Gunfighter Chris Larabee is haunted by the brutal murder
of his wife and 5-year-old son at the hands of a paid killer, hired by an
obsessed and demented former lover . Little else is known about his background,
except that he lived in Indiana as a very young man. Chris is possibly the
most unstable of the group, a heavy drinker prone to bouts of rage and
depression. Nevertheless, his position as the dynamic "Leader" of the Seven
is unquestioned. |
| ATF A former cop, Larabee now heads ATF Team Seven,
a hand-picked force of agents who are directly supervised by District Attorney
Orin Travis. Chris's wife and son were killed by a car bomb intended for
him. The murder was never solved.

missionaries and is himself a defrocked priest. He has a sister who is severely
mentally ill, a fact known only by Vin Tanner. Obviously extensively-traveled
and well-educated, he has dedicated himself to seeking spiritual Truth. Although
seemingly calm and soft-spoken, Josiah can be moved to violence with little
provocation. |

Born into slavery, the "Healer" Nathan Jackson learned
his medical skills as a stretcher bearer during the Civil War. His mother
committed suicide when he was seven after discovering she was pregnant by
a white man who had raped her. Despite bearing the emotional and physical
scars of a harsh and brutal past, Nathan is gentle and compassionate, and
the most even-tempered of the Seven. He has a romantic relationship with
Rain, a black woman adopted by the Seminole tribe. |
| ATF The son of Civil Rights activists, Nathan is a
trained EMT and ex-Army medic who serves as the Team's forensic liaison.

The "Gambler" Ezra Standish is a cardsharp and a con artist,
as is his mother, Maude, who left his upbringing mostly to relatives and
with whom he has a volatile relationship. It is not known which, if any,
of Maude's five former husbands is Ezra's father. Ezra is undoubtedly the
most intelligent of the Seven, and also the one most concerned with appearance
and manners. He makes no apologies for his considerable skill as a con artist. |
| ATF Ezra's chosen career in law enforcement, as a
civil servant, no less, is an embarrassment to his wealthy jet-set mother
who left his upbringing to a series of nannies and private schools. Ezra
is extremely intelligent, well-educated and extensively traveled, and always
impeccably attired.
Physical Description: Brown hair, green eyes, short stature with a
trim, athletic build. Age: 28-35 |

when he is pushed too far. |

where his mother was employed. He volunteered to take on the job of town
sheriff when no one older or wiser was willing to do it. |
| ATF JD is a computer wizard and electronics expert
with a genius IQ who, having finished high school and college well ahead
of his peers, is considerably younger than the average ATF agent.
