Ellis a vu le voleur sortir du magasin de l'autre côté du chemin. Il a mis la boîte à cigares dans son manteau et a dessiné son vieux revolver de l'armée. Il a marché autour de son client potentiel et a pris un objectif prudent sur l'homme de course. Il a pressé la gâchette six fois, en envoyant un tas de plomb chaud à Horace. Pour Ellis, c'était tout comme le fait de lier ses chaussures, le regard sur son visage n'a pas changé. Puis il a entendu des coups de feu derrière lui dans le bar, et il a pensé à d'autres coups de feu ailleurs en ville. De toute évidence, le vol n'était pas un incident isolé. Ellis cracha son cigare frais et se détourna de sa cible, marchant vers l'une des fenêtres du saloon. Il s'accroupit et regarda à travers le verre brisé et vit le shérif blessé. Il s'est assis avec le dos au mur et a rechargé son six-shooter. Puis il s'est levé juste assez pour regarder sa tête au-dessus du mur. En gardant ses mains sur le rebord des fenêtres, il a pris pour cible plusieurs des criminels qu'il pouvait voir. Il a serré deux tours puis s'est arrêté pour évaluer la situation. Il s'en est pris à un autre et a tiré deux autres balles.

Personality - Ellis Braddock likes to smoke cigars and drink whiskey. He keeps his emotions to himself and expects the same of others. He is stubborn and prideful, and doesn't tolerate insolence or rudeness. He likes wilderness and towns equally. To most people he seems stiff and humorless.
Ellis believes in suffrage for black men if not equal rights. This is largely because he wants to think that something good came from the war. He is, however, racist against Indians due to his time fighting them and the cultural differences. He is a Christian, but doesn't talk much about religion or go to church enough. He is a moderate Republican, and bears a strong grudge against the South and Democrats because of the war. He enjoys a good political debate, but few enjoy debating with him. He suffers from post-traumatic-stress disorder due to the many battles he has fought in.
Backstory - Ellis Braddock was raised on a farm in Ohio. In 1861, at the age of 22, he volunteered to serve in the Union Army in the Civil War. He served in many engagements, including the Battle of Chickamauga. At Chickamauga he served under General Thomas who held out a stubborn rearguard defense of Snodgrass Hill. After the war he remained in the army, serving in the Indian Wars. In 1874, he retired from the military and moved out west. He has bounced from town to town as a travelling tobacco salesman, as well as occasionally a hired gun. He has made a decent amount of wealth, but still travels constantly to keep his mind off of his bloody past. He has owned his horse for three years, and named it Snodgrass after the hill where he fought at Chickamauga.
