Character Bio

The so-called "Scourge of the West", he is credited with keeping the peace (which is in fact really kept by O'Rourke's secret treaty with the Hekawi tribe.) Chief Wild Eagle knows him by a different title: "The Great White Pigeon". When the need to keep up appearances arises, the troopers and the Hekawis stage mock battles for the benefit of outsiders. Parmenter is successful at keeping the peace – he just doesn't know why. Originally from, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania he is well-meaning and sweet-natured, although essentially clueless. He is invariably kind and encouraging to his men – and always bravely (albeit ineptly) leads them into action. A perpetual klutz, Parmenter is unable to fold maps or even dismount properly, and frequently becomes entangled with his ceremonial sword.
