Vin

A Bandit from Glitzville. He used to be part of a team of Bandits in the Glitz Pit, but after meeting Mario he's started traveling outside of Glitzville, both to see and...ahem, borrow the sights. He thinks he's tough and will try his absolute best to big himself up and make himself look tough, but as much as he adamantly refuses to admit it, he's a bit of a softie at heart. It's not uncommon for him to partner up with someone- like Mario- because it somehow benefits him, and then realize he actually kind of likes the person he partnered up with.

A Bandit is as a Bandit does and he still regularly swipes coins from passersby, but he has a particular fondness for red coins. He's a bit nervous and clumsy when he's in plain sight, but that panic completely melts away the second he's out of plain view, and he turns out to be quite the formidable rogue.
