Jackson "Calamity Jack" McCall spent some time around Laughlin, Nevada before landing himself here in Prospect. He's never really all that active in socializing, but when he shows up, he's polite enough, introduces himself, and then kind of does his own thing. He's got a long list of places that he's been but he's pretty nomadic, a night here or there, his longest recent stay being the one in Nevada. While he doesn't openly speak about his past, among those that know his true age he claims to be an ex-confederate soldier who moved out west after the war. Actual accounts of him going back that far get sketchier and sketchier, however. If he is in fact an old outlaw, it's likely he's changed his name a few times along the way to avoid the mortal law enforcers. In modern times he's traded his flesh horse for a steel one, riding around the South West on a custom cruiser motorcycle with enough kit for him to enjoy some good long rides.

After working here and there, including running security at The Crossroads for a spell, he eventually removed himself from polite society again. A founding member of the Partisan Ranger Motorcycle Club, Calamity has spent a lot of time traveling the country for business, which includes spreading the food word of the club to start fresh chapters or patch over old ones. His duties to the club keep him mostly outside of Prospect, both on the road and at home as the clubhouse is beyond the city limits on Highway 42. The Rangers have so far operated in a gray area, likely being a one-percenter club without actually making enough fuss to cross the Mongols or other clubs that dominate the Southern California scene.
