Butch LePray is, according to a legend told by Fito, the most dangerous bandit on the frontier, the scourge of stagecoaches and banks from Sarsparilla to Calliope Bay. He appears out of nowhere and robs folks blind. He has no mercy. He takes everything. He vanishes. Some say he's not even a man, just a shadow. Some even say he has no soul. No one has ever come close to catching him, because no one has ever seen his face and lived.[1]
The fierce bandit Butch—in actuality a woman—posed as a meek, bespectacled bookkeeper from Spring Falls named Jane to rob El Circo Dos Grillos with two accomplices as the circus performed in Dos Caras, in the process befriending and earning the trust of Lucky and learning that she was a Prescott of the famous JP & Sons Railroad. Butch hatched a plan to kidnap Lucky for ransom, but was thwarted when Lucky used her circus skills to escape her bindings and unhitch Butch's escape wagon, which careened into a ravine. Butch survived the crash and vowed revenge on Lucky.[1]
The following year, Butch robbed a stagecoach, and inside saw a newspaper reporting the upcoming Prescott–Flores wedding and including a picture of Lucky and her family outside the Prescott house, giving Butch a vital clues as to Lucky's location and an opportune date to strike.[2]
On the date of the wedding, when Lucky failed to appear at the church on time with the rings, Jim went back to the house to see what was keeping her. He was horrified to see his daughter tied to a chair in the parlor, right next to Butch LePray. One of Butch's goons grabbed Jim, and Butch told Jim that she had unfinished business with him and Lucky.[3]
