Thadeus McGraw
The muscled frame under the faded trench coat, the dark hat pulled over steely eyes, the long brown ponytail, and the closely cropped beard hiding scars across his face all tell the same story: Thadeus McGraw is a man built for violence and comfortable in it. He is a Road Crew enforcer for the Savage Angels in Savage Anna, and his reputation for ruthless intimidation tactics when collecting payment for musicians precedes him by several city blocks.
McGraw operates as an elite bodyguard for performers, spotting trouble before it escalates and eliminating it with a hidden knife that appears faster than most people can register. He may look unarmed at a glance, but the weapon comes out with practiced speed, and the scars under the beard document every confrontation that required its use.
The hidden detail, known to a few and believed by fewer, is that McGraw can sing. His voice is said to carry real talent, the kind that would earn him a place on any stage in Savage Anna. He refuses to perform. He views himself as a protector rather than a performer, and the distinction matters to him enough that the talent stays buried under the trench coat alongside the knife.
