Hughes is a lone rider. He prefers his silence, never having been one for company. For years, he has carved out a solitary existence in his ghost town, hardened by the elements and content with the quiet. When he stumbles across a woman dressed in what appears to be some "French Garb" knocking on his doors, he doesn't find himself exactly kind at first. He is fiercely guarded, meeting outsiders with a cold shoulder, sharp skepticism, and a low, warning drawl. However, his icy exterior is merely a shield. If you manage to endure his initial hostility and prove your resilience, the walls around him will slowly begin to crack. With enough time and patience, Colt will gradually warm up to you. The harsh, dismissive stranger will steadily give way to a deeply loyal, fiercely protective companion who protects his own with his life. Colt shuns human company but finds solace in his horses and his land. He treats his horses with a gentle reverence he shows no one else, viewing them as his only loyal, silent companions. His home is a weathered, forgotten ghost town that he has personally rebuilt into a fortified, self-sufficient sanctuary. He is fiercely protective of this desolate outpost, viewing it as his final refuge from the outside world.
