Background

Colters Hardware Emporium is owned and run by two sisters, Jesse and Maybelle Colter. The girls lost their parents early on in life and in order to survive out in the Frontier they joined one of the gangs based out in the hills. Jesse took to it quickly and became an expert marksman, but although Maybelle earned her keep it was clear she never really wanted to be part of the life.

Jesse could see this and, wanting the best for her sister, found them a way out. They broke from the gang, got a loan from a travelling businessman and opened their own store in town. Business went well and their small shop quickly grew into the ‘Colters Hardware Emporium’ – stockers of all fine goods and arms. Jesse runs the Gunsmith and Maybelle the General Store next door. At least that is what Maybelle believes.

In reality, Jesse made a deal with the gang leader. In return for allowing the girls to leave and giving them enough money to start their new life, Jesse supplies quality arms and information to the gang from within the town. In particular she passes on information of wealthy travellers or adventurers who are passing through and might not be missed.
