Eldred Jonas The leader of the Big Coffin Hunters, the trio of older hired guns working for John Farson in the Barony of Mejis. An old man with a pronounced limp and long white hair, Jonas is cunning, dangerous, and unburdened by anything that might encourage him to be otherwise. He was once a gunslinger's apprentice himself, failed his testing, and was sent west in the cold formality of that disgrace - a wound he has been a long time carrying. He coordinates the Mejis end of Farson's conspiracy with the unhurried thoroughness of a man who has been planning this kind of work for considerably more years than the three boys from Gilead have been alive. | Leader |
One of the Big Coffin Hunters - the youngest of the trio, bespectacled, cruel, and unable to let the smallest perceived slight pass without escalating it into the kind of incident the older two have to clean up after him. Depape wears a blue coffin tattoo on the back of his hand and conducts himself with the strenuous, sneering confidence of a man who has been allowed to do this kind of work for somewhat longer than is good for him. His near-killing of Sheemie over a spilled bucket establishes, early in the Mejis arc, both the shape of his personality and the kind of help Roland's company are going to find themselves having to give to the boy who survives him.

Clay Reynolds One of the Big Coffin Hunters - the trio of older, dangerous men John Farson keeps in Mejis to manage the heavier side of the operation. Reynolds wears a silk-lined cloak and carries himself with the cold, dressed-for-the-occasion composure of a man who has long ago stopped finding violence either remarkable or interesting. He works closely with Jonas on the conspiracy's logistics: the camouflage of the oil tankers at Citgo, the long quiet preparations the boys from Gilead are not yet supposed to have noticed. | Member |
