In Scoundrel in the Thick, Red Elk is a foe who becomes a friend. He is vehoe, peace chief, of the nearly two hundred Cheyenne in his care in Scoundrel in the Thick. He had once been notxevoe, war chief, who led his warriors into battle against other Plains tribes and the US Army. He is a fan of good red wine, books about Genghis Kahn, and Mozart. This is how he dressed for ceremonial occasions.
How sharp is obsidian? Sharp enough.
Itzcoatal is an important character in Scoundrel in the Thick. He is descended from generations of Aztec warriors, and his weapon of choice is the Tecpatl, or obsidian dagger, which he puts to very good use.

A poke you will feel
Not for show.The sabers carried by US Army Cavalry officers, like this Ames Model 1860, weren't just for show. In the right hands they were a brutally dangerous and highly effective weapon. Just ask the dozen or so unfortunates in Scoundrel in the Thick who didn't jump back fast enough....
