Mako

Mako is the leader of a group of bandits and the main antagonist of the pilot episode.

Appearance
Keeping with the cryptid and otherwise mythological/folkloric theme that most of the denizens of Long Gone Gulch have, Mako is quite literally a land shark. He has sharp yellow teeth, has a big scar under his left eye that extends past his jaw and has a short black mustache. His outfit consists of white gloves and a primarily black outfit consisting of a hat, boots and a coat.

Personality
Mako is, first and foremost, a rather silly, albeit still dangerous, villain. On one hand, Mako is, more often than not, inclined to not take his enemies seriously enough to not make sassy remarks about them or to tell jokes at their expense. He even does, and makes his enemies do, very ridiculous things, such as forcing Snag to play the spoons after Mako took over the mayor’s office. On the other hand, Mako is no stranger to bloodlust and is a legitimate threat to everyone around him. An opportunist, he quickly takes control of a situation when his enemies make a mistake, like when Snag and Rawhide lost their status as sheriffs and got replaced by someone not qualified for the job resulting in the escape of him and his fellow bandits. On the sillier end of the villain spectrum is his bizarre fixation on his birthday, though this seems more like it was born from Rawhide and Snag ruining his initial birthday celebration than anything else. However, on the more serious side of things, Mako likes joking about and referencing Rawhide’s father in an insensitive and cruel way, suggesting he either had a run-in with him or simply heard of him.

Equipment

 * Harpoon Gun: Mako’s main weapon is a harpoon gun. He uses it in much the same way a hunter would use a rifle.
