Line 76:
Mountain Tim hails from Wyoming.<ref name=":0">{{Ch|SBR Chapter 1}}, p41</ref> In 1875 when Mountain Tim was 16, the young man was already part of the army. Tim's unit was assigned to venture out into the uncharted areas of the Arizona desert. The area turned out to be the [[Devil's Palm]], and his unit became lost while wandering through it. Unable to find water, the horses died, with the soldiers dying soon after. Tim was also nearly fried to death - but woke suddenly in the middle of the night to discover that a tiny bit of dew had collected on his rope and his body, having merged with the rope, was absorbing the water on its own. He was the only survivor.
 
In the following years, Tim began working as a cowboy and bounty hunter. As a cowboy, he annually travelled 4,000&nbsp;km through the pastures with 3,000 cattle.<ref name=":0" /> As a bounty hunter, he's hunted wanted man from northern Montana to southern Texas, become renowned in his line of work and trusted by the authorities.<ref name="SBRC13p7" /> His skill and sense of justice made him actually famous in the country.
 
===Steel Ball Run===

==== Pursuing a Murderer ====
[[File:tim investigates.png|thumb|left|Mountain Tim investigates a mysterious murder]]
After ranking 4th in the first stage of the race, he is called in to help with the investigation of a gruesome murder which took place along the race's course. Three participants have been mysteriously disemboweled. Arriving on the scene, Tim looks at the horseshoe prints and notices that one horse with a distinctive triangular dent at the center of its horseshoe had briefly gone out of control near the corpses, meaning its rider was the killer. He also retrieves a button from a victim's jeans that mysteriously come off, hinting at the method of the killer. The sheriff deputizes Tim, requesting that he pursue all potential suspects and believing that Tim himself will be targeted by the culprit as one of the race forerunners. Tim secretly abandons the race to focus on finding the murderer.
Line 88:
Incidentally, Mountain Tim meets [[Lucy Steel]] near the crime scene. Charmed by her, Tim offers her a bouquet of wild flowers he takes nearby.
 
Once the second stage starts, Tim follows the distinctive horseshoe prints found at the murder. Stumbling upon [[Mrs. Robinson]]'s horse, he briefly checks it and confirms RobinsoRobinson isn't the culprit but that the murderer has passed recently on the route that [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] are taking. He eventually confronts a rider who seems to be Johnny Joestar. Johnny (in reality [[Benjamin Boomboom]] disguised as Johnny) throws his horseshoe at Tim, splashing him with a bit of blood and flees in a massive brier patch, but Tim easily lassos him around the neck - making use of [[Oh! Lonesome Me]] to prevent "Johnny" from cutting the rope. "Johnny" still manages to do so, however, and flees on his horse while reverting his face to normal. Tim, now believing Johnny to be the killer, begins his hunt for the real Johnny - not aware that now he, Johnny and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] have all been affected by the Boombooms' ability and will explode upon getting too close to each other, due to the magnetic pull.

In Kansas City, Mountain Tim is called by [[Lucy Steel]] who is cornered in a government building. He rushes to her side and sneaks through the vents, using his power on Lucy to enable her to disassembedisassemble along his rope and sneak out of the building.

He is disappointed when she apologizes for having potentially led him on and reaffirms her loyalty to [[Steven Steel]]. Tim still advises her to seek out [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] if she gets into trouble. After he and Lucy Steel go their separate ways, Tim is confronted by [[Blackmore]], who had traced the call from the government building to him. Tim draws his gun and hits Blackmore in the chest once. Blackmore merges with the rain and evades the attack and Tim disassembles himself to bind and shoot Blackmore in the head. But, Blackmore yanks the rope, pulling Tim in the trajectory ifof the immobilized rain drops that cut open his head. On the ground, Tim is compelled onone last time to reveal who was the caller but Tim only says he never expected to die quietly and only wished for a place to return to. Mountain Tim is subsequently shot in the head by Blackmore.
