This is a skin and scoped mesh for The Man With No Name, as portrayed by Clint Eastwood. What use he can be in Freedom Force is beyond me.

In the late '60s, Clint Eastwood went to Spain to star in the first of three westerns by Sergio Leone. Leone was fascinated by American culture and filmmaking, and wanted to do a "modernization" of the western, along the lines of James Bond movies (there is a bit in the opening credits of the first movie that is supposed to be a Bond homage). The first movie, “A Fistful of Dollars”, was based on “Yojimbo” by Akira Kurasawa, and Leone was sued because of this (but “Yojimbo” was based on “Red Harvest” by Dashiell Hammet, and Hammet's estate didn't sue over it). Anyway, telling you what happens would spoil it, so...

The other two movies were "For a Few Dollars More", and "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". There was a mix up in the American trailers, that made it confusing as to whether Lee Van Cleef or Eli (Mr. Freeze) Wallach was The Ugly, but, let's face it, it really could have been either one (Wallach was The Ugly).

Eastwood's character was given the... designation "The Man With No Name" by the Warner Brother's publicity department, to tie the three movies together. But he had names... three of them, maybe. In the first movie, he was called "Joe", but that may have been the way G.I.'s were called "Joe" in WW II, or the way we would use "Mack" or "Buddy". In the second movie, he is called "Manco", which is supposed to mean "one armed", because he does everything left-handed, except shoot people. In the third movie he is called "Blondie" by Tuco (aka The Ugly), because his hair is lighter than most of the "Mexicans" in the picture.

Now, he could be different people; there are several "bit players" Leone uses in more than one of the three movies. Lee Van Cleef plays the bounty hunter Col. Douglas Mortimer in FAFDM, and also Angel Eyes in GBU. However, Eastwood is dressed the same in all three movies (eventually-he acquires the serape and wears his “uniform” in the last 15 minutes of GBU), and he has the same serape. In the second movie, you can see where he has tried to mend the bullet holes acquired in the first. But...

Then there is the timing of the movies... In an unfilmed opening bit, we would have been treated to a young Mexican bathing in a stream, while Eastwood, in an army uniform, would be seen stealing the man's clothes. The next scene would be the opening that we see now: Eastwood riding into the small town. Also, Col. Mortimer is said to be a war hero, and one would assume it was the American Civil War (another subject Leone was interested in), but in the third movie, the Civil War keeps getting in the way of the treasure hunt between Angel Eyes, Blondie, and Tuco. So, Was GBU first chronologically, since there is a scene of Blondie getting the serape from a dying solder, and the other two movies coming after? That might makes sense, except that that serape from the third movie has the SAME BULLET HOLES FROM THE FIRST MOVIE!

However the movies shall be viewed chronologically, there is one thing that ties them together: Eastwood's character carries the same gun in all three: a wood handled pistol with a rattlesnake on the grips. 

By the way, that pistol originally belonged to a young drover named Rowdy Yates.

Whatever the Man's real name was, he was tough, smart, and fast. He could (and did) shoot groups of gunmen before all of them had fired. He also seems to have seldom missed, and seldom needed to reload. While he could be caught off guard and captured or beaten, he almost never got hit by bullets (unless he wanted to be). I think that this is who Stephen King based his “Gunslinger” character on.

The bit with the boiler plate was cute too.

The scope consists of a Tom Versatile mesh with the cigar from Texas Jack's Wasteland Gunslinger. The skin includes a base by C6 and a picture of Clint Eastwood as The Man With No Name. This skin is more or less based on his appearance in "For A Few Dollars More" (my favorite). The "poncho" for Kang is skinned like the serape, but I didn't like how it looked, so I didn't "unhide" it. An FFv3R scope is included.

Me, I think The Man eventually moved to the Pacific coast, perhaps settling in the area at Pueblo San Francisco, and raising a family. I think that he may have started using his "real" last name, which I suspect was Callahan...
