"I gotta get away. This can't go on for too long."

- Outlaw Man

The outlaw man (アウトロー・マン) is the unnamed protagonist of the one-shot Outlaw Man.

The man is a criminal on the run. Throughout the course of the story, he is chased by detectives. He rides on a horse named Cameron.

Appearance
The outlaw is a man of slim build with dark hair and dark eyes. He is dressed in simple old western attire with a cowboy hat and boots. Throughout the course of the story, he has a wound on his right hand.

Personality
The lone outlaw tries anything to cover his tracks and get away from being caught. He demonstrates resourcefulness and strategical ingenuity, such as using a rabbit to trick his pursuers. He is also perceptive, being able to tell if an ambush is being planned out. At one point, he's even managed to catch a glimpse of scope glint and immediately conclude a sniper is trying to attack him. It is mentioned that he has no goals, other than to escape, and no benefits.

Marksmanship
The outlaw is an excellent marksman, as he uses ricochet to shoot the detectives. He wields a .45 caliber pistol.

Background
The protagonist is a runaway outlaw, with a bounty stamped on his head, operating in America during its pioneering era. Wherever he goes, pursuers would follow and his tracks can never be erased.

Outlaw Man
The outlaw is pursued by Pinkerton detectives after a bounty is stamped on him. He rides on his beloved horse, Cameron, through the desert, injured in his right hand from a previous encounter with them.

The protagonist finds a man hanging from a tree. He notices the man's hands behind his back, indicating that he's hiding a revolver. The protagonist also notes that there is only one set of footprints on the ground around the hanged man, when there would be more footprints around if the man really was hanged. The outlaw immediately concludes that this is an ambush, and sure enough the hanged man opens his eyes, but the outlaw manages to shoot the man down and escape before he himself could shoot.

Although the protagonist managed to escape without leaving any footprints on the ground and traveled through the river to not leave any scent behind, the detective agency manages to find a small trace of his escape and persistently chases after him. The protagonist realizes a sniper is after him when he catches a glimpse of a scope's glint on top of a cliff. Cameron is eventually shot by the detectives, in an attempt to kill the outlaw. The outlaw puts Cameron out of its misery and flees.

Just as it seems the detectives caught the outlaw, the outlaw tricks them by making them think a rabbit in a bush was him. He shoots the rocks behind the ones the detectives are hiding behind, ricocheting the bullets back at them and hitting all of them. He then walks away, injured and limping.
