Made a little something for Grave/Digger since i am quite fond of it:

Talon “Cavalry” Revolver
“When soldiers started making their way from the surface to the underground, it’s no suprise most of them had their previously issued sidearms in their person as they descended into the caves, with one of such cases being Captain Joseph J. Walker, an infamous cavalry trooper.

Known for his time fighting natives in north america sometime in the 1890’s, early on in his career he carried a pair of the heavy, blackpowder saddle pistols that shared his last name, although he later switched them for a pair of Colt’s Single Action revolvers, fitting one of them with a custom made “wire frame” shoulder stock, using the latter as a somewhat makeshift carbine for a better shot when he was riding on horseback.

As horses quickly perished in the underground due to the cave plague, he was instead asigned to a group of Officer scouts, since he was after all already familiar with skirmisher shock tactics from his time fighting natives.

He quickly found success with his makeshift carbine down under the earth, as he could cock the action faster than any bolt action or semi-auto the Solace had to offer, quickly building up a reputation for himself once again, turning into a legend among the caves.

Ultimately, his demise came in the form of a suprise ambush to a Nation stronghold by the Golden Empire, where he and about a dozen or so of his veteran soldiers stood their ground for as long as they possibly could with what little ammo they had.

When his body has eventually found hours after the assault, Morticians stated his body was almost torn in half by machine gun fire, stating that:
– “It was a grim reminder of how the new always ends up flushing out the old.”
His hat was hung up in a corner of his bed, most likely placing it there knowing he would not live to wear it again, his bloodied hand still clutching the stocked revolver.

As to what happened with the sidearms? What we know is that the stocked pistol was taken back to Solace territory, where it was taken apart and reversed engineered to start mass production of the notorious shoulder stocks, able to be privately bought by soldiers of both sides who wanted to employ his same methods of combat.

However, the fate of the other pistol is more ambiguous, with stories saying that it was sent back home to what little family he had remaining, ultimately ending with the revolver being burried with him, still placed in his grasp like it had been for so many years before.”

Artist’s sketch of Captain Joseph “Jack” Walker, the picture was found in his pocket by Morticians when performing a post mortem autopsy, with the picture damaged by a 9x19mm bullet hole, an attempt to salvage the picture was roughly made by ripping off the burnt parts, ultimately ending with the Captain’s face being lost.
