Notable Apparel: Casually, Crowe most often wears a dark green jumpsuit with a utility belt around his waist. The jumpsuit is made with military grade combat fibre able to prevent penetration from smaller calibre weapons though they will hurt like hell. It is also great to keep warm.
Another outfit of Crowe's is high-grade military combat armour with a ballistic helmet with a custom steel faceplate shaped into a skull. The visor can glow and with impeccable night vision when the battery is charged enough. The areas that aren't well covered are his abdomen, thighs and biceps.

Bio: Cassidy was born to a family that seemed to have kept their old Irish behaviour throughout the years after the apocalypse. He was born to an Irishman, Crowe, and a woman who had a distinct Nordic heritage named Jenny. The two had six children and Cassidy was their only son and the eldest. His sisters were named Ashley, Sheela, Enya, Aideen and their youngest was Ita. Cassidy's father was a cybernetic surgeon and Jenny was a doctor though was trained as a veterinarian. As the first child and only son, Cassidy looked up to his father and whenever they could, Crowe taught Cassidy about cybernetics, making him read old worn books and study as if he was in school so that he could take over his dad's business of cybernetic maintenance. There was a terrible incident where Cassidy got wreckage over him, practically destroying his arm and leg. Once he recovered, his father fitted him with prosthetics.
When Cassidy was sixteen years of age, a strange canine pup was brought to them to be treated. It was missing a leg and an eye. The pup seemed to have been near an explosion and near death but with Crowe's cybernetic expertise and Jenny's medicinal skills they managed to save the canine, finding out that it was actually a she and a hyena or at least mostly a hyena. She was fitted with a new leg, synthetic flesh and muscles along with an eye. She also had some broken teeth and Jenny apparently fitted the poor pup with titanium alloyed teeth despite her husband's protests. The pup became part of the McAllisters and named Anne.
Jenny trained the little hyena, training her with her children who were quick to become Anne's favourite in the world. Cassidy was very fond to throw an old baseball for Anne to catch. Crowe was slow to love the yapping pup but she worked her way to his heart eventually.
Cassidy was at the age of twenty two when tragedy hit the McAllisters. They were moving away to a larger location where their expertise would be able to support them even better and where both Jenny and Crowe could get better supplies and more profit. They were however ambushed by bandits. The bandits had no interest in just robbing them but they were at some sort of time crunch so the only thing they really did to the family was hanging them. Cassidy was the last to be set on the tree, let to choke on it, struggling. Anne had fled after getting shot in the flank and when Cassidy commanded her. The bandits left him to die at the end of the branch, his parents and sisters dangling to his left. At a somewhat subjective turn of luck, the end of the branch was cracked and gave because of his struggle, hitting the ground hard and twisting an ankle. He spent hours looking up at his family, hanging from the dead tree. Anne returned during this time, whining to the last of the McAllisters.
Cassidy found himself with the NDL, working mostly as a cybernetic maintenance for the rest of the NDL who needed it but he didn't really hold much loyalty to them. He was with them to gain information and proper equipment. He was simply known as the Hyena Man and he never really corrected them. Once he was ready, he donned a yellow coloured combat armour with a skull plated helmet and weapons which he all named after his sisters. He also brought rope. A lot of rope.
He tracked down the bandits he thought were the ones responsible and he did his best to keep most of them alive, shooting joints and hands to disarm them and later string all of them up by the neck and cut their guts open to let their intestines hang out. Some of the NDL seemed to have followed him, curious about their Hyena guy and what they say made them start calling Cassidy "Gallows". A few months after Cassidy's hanging galore he abandoned the NDL, wandering to end up with the Hawkers, doing the same thing what he did with the NDL but with a company that he actually preferred.
