'Bart'

An ex-boxer and Thompson's maternal Uncle, Bart Elder is the muscle - an old school criminal that's the real driving force behind Thompson's plans, and the one who gets them done. He went through a few incarnations (he's the bearded one in the earlier sketches and drawings), and may go through more, but right now I'm happy with this version of him. In no small part because he now looks a bit like a meaner, moustachioed version of my Papa.
