Appearance Butch is a tall and muscular man who appears to be in his mid to late twenties. He has medium brown hair with sideburns, tan skin and freckles, a chiseled jawline, and a brilliant smile. His hair is slicked back and worn loose. In the episode "Now That's What I Call R-Rated, Baby," he is shown to have a lot of body hair and appears to have many scars, although these are poorly visualized supposedly due to the creators expending all their budget on the R-rated scenes and leaving no money to animate the rest of the episode. In the episode "The Best Kind of Ambush, Baby," his scars are better visualized when Rebeka is doing repairs on Butch's body. They appear to follow along wherever Rebeka sutured Butch's skin closed. In his initial appearance, both of his eyes were hazel. It was shown in the episode "Country Boys Make Do, Baby" that Butch's left eye is mechanical when George Giovanna and Jessie James, a pair of Big Daddy's goons, get into an underwater brawl with Butch and damage the left side of his face. In the episode "The Battlefield of Love is Lawless, Baby," Randy Lawless, Butch's mortal enemy, stabs him in his right eye, and when Butch is shown again in the episode "Spaghetti is Best Served Cold, Baby," this eye has been replaced with a mechanical one and is now gold. Butch sports a dusty and torn leather coat, striped red collared shirt, a bright red bandana, and dark leather gloves and belt with gold buckle. He has two gun holsters at his hips and extra ammo as well. He wears dark jeans and washed out denim chaps with desert roses on them. His boots are dark leather, and the spurs jingle when he walks. He is often depicted wearing sunglasses. He is typically seen with a cigar in his mouth. Personality Butch is a stereotypical cowboy—rugged and tough, unfazed in the face of danger, and hardy, he's the epitome of masculinity. As shown in the episode "We're Riding Bareback, Baby" he's courageous and willing to jump into dangerous situations without a second thought. He doesn't give up easily, even when the odds seem stacked against him. Unlike the protagonists of American Westerns, Butch is more reminiscent of the cowboys in Spaghetti Westerns, which are a subgenre of traditional Westerns that portray heroes that are more brutal and cynical than their American counterparts. Butch is merciless, as shown in the episode "The Sun Always Sets in the West, Baby" when he pulls out Delle Star's teeth one by one until Delle confesses to the location of Papa Co.'s next weapons drop-off. He is jaded and sarcastic, often making comments about how the world is cruel and that he merely contributes to this cruelty. In the episode "Don't Use Tumbleweeds For TP, Baby" Butch laughs when Billy the Quid shoots himself in the foot, showing that he is amused by his enemy's misery. Although he's never been particularly trusting, Butch apparently used to be more receptive to others, as stated by his old flame Tina Lovely in "The Battlefield of Love is Lawless, Baby." Butch tells her to ask Big Daddy about it when they see each other in Hell. It is later explained by the Narrator that because of Big Daddy's extensive network of associates all over the universe, what once were friends and colleagues have now become enemies, and so Butch is a lone wolf, save for Rebeka. As stated by Butch in "Country Boys Make Do, Baby," all the physical changes Rebeka made to his body make him functionally immortal. He doesn't age or get sick, and he's seen many of his old friends, family, and lovers die, sometimes at his own hands. He claims he has no feelings about this, but he appears conflicted when he tells Rebeka in "Spaghetti is Best Served Cold, Baby" he makes a habit of never getting attached to anyone so that it hurts less when they inevitably die or betray him. The Narrator introduces Butch in "Now That's What I Call R-Rated, Baby" as being known universe-wide for two things: the fastest gunslinging one will ever lay their eyes on, and his romantic conquests. In Butch's debut episode, Rebeka questions Butch on why he is toying with Dandy when he usually kills his bounty more quickly, and Butch responds, "Listen here, Girlie, once I've set my eyes on someone, I have to have them." It is commonplace for many of Butch's episodes to start with him in bed with someone, and many of his misfortunes are due to sleeping with the wrong