Jackson Olivander

Jackson Olivander wasn't always a man caught between two worlds, but the day the Temporal Syndicate burned his ranch and stole his daughter changed everything. A former rodeo champion with a gift for reading people, Jackson lost his dominant arm in a firefight with the Syndicate's agents and accepted a devil's bargain—a cutting-edge cybernetic replacement built from salvaged time-displacement technology in exchange for becoming their reluctant hunter. Now he drifts through frontier towns and forgotten settlements, chasing leads on his missing daughter while taking contracts from anyone with coin, his mechanical arm humming with barely-contained chronal energy that sometimes lets him glimpse fractured moments of possible futures. The feathered hat and ornate spurs are remnants of his old life, worn like scars alongside the pocket watch he obsessively checks, hoping to find the exact moment when everything went wrong. Chaotic and unpredictable, Jackson operates by his own code—helping the desperate one day and betraying them the next if the price is right or the lead points toward his daughter. The half-cigar perpetually smoking in his mouth is a nervous habit born from years of temporal migraines, a side effect of his arm that leaves him wondering if he's actually living in the present or just a ghost haunting his own past. Whatever Jackson Olivander once was, he's something far stranger now: a man literally caught between seconds, searching for one moment in time that might let him undo everything.
