Background/Description
You found Mr. Stuthman in Dodge City, shortly after the closing of his business - simply named "The Undertaker." It seems there was a bit of a scandal when one of Mr. Stuthman's 'clients' returned to life while he was working on them (it happens, most people get over it - Stuthman did not). He took such a fright, that after putting his scalpel through Mrs. Lowry's skull, he proceeded to put bullets into every body in his workshop. Rumour has it that he interrupted a funeral to ensure the deceased stayed in his coffin. But surely that was an exaggeration.
A rail-thin man, Mr. Stuthman always smells faintly of chemicals and death. In fact, he looks more and more like his former 'clients' - with his pale, slightly yellowed skin; thinning salt-and-pepper hair; and dark, sunken eyes.
Stuthman has a peculiar speech pattern that could best be described as hesitant, if not quite a stutter. Occasionally, that catch in his speech breaks off into wracking, wheezing coughs - of the kind that have people looking at him sideways and thinking "that can't possibly be good."
That hesitation in his speech is a characteristic that carries over into other situations too, as if he wants to be exact in his actions, but is never quite sure what will happen when he is - the exception to this is in his work. Grisly as it is, Mr. Stuthman is confident and sure around a corpse - once he's assured himself that it's dead, at least. He always makes sure a final round is placed in someone's skull, as if he's convinced that anyone and everyone will rise again.
Time on the trail with Mr. Stuthman (you never did catch a first name - he introduced himself as "<i>Mr.</i> Stuthman") is equally unsettling. He's twitchy, and his hand is never far from his rifle, and he compulsively sips at water every few minutes. His nights are broken by sobs, anxious shudders, and the occasional scream.
He has proven to be a useful companion, however - the man is a font of knowledge and a reasonable shot with that rifle. Occasionally, he conjures something that can only be described as miraculous, though you get the impression that even he's surprised when it happens. Although Stuthman sees the Harrowed as an abomination, you're never quite sure if that means "unto God" or "Nature" or whatever else - certainly he's no Bible-thumper, but a certain amount of religiosity goes along with undertaking.
