{{NecromundaPortal}}{{WIP}}{{Otheruses|USE=Necromundan bounty hunter|OTHERUSE=graphic novel series|OTHERPAGE=Kal Jerico (Graphic Novel Series)}}[[File:The Complete Kal Jerico.jpg|thumb]] '''Kal Jerico''' is the most famous bounty hunter in [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]]'s [[Hive Primus]]. As well as hunting those with bounties Jerico often has a bounty of his own due to his unorthodox methods, leading as often as not to trouble finding him; resolves these situations using his trademark debonair swashbuckling style, relying on quick wits and his good luck more than brute strength. His associates include his half-[[Ratskin]] sidekick [[Scabbs]] and more recently his family's [[Cyber-Mastiff]] [[Wotan]] and former enemy and fellow uphiver turned bounty hunter [[Yolanda Catallus]]; the more ambivalent spy-master [[Nemo]] has called in a favour from saving Jerico's life on one occasion, while also sanctioning his lieutenant (and Jerico's enemy) [[Cheka]] to kill him. Other enemies include the insane [[Redemption Cult|Redemptionist]] [[Cardinal Crimson]] and escaped [[Pit Slave]] [[Vandal Feg]]. Most recently, Jerico has been summoned uphive a number of times to fulfil various missions for his family.
==History==
{{Spoiler|source=Kal Jerico (Graphic Novel Series)}}
Born the son of Necromunda's [[Planetary Governor]] [[Gerontius Helmawr]] and [[Heleana Jerico]] (which she later described as "just one of the many disagreeable things one has to do for the greater good of the Imperium"<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}), Kal left the luxury of the spire for the life of a bounty hunter in the [[Underhive]]. As well as hunting those with bounties on their heads, Jerico often has a bounty on his own due to his unorthodox methods, leading as often as not to trouble finding him. He resolves these situations using his trademark debonair swashbuckling style, relying on quick wits and his good luck more than brute strength. Most recently, Jerico has been summoned uphive a number of times to fulfil various missions for his family.
==Equipment==
Ambidextrous, Jerico wields two laser-sighted duelling [[laspistol]]s as his trademark and carries a trusty sabre. He also uses [[Photon grenade|photon flash flares]] and [[frag grenade]]s to escape from unpleasant situations.
