The Ghost
 Blackthorn / int_1ba17583
comment
The Ghost: Eduardo supposedly stole $50,000 from Simón Patiño, a powerful Bolivian industrialist and mine owner. The posse chasing Eduardo and Blackthorn is believed to have been sent by Patiño, but Patiño himself never appears. Eventually Mackinley tells Blackthorn the $50,000 Eduardo stole was not from the powerful mine owner, Patiño, but from the mining families who recently took control of the mines.

Dramatic Ammo Depletion: After killing one of the Posse on the Uyuni salt flats, Eduardo sees the man's partner approaching. He raises his pistol, sights and pulls the trigger, only for the hammer to fall on an empty chamber. He tries again only for the same thing thing to happen. He reaches for his gunbelt, only to find he is out of bullets. He then searches the body of the dead man, but discovers he too was out of ammo.
