The Mechanic. He’s a direct nod to Scruffy from Futurama. I’m a car guy and I’ve always loved working on cars and such and so I had to have a mechanic. Plus they’ve got some cool ships- gotta have a cool mechanic. Although sadly the perpetually on break joke won’t work because there’s no money or jobs or any of that crap in Thorn. But hopefully a little of Scruffy can live on in Old Joe.

No ideas about casting here. If I could I would cast Harry Dean Stanton but I’m sure the right person will show up.
