A rather typical guy, the opportunist works as a delivery man for a medical supply production outfit and has done well for himself. He's proud of his work and he views it as necessary and will go to further lengths than most to assure it is done in a timely manner. He's not robotic whatsoever though and absolutely takes time to socialize during his trips, most find him affable and pleasant. Incredibly mild-mannered it's hard to find anyone who clashes with him personality wise unless they're just looking for something to fight about in which case he often just disengages from the situation not seeking trouble where trouble can be avoided. Outside of his job he is a bachelor who spends his free time revisiting areas he goes through while at work but to sightsee. He's not a drifter and keeps these excursions to scheduled time frames, something which is important to him is keeping routine and schedule intact. He tries to adhere to it rather religiously because truthfully.. he has zero grip on his impulse control, genuinely near zero grip on it. Once an idea enters his head he almost  reflexively acts on it, he attempts to keep this under control by choreographing his days in advance but unplanned events can cause lapses in judgment for him easily. Though despite this if an action takes more than a moment to do he often will stop himself, but anything less than that he has a hard time with. Especially lies

Which brings him trouble when he encounters Hunter and Chimera. The service which he often uses to travel long distances informs him that any deliveries he has must be delayed due to mismanagement with the automobiles battery which would need weeks to charge with the length of the trip. Unwilling to accept this he decides to go out of his way to secure transport and just so happens to be picked up by hunter, who questions the man's purpose. Before he can even think about it the opportunist blurts out that he is a traveling doctor who has a patient waiting for him quite a ways away and no method to reach them. Hunter offers him a ride which the opportunist accepts, internally kicking himself for now needing to keep up the lie lest he make himself suspicious around the rather.. dangerous looking man. And his strange companion who seems unsettlingly interested in the opportunist once they hear of his phony occupation...

Unlike all the characters encountered before him, he has no bounty because he is not a wanted man, he is the last character of the convicts arc.

Funfacts:
-very fond of board games of the period even though he often has no one to play with, sort of just likes the little pieces of them
-in the same line of thought he collects smalls from the places he visits
-sometimes he steals them on impulse lol
-has a designated nap time every day
-gets so sad if his coat gets nasty during trips because he cares about his appearance a lot
-partially because he's also trying to compensate for his worse habits but he just really is a clean man
-does not tan. Burns.
-sometimes wears just the strap part of his backpack thing because he likes the back support
