol in his other hand). This is added to the fact that the Stranger has a habit of bringing down rogue Enforcers[1] with his own brand of justice[2], even when the Merchant Guild will not place a bounty on them[1]. He even uses underhive gangs to bring down corrupt Palanite Enforcers[2], though not all Enforcers are his enemies. The Stranger will even work with the more virtuous of their kind from time to time, if their goals align.[1]
Whoever he truly is, Ashwood Stranger is a force for justice for the powerless. The Ash Waste Nomads blade he wears on his back hints at the bounty hunter's long travels between Necromunda's hive cities, and when his job is done, the Stranger simply disappears back into the Hive World's outlands.[1]
