Roscoe (Crow's Heads)

Roscoe was a gang leader of the Crow's Heads and previous owner of his subsequently named gambling den, the Crow's Head. One of the main antagonists of the Saltmine Valley Arc, he handles misdealings with several members of the adventuring party and tasks them with the destruction of his cousin Wilhelmina and her rival group. He's introduced in the end of the second episode, "Along the Orange River".

Biography
Roscoe is described as a portly man, well dressed, with several rings on his fingers. Cold and ruthlessly calculating, he treats the party with contempt and his own underlings with a condescending tone. Arrogantly believing himself to be the true heir of the riches of the Salt Valley, he enjoys planning dastardly events behind the scenes with no hindsight to those he may affect in his path to riches.

History
The gang leader built his riches up after creating a makeshift casino, known as the Crow's Head, in the city of Nashpara. After obtaining some substantial capital, he officially founds his gang using the gambling den as his main headquarters. Using his goons to browbeat the local organizations to either support or ignore his shady deals, he plans for the influential takeover of all the population that encompasses the Saltmine Valley. However, his plans gain a thorn in his side when his cousin, Wilhelmina, and several cohorts split off to make their own rival organization, taking along several contacts and information gained through the Crow's Head. Sending out contracted spies, including Dosh Johnson, to gather information about Wilhelmina's plans and other potential threats, Roscoe angrily discovers that Dosh is playing both sides of the table and is selling Wilhelmina information as well.

Unable to get a loyal standing to either party, he sends out a bounty hunter, Revan Dawntreader, to hunt down Dosh and track the whereabouts of Wilhelmina. Unsurprisingly enough, Dosh recruits Revan to his aid after the two of them alongside the Hammerbottom brothers murder the hell out of the Crow's Head goons also sent after the two-timing bard. The newly formed adventuring party approach Roscoe himself in the Crow's Head casino to clear their names, and he contracts the entirety of them with a simple task; destroy Wilhelmina and everything tied to her so her influence is out of the equation. Offering amnesty as the reward, he sends them away with a week to complete the task. Likely planning to kill them on their successful or failed return, he continues his plans of faking orc attacks at the Saltmines and at Wriford, where the Steelglade Gala await.

Eventually both his and Wilhelmina's plans are exposed to the public thanks to the work of the adventuring party and orc clans, and is executed with the cousin he so particularly hates. Dosh Johnson, ironically, takes over his role as leader of both the Crow's Heads gang and the Crow's Head casino.