person. Story Much of Butch's backstory was depicted in the flashback episode, "W Is For Wild, Baby."It starts off showing Butch as a young man when he was just starting out in his career. Early on, Butch started giving in to vice. Drunk off his power and status, Butch indulged in alcohol and drugs, gambling, and sex, lots of it. He should've been careful about whose pie he dipped his fingers in, but he couldn't help it, not when all those men, women, and in-betweens easily fell into his lap. Well, eventually he ended up in the wrong bed, and he paid for it dearly. It was business as usual. Big Daddy, Butch's employer, mentor, and longtime friend, sent him on a job. It was supposed to be quick and easy, but what Butch didn't know was that Big Daddy sent him running after a ghost. The target didn't exist. When Butch walked into that abandoned saloon, he was attacked and beaten within an inch of his life, and left for dead. The perpetrators spat on him, saying, "Big Daddy says hello." Big Daddy set him up. See, Butch had been laying with Big Daddy's wife, Sweet Mama. What Butch wasn't aware of was Sweet Mama went and got herself pregnant, and when she gave birth, Big Daddy knew right away that wasn't his kid. Sweet Mama lied about the circumstances, claiming Butch forced himself on her, and that's when Big Daddy put out the hit. As Butch floated out of consciousness, a shadowy figure crowded his vision. And then he awoke in the worst pain of his life. He looked down to see his chest cavity wide open, screamed, and blacked out again. Every time he woke up, he woke up to new horrors. The last time he woke up, he saw a little girl standing there. Something wasn't right. She didn't have a single expression on her face, and when she spoke, it was emotionless and robotic. Her name was Rebeka, and she was a robot built over a century ago. Her creator, Dr. Henry Wolf, had passed away decades ago, leaving her alone. When she saw Butch bleeding on the floor, initially she considered harvesting his organs for money, but apparently as he lost consciousness, he'd said to her, "Just a tumbleweed in the wind." She was moved by it. Dr. Wolf said something very similar when he died, "We're all just dust in the wind, don't forget that, Rebeka." So she set out to save Butch. He wouldn't have sold for very much since she had to replace many of his organs anyways, because they were so severely damaged that there was no way to salvage them, and many of his bones were shattered to pieces. His face and small parts of his brain were remade from scratch. When Rebeka was done, over half of Butch's body was mechanical. It took over a decade for Butch to regain control of his body. When he did, he set out to take revenge on Big Daddy and Sweet Mama for what they'd done. For the next decade and a half, Butch made a habit of ruining Big Daddy's business, destroying factories, messing up galactic trade. And then, a wanted poster showed up, plastering Butch's face all over the universe. Relationships Big Daddy Donec maximus tincidunt purus, id luctus ante tincidunt id. Vivamus vitae molestie libero.

Rebeka In the episode "W Is For Wild, Baby" it is shown in a flashback that Rebeka found Butch and, reasoning that she couldn't harvest his organs for cash due to extensive damage, opted to save him after he said something that reminded her of her creator. She spent the next few weeks very carefully replacing bones in his face, arms, and chest, and organs such as his left eye, both of his lungs, spleen and left kidney, much of his intestines, and parts of his brain, and installed iron-plating bones in his legs. After that, they spent around a decade together as Butch learned to gain control of his body. It can be assumed Rebeka fulfilled Butch's role as bounty hunter until he was back in commission, as she knows how to shoot, where to find the Pest Control Tubes, and acquire assignments from their network on introduction in "Now That's What I Call R-Rated, Baby,"however it is confirmed in the Rebeka-centric flashback episode "We're Just Dust in the Wind, Baby" that Butch is the one who taught her all this. Billy the Quid Instead of killing Butch's bastard, it was explained by Billy the Quid (pronounced "Kid") in "A Kid With No Daddy, Baby" that Sweet Mama was overtaken by her motherly instincts and protected the boy from Big Daddy's anger. However, he