CAMPAIGN ARCHIVE
Red Star Riders
The El Paso office has been running short-handed since bandits struck a Red Star coach, leaving several Riders dead or wounded. With the routes still open and the work piling up, Ada has hired a new crew.
Ada McCall
Manager, Red Star’s El Paso Office
REPUTATION
Hard, fair, and nearly impossible to rattle.
Ada assigns routes, handles contracts, and keeps Red Star’s battered El Paso office functioning. She expects every Rider to do their share and keep their word.
Jonah Rusk
Senior Driver
REPUTATION
The road has taken almost everything from him except his seat on the coach.
A weathered driver in his fifties, Jonah survived the attack with a shattered knee and two dead horses around him. He can walk with a cane but cannot yet drive a hard route. He knows every station, crossing, water source.
Isaiah Bell
Stablemaster and Former Rider
REPUTATION
He trusts horses readily and people eventually.
Isaiah is an older Black teamster who drove army supply wagons before joining Red Star. Years ago, an injured shoulder took him off the driver’s box, but nobody in El Paso understands teams, harness, or coaches better.
May Lee
Courier and Route Scout
REPUTATION
She know the trails around here better than most.
Born to an Apache mother and Chinese father, May moves comfortably through communities where most Red Star employees remain outsiders. She scouts roads, carries sensitive messages, and maintains contacts on both sides of the Rio Grande.
Nell Carrington
Clerk and Telegraph Operator
REPUTATION
She hears trouble before it arrives.
Nell manages manifests, payroll records, schedules, and telegraph traffic. During the raid, someone went directly for her route books, convincing her that the attackers possessed inside information.
