Origin[]

The Gaucho was the son of a wealthy Argentine landowner, who traveled to Montana with his friend, Sanchez "The best shot in all Argentina", to learn the north american methods to raise cattle. After stopping a band of wranglers, he and Sanchez settle in the Bar-CMO-Ranch, owner by the pretty Lois Young, helping her solve problems that may arise with criminals, extortionists, wranglers and thieves. Lois and The Gaucho also seem to develop a romantic relation of sorts.

Powers and Abilities[]

The Gaucho was no mere average shot with a gun, but an absolute master with a whip, as he prefered to use his whip than a gun, he could make someone drop his gun, or split a smoking pipe in two from someone's mouth with it. Also he could make someone trip and fall down, and could open a door from afar with his whip. As a rancher, he also knew how to ride a horse extremely well. Being from Argentina, he would speak English with a heavy hispanic accent, as Spanish is his first language.