grew up believing that Butch Kassidy had taken advantage of his mother and resented the circumstances of his birth, as well as himself. Despite never being able to get Big Daddy's approval, Billy tried nonetheless. When he found out Butch Kassidy was still alive, he swore he would kill the Sheriff and rake in the bounty. That day, Billy declared himself Butch Kassidy's arch nemesis, and so every time they meet, it's a showdown to the death. Well, sort of. Butch cannot bring himself to kill his offspring, so he opts for non-lethal means of getting Billy off his back. Meanwhile, Billy shoots to kill, or tries to, anyways, but he sucks as a gunslinger. Turns out Billy was right about one thing: blood don't mean much. In "Two is a Lonelier Number Than One, Baby" Rebeka asks Butch why he doesn't tell Billy the truth. Butch thinks that it wouldn't make a difference if Billy knew because he's determined to get Big Daddy's approval. Although he says he doesn't care either way, he sadly states that Billy reminds him of himself when he was that age, as he also fought hard for Big Daddy's approval. Rebeka asks him if he ever got it, but she doesn't receive an answer. The similarities between Butch and Billy are shown in the the Billy-centric episode "Cacti Are The Worst Dance Partners, Baby." As he looks for clues that will lead him to Butch's whereabouts, Billy gets embroiled in the middle of a turf war due to flirting with the ill-fated Vera Corsetta. In the midst of the action, he is shown to be quick-thinking and light on his feet, and delivers the same kind of cool one-liners that Butch is also known for. After Billy bids farewell to the townspeople, Vera is shown smoking on a balcony with a phone in hand, and she says wistfully, "He reminds me of you." It is implied that she was speaking to Butch, though his face is not shown, and that she may have had a prior relationship with him. It is shown in "There's Only One Way to Clean a Shotgun, Baby" that Billy is jealous of Rebeka's relationship with Butch. Rebeka and Billy team up in this episode, and as the two fight side by side against an unruly gang to save Butch, he praises her. Billy remarks bitterly that he's never heard such praise from Big Daddy, pointing out that Butch is more of a father to her than Big Daddy ever was to him. He quickly follows this up with, "Not that I want that jerk to praise me or anything!" Despite this, when Butch praises Billy on his improved aim, Billy becomes flustered and snaps at him. There are multiple occasions it's implied that Butch and Billy's relationship is evolving to be more like father and son. In "A Star's Edges Are Sharp, Baby" Butch gives Billy advice on how to aim properly in the middle of their gun fight. Billy responds, "I don't need you to teach me how to shoot!" Later on, in the Billy-centric episode "It's Cold After the Sun Sets, Baby" Billy remembers this advice and follows it, and is surprised to see that it worked. He then says he would rather die than admit Butch's advice was useful. In the episode "Don't Use Tumbleweeds For TP, Baby" Butch laughs at Billy when he shoots himself in the foot, but in the episode "Even Dogs Howl at the Moon, Baby" Butch goes out of his way to save Billy after he gets bitten by a rattlesnake and shot in the same day. Following "There's Only One Way to Clean a Shotgun, Baby" which ends in Billy kidnapping Rebeka, is the episode "You Can't Dance in Quicksand, Baby" where Billy attempts to draw Butch out of hiding, however Butch never comes, which angers Billy. When Rebeka asks him why he's so upset, Billy says he is not upset, he is merely disappointed in Butch's lack of care for Rebeka. He goes on to say that if Butch was a good dad, then he'd already be here, to which Rebeka says, "He is not my dad, and he's not yours either." This prompts Billy to shoot Rebeka in the head, however it does not kill her, and he learns for the first time that Rebeka is not human. She continues, saying, "A good dad knows when to let his kids hash things out, don't you think?" Billy is silent after this, and after three days of Butch not showing up, Billy lets Rebeka go, conflicted. In "Scorpions Only Know How to Sting, Baby" Butch is caught in Big Daddy's trap, and Big Daddy orders Billy to take Butch out, but he hesitates, and before he can take the shot, Big Daddy shoots Billy and then shoots