Background Information –
Jebidiah Williams, know by some as "Jeb" or "Bear Claw" has been trading furs and game meat with towns in the area for the past 10 years. He is known as "Bear Claw" because its said he can smell a bear from a mile away, hunt it down, and either growl at until it leaves the area or wrestle it into submission. Looking at him, you'd believe it, too. Standing over 6' with a busy black beard and hair too match, he has a quiet way about him that says "Don't mess with me."
If you know him though, you couldn't find a nicer guy. Sure he is rough around the edges when it comes to manners and such, but he's happy to share a drink and a tale or help out building a barn. His tales usually are about how great "Ellie" ("Slid 'ole Ellie here up over the saddle. Good thing Elk don't know how many legs a horse has!") is or how stupid his "Damn Mule" is. ("I oughta just put it down.") If you get enough drinks in him he will even start t show you scars. "Got this one from an onery grizzly..." He is slow to lose his temper on most things. But slight Ellie, Horse, Mule (yes even Damn Mule), the mountains, or a lady's honor and he will get to fightn'. Fights don't usually last too long as he has been known to drop a man with one punch. He has only been in one scrape where he had to pull his knife and take someones life (Jeb gets real serious and distant if you ask him about it) and has never shot a man.
As for where he comes from, nobody is exactly sure. Jeb says he is from here and there. Some say he is the illegitimate son of a whore and an outlaw that gained a bit of notoriety 30 some odd years ago. What is known is that at about age 15 a boy matching Jeb's description headed into the mountains (never expected to return) and 5 years later came back trading furs. Rumor has it he has a cabin somewhere up in the mountains where he keeps a bear around thats half tame.
Jeb has heard of Dusty and respects the man. Murder is serious business. "Well Marshal, you know as well as I do the fur trade ain't what it used to be. You need my help here in town for a stretch, you got it."
