Mob Thug (Basic)

About this Figure

Mob Thug is not the guy making the decisions. He is the one who gets the call after the decision has already been made. He is not interested in the details, and he doesn't ask questions because questions have a way of making simple jobs complicated. He knows what the job is, who gave the order, and how far he is supposed to take it. Most of the time, showing up is enough, but when it is not, that is usually when things get messy. He has been around long enough to know that looking tough and being tough are two different things. More often than not, his reputation does most of the work for him. A quiet word, a long stare, or simply being in the right place at the right time can be enough to get the point across. Mob Thug knows his role and plays it well. He is the muscle just off to the side, the familiar face at the back of the room, and the last person you want knocking on your door after dark. He may not be calling the shots, but when Mob Thug shows up, somebody usually knows why. Mob Thug may not be calling the shots, but every collection needs someone willing to do the dirty work.
