NoName

Bought for 10g though will become worth so much more in the end. The reason he’s named the way he is boils down to one thing: my grandad’s love for the Dollars Trilogy of Westerns. I have fond memories of wandering around the fields walking his three dogs and hearing 'Hey Blondie!' so I wanted to recapture that in a fandragon. Original name Idnath, from TigerCat (who I swear helped me breed GLaDOS that one time or maybe 247).

APPEARANCES: A Fistful of Dollars For a Few Dollars More The Good, the Bad and the Ugly CREATED BY: Sergio Leone PORTRAYED BY: Clint Eastwood ALIASES (Books): The Stranger The Hunter The Bounty Killer Americano Mister Sudden Death Señor Ninguno Nameless No Name NICKNAMES: “Joe" (A Fistful of Dollars) "Manco" (For a Few Dollars More) "Blondie" (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly) OCCUPATION: Bounty Hunter NATIONALITY: American EXTRA INFO: An unidentified bounty hunter (best known by nicknames such as "Joe", "Manco", and "Blondie") was active as early as the Civil War and as late as the following decade. During his career, he retrieved gold buried in Sad Hill Cemetery, helped apprehend the outlaw El Indio, and brought peace to the town of San Miguel. The "Man with No Name" sobriquet was actually applied after the films were made, and was a marketing device used by distributor United Artists to promote the three films together in the United States film market. NICKNAME REASONS: - In A Fistful of Dollars - Joe (Potentially his real name, however only the undertaker Piripero refers to him as this; Clint Eastwood is also credited as "Joe" in the film's end credits) - In For a Few Dollars More - Manco (Spanish for "one-armed"; he is called this because he supposedly does everything left-handed in the film, except for shooting) - In The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - Blondie (only Tuco Ramírez refers to him as this, most likely due to his relatively fair complexion)

PERSONALITY:
The "Man With No Name", as personified by Clint Eastwood, embodies the archetypical characteristics of the American movie cowboy — toughness, exceptional physical strength or size, independence, and skill with a gun — but departed from the original archetype due to his moral ambiguity. Unlike the traditional movie cowboy, exemplified by actors John Wayne, Alan Ladd and Randolph Scott, the Man with No Name will fight dirty and shoot first, if required by his own self-defined sense of justice. Although he tends to look for ways to benefit himself; he has, in a few cases, aided others if he feels an obligation to; such as freeing Marisol's captive family from the Rojos in A Fistful of Dollars, giving his own pistol to Douglas Mortimer to allow him to get his revenge on El Indio in For a Few Dollars More, and comforting the dying soldier he encounters after the bridge explosion in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

He is generally portrayed as an outsider, a mercenary or bounty hunter, or even an outlaw. He is characteristically soft-spoken and laconic. The character is an oft-cited example of an anti-hero, although he has a soft spot for people in deep trouble. While rescuing Marisol in A Fistful of Dollars, he responds to query about his motives with a curt "I knew somebody like you, once... and there was no one to help." This, along with the comment "I never found home that great" and stating that he hails from Illinois (in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly), sums up the only personal history the viewer ever receives about the character.
