Buckster $. Boyd

Sam describes Buckster as a javelina and Texas oil baron in a cream-colored suit and cowboy hat that are both a little too clean, like the "1900s version of a lumbersexual" MM E1·00:42:32. His prized possession is a gold pocket watch from his late father, inscribed "Time is money, here's both." MM E1·00:42:32. He is a mastermind rogue, which lets him give the Help action as a bonus action from 30 feet away MM E1·01:09:58. At the party he introduces himself as a business partner of Squire Badger's from the United States MM E1·01:17:57.

Buckster is a Texas oil baron and mastermind rogue who comes to Loam Hall as a business partner of the squire, with his accountant Armond Armadillo in tow MM E1·00:42:32 MM E1·01:17:57. After the squire is found dead, he tells Sylvester that Gangie has been robbing graves for the late squire, and proposes a partnership with Sylvester MM E4·00:17:21 MM E4·00:18:09. He rides the freight elevator with Gangie and Lars to the stormy hillside, where a tall masked figure appears in a flash of lightning and attacks Lars with a rapier MM E5·01:18:50 MM E5·01:26:28. After the three are declared under arrest, Jeremy asks them to stay in a bedroom, and Buckster agrees, rolling a natural 20 on persuasion MM E6·01:13:38 MM E6·01:13:58 MM E6·01:14:20.

After Sylvester is arrested, Sam says Buckster cannot get over the feeling that Sylvester's imprisonment is a con MM E8·00:08:34. Buckster offers Gangie three jobs MM E8·00:28:01. He tells Gangie "you are good at the doing things. I'm good at the delegating." MM E8·00:29:23. He works out, about the elevator key, that "three o'clock, it's not a time. It's a direction." MM E8·01:03:44. He races into the elevator himself MM E8·01:20:30. In the cellar, reading the squire's papers, he concludes that the squire was deeply in debt with the debts paid off by someone "fronted by a bunny", which is his own guess MM E9·01:26:21.

In MM_10 a natural 20 Deception makes the fake police herd the guests into the drawing room, and every ally in Loam Hall gets advantage on stealth checks MM E10·00:09:24. He tells the room that Detective Cross is innocent MM E10·00:11:06. When Sylvester is dying, Buckster gives him the Help action on a death save MM E10·02:23:06. He puts a fist to Sylvester's chest and says "Don't you die on me Detective, don't you die on me." MM E10·02:24:16 MM E10·02:24:24. In the epilogue he offers to finance the Brockhollows and to employ Gangie and Mrs. Molesly MM E10·02:29:53 MM E10·02:30:25. He tells Jeremy that he came to take control of his oil fields away from the squire and that "my story has come completely full circle" MM E10·02:32:15.
