Thresher
(a.k.a. Angel of the Wastes)
Few, command the respect that the name Thresher does. Once belonging to the highwayman trade she did her part protecting those that couldn’t protect themselves. An expert in survival she relied on her expertise with a crossbow to stay alive. In the early days, she worked with The Shiver , a group of Highwayman loyal to each other. Since the disbanding of The Shiver, she has become jaded and guarded hiring herself out to the highest bidder keeping everyone around her at arm’s length. The woman’s propensity for violence rivals any in the Wastes. She kills first and asks questions later. She no longer has the time for sympathy or sentiment. However, she knows raw talent when she sees it and is willing to work with those that can hold their own.
