The Bad Hand are a gang of train robbers that operate outside of Never, New Mexico. Controlled by a mysterious figure by the name of Deacon Black. Their rules are simple. Obey Deacon, keep the Buffalo Heart gambling house running smooth and clean, no criminal activity within the town limits, and the gang always gets a cut, no matter what their side hustle might be.

Loyalty is everything, and disloyalty, even in small amounts, is severely, ruthlessly punished.

Their headquarters, the Buffalo Heart in the sketchier part of Never called Mystic, is run by the former, presumed dead bandit outlaw Cathal under his new surname Keary. As Deacon’s right hand man, he’s the one most of the boys deal with day-to-day, and the one that usually hands out Deacon’s orders to those that Deacon doesn’t care to handle himself.
