Elmer McCurdy

Inept outlaw killed in botched train robbery, mummified, and traded from sideshow to sideshow. This ain't him but if it were, it'd cost you two bits.

Hilarius

Not Pope Hilarius, nor either of the Saints Hilarius. Not even the poet Hilarius, but Hilarius the burlesque simpleton.

Thomas P. Squibins, former clown

The humor was gone from the thing, so Squibins hung up his oversized shoes and took up torch singing.

Hermes

The harlots and thieves were in need of someone who could look after them. Hermes was their man. The shepherds and drifters, the actors and grifters - they were in need as well. Most all of them were on their way to someplace else, so couldn't be waylaid for long, but they all wanted something.. absolution, extra umph, a witness..

Hermes was on top of it. After all, he was Messenger of the Gods. Wings on his heels, the whole nine yards. Those came in handy early on, rustling cattle owned by his bother, Apollo. The Gods overlooked transgressions like that back then. Fact is, they needed fleet feet. They also needed someone who couldn't abide boundaries, as he'd have to pass in and out of the underworld.

Hermes fit the bill all around for gods and gypsies alike.

2009 DD45

A rock three school buses across came within a couple satellite orbits of our world today. Might've wiped us out, but it looked down and saw we were already about wiped out, so it kept on going.
