No one has ever seen The Stranger outside of his work gear, but here is a eye-witness sketch:
Personality
It’s hard to gauge The Stranger’s personality as he doesn’t speak. Instead he focuses on precise body language to convey meaning and guide others when necessary. When working on a job, he won’t shift focus onto any other matter unless absolutely necessary, completely driven by whatever his current goal is. Loyalty, professionalism, and honor define him.

Ranger Armor: A set of protective armor and helmet that comes built with night-vision and thermal detection.
Big Iron: A Great Western frame with a 12" barrel made from an 1892 Winchester rifle or carbine barrel in .44 WCF
Abilities/Powers: Augmented Reality
The user has the ability to see data and variables around them to enhance their day-to-day life as well as combat and exploration.

History
To the town of Chula Vista rode a stranger one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say
No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
The stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
He came riding from the south side, slowly lookin' all around
"He's an outlaw loose and runnin'", came a whisper from each lip
"And he's here to do some business with a big iron on his hip"
"Big iron on his hip"
In this town there lived some outlaws by the name of The Raptors
Many men had tried to take them and that many men were successful
They were stupid and incompetent, though youths of twenty four
And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more
One and nineteen more
Now the stranger started talkin' made it plain to folks around
Was a Metahuman ranger, wouldn't be too long in town
He was here to take some outlaws back alive or maybe dead
And he said it didn't matter he was after The Raptors
After The Raptors
Wasn't long before this story was relayed to The Raptors
But the outlaws didn't worry, men that tried before were dead
Twenty men had tried to take them, twenty men had made no slip
Twenty one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
Now the morning passed so quickly it was time for them to meet
It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street
Folks were watchin' from the windows
Every body held their breath
They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death
About to meet his death
There was twenty feet between them
When they stopped to make their play
And the swiftness of the Ranger is still talked about today
The Raptors had not cleared leather for a bullet fairly ripped
And the ranger's aim was deadly, with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered 'round
There before them lay the bodies of the outlaws on the ground
Oh, they might have went on livin' but they made one fatal slip
When they tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip.
Big iron, big iron
When they tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip
Big iron on his hip