Butch. After Butch escapes, he takes Billy with him, and this episode is followed by "W is for Wild, Baby"where Butch tells Billy his story. Billy accuses him of lying, but when Butch doesn't respond to this, Billy realizes he must be telling the truth, and he begins to cry as it dawns on him that he was never going to earn Big Daddy's approval. Butch pats him on the head and tells him, "You're not so bad, kid," implying that Billy had earned Butch's approval instead. After this episode, Billy officially joins the Lone Ranger crew. Honey The episode "It's Short Skirt Weather, Baby" is a flashback episode that shows how Butch and Honey met. Years ago, a much younger Honey was driving through the desert and happened upon Butch failing at fixing his broke down car. Honey fixed it for him, and he offered to buy her a drink as thanks. As they danced and drank, one thing led to another and they found themselves doing the horizontal tango. The next morning, Butch was prepared to leave her high and dry, just like always, but the way she clung to him in her sleep made it impossible to leave. It was always easier to leave before they woke up. Now there would be trouble. When Honey woke up, Butch already had a speech prepared. To his surprise, Honey took the words right out of his mouth. "I don't think this is gonna work out, Mr. Kassidy, but you're very nice as a friend!" "Well I'll be damned. Alright, Miss Honey, you just made a friend out of Butch Kassidy." Butch and Honey are shown to be very good friends. Honey refers to Butch as "Kassie" and Butch refers to Honey as "Sugar Bear," which is a notable difference from "It's Short Skirt Weather, Baby." Whenever Butch dines at BooBies, Honey treats him special, and in any scene where other characters are involved, as soon as Butch enters, Honey's attention is on him. From time to time, they are shown in bed next to one another, making idle conversation about events of previous episodes. A recurring conversation they have had involves Butch saying, "You know what I like about you, Sugar Bear? You never ask for anything in return." Honey always wishes Butch safe travels when he leaves. Dandy It is implied throughout episodes featuring Butch that something about Dandy seems to be messing with Butch's mechanical functions. In the episode "Country Boys Make Do, Baby" Butch cannot bring himself to pull the trigger on Dandy, despite that being the reason he flew to Squidtopia. In "We're Riding Bareback, Baby" Butch sees flashing lights around Dandy and begins to stutter. In "The Best Kind of Ambush, Baby" Butch wakes up after dreaming of Dandy, only to realize he has been blacked out on the floor and was left behind in the aftermath of the gun fight. In addition, Butch begins to show a peculiar personality trait. In "The Spurs Are On Backwards, Baby" Butch becomes enraged at the thought of Dandy flirting with someone else, and during their sex scene later on, Butch is much rougher with Dandy as a punishment, though he softens up when he sees that Dandy is genuinely in pain. In "Episode ???" Butch hunts down Sammy Bass when he discovers the bounty hunter has put a mark on Dandy, and in "Episode ???" Butch refers to Dandy as "mine." In the same episode, the Narrator says, "And at that moment, something happened to Butch—he fell in love with our hero—Oh, I'm sorry, I just received word that I need to censor that or our Chinese sponsors will withdraw their support. [The Narrator clears his throat.] And at that moment, something happened to Butch—he realized Dandy would be hotter as a girl." Although Butch's feelings are genuine, there appears to be an alternate explanation for Butch's obsessive and possessive behaviour. In "Episode ???" Rebeka notes that her own functions are also thrown off when Dandy comes near. In "Episode ???" Rebeka theorizes that Dandy must possess a large number of Pyonium somewhere on his person. Such large quantities would react poorly with the Pyonium in her and Butch's bodies and may possibly lead to Butch's altered functioning and personality changes. While this may explain some aspects of these changes, it was implied in "W Is For Wild, Baby" during the flashback to how Butch met Rebeka that it's possible the rewiring of Butch's brain combined with the excruciating pain of surgery without anesthesia caused irreversible changes to Butch's personality.
