I'm think El Mariachi/desperado (And the new movie in the vague series, 
Once Upon a Time in Mexico, comes out soon) could be good inspiration 
for this guy. Tweak the backgrounds a bit if he's interested, perhaps, 
but make sure the non-Arcane Backgrounders don't feel ignored when 
compared to the spell-slingers.

Taking down Grimme's a good goal for a campaign, I think... Hard to do, 
but... Make sure you pick up Lost Angels in any form possible. This 
posse would have an 'interesting' time once the special effects around 
Lost Angels kick in...
