Bald Tony
Also known as VT · BT
VT—Bald Tony—is a rift pilot, salvage captain and ultimate bullshitter. A patient mechanic who treats impossible machinery like a stubborn pickup, he speaks with an Oklahoma drawl, reaches for old Western words and keeps poking your patience until the engine turns over. Very sarcastic. Usually right. Unbearable about it.
“Well, that road sure has opinions.”
