Borderlands/Characters/Borderlands 2

All characters originated from the first Borderlands can be found here.

Salvador

 * Badass Native: Salvador is actually a native of Pandora and was the defender of his village.

Handsome Jack

 * Author Avatar: Burch pretty much describes Handsome Jack as all the pent up rage he has with humanity except he is 'handsome'.
