Name : Tim Rutherford
AKA: The Cowboy
Age: 32
Height : 5’ 7”
Weight: 170 lbs



General appearance: Shoulder length dark brown hair with a dusting of gray; Behind a pair of black Porsche Carreara aviator style sunglasses deep brown eyes with specks of gray; a light rope burn scar, barely visible, around his neck. A black leather jacket, black trousers, a Kevlar bullet proof vest under a black T-Shirt and black boots. Twin black leather shoulder holsters with a Smith and Wesson 40 caliber, 16 shot automatic pistol in each. He has a sawed off 12 gauge pump shotgun.

Modes of transportation: A black 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback with racing suspension, custom built ten cylinder racing engine, five speed transmission and an additional twenty gallon fuel tank under the rear deck, where the fold down rear seat should be. A GPS navigation system, police radio and an emergency ban scanner. The car is wired to explode, when the alarm is set, if it is started.

Second mode of transportation: A custom Black Harley Davidson Sportster Motorcycle with a modified 1800 cc police engine and black leather saddle bags. Wired with a self destruct charge to prevent theft. In the two black leather saddle bags: a case of C-4, blasting caps, spare ammunition for the shotgun and spare loaded clips for the automatic weapons. He wears a black leather range long coat with the shotgun in a scabbard across his back when riding it.
Both garaged in a secret storage and multi-media communications and crime lab facility concealed under a hay barn on the family ranch.


History: After the enactment of the "Riggs Act", Tim returned to Teaxas and became a member of the Dallas, Texas S.W.A.T. team, until he broke his leg in an assault. He then transferred to undercover as a police detective, until his wife, Abby, and son, Samuel, were murdered in a drive by shooting at their home in Dallas. After their death he took an extended leave of absence from the Dallas Police Department and moved back to his hometown of Arnette to the small family ranch, with his Chocolate Lab Kodiak, where he scratches out a living raising cattle and horses.

Personality: Tim is a quiet man, perhaps the quietest man in Arnette, Texas. When he speaks it's because he has something worth saying. He's honest and does the right thing, although sometimes the right thing is only the lesser of two evils. The boys back home called him "Old Time Tough," and it's an apt description.

If there was one word to describe Tim it would be ‘practical’ because he sees the world as it is. Things need to be done. It’s not that he doesn’t have feelings, but there’s a time and place for dealing with pain, and it sure as hell ain’t in the moment. Tim’s always been the kind of man you could call on to help you move, to take a look at your truck, to bring a six pack and call it a night while just shooting the shit and watching the bug zapper on the back porch. The simple things are the best, and Tim would prefer to do an honest day’s work for an honest wage and come home to his wife and kids. That’s just not what’s going to happen for him, though, and he knows it. Not after that terrible night in Dallas, when he heard the call on his unmarked police car radio.
He is rarely fazed by anything out of the ordinary anymore. In fact, he’s more likely to be shocked and pleased by the sight of a dog than he is to be upset by dead people, nuclear explosions, or prophetic dreams. Whatever comes his way, he deals with it at the time. There’s little use in worrying about the future, and even less use dwelling on the past (although it does creep up on him from time to time. Thoughts of his wife and son haunt him and so many of his friends who died. Tim is outwardly laid back, dealing with stressful situations with ease.
He's a gentleman, tough to get a rise out of. He rarely shows anger and when it is exhibited, it is with quiet danger. He's not loud or belligerent. If someone needs an ass whooping they get it, and that's that. Tim doesn't hold a grudge; he simply balances the score. He laughs easily and is a gentleman to women and patient with children. He has a bit of a limp from when he broke his leg, and it aches when the weather changes. Tim is also prone to prophetic dreams, and has the ability to alter time, for a few minutes at a time.
