Bandito

loyal aggressive boisterous opportunistic brutal
Bandito is Eli Hollander's loyal enforcer in the holodeck's Wild West saloon setting. This sombrero-wearing Mexican bandito archetype backs Eli with crude loyalty and opportunistic aggression, laughing at his boss's jokes before shifting to violence. He ambushes stronger opponents from behind with improvised weapons and holds targets at gunpoint on command, yet is overmatched by skilled fighters. His actions—quick draw, physical assaults, and barroom bravado—fit seamlessly into the simulation's rowdy criminal underbelly.
