Chesterton Divide was a highwayman from the Forests of Hell.[1]
Chesterton Divide was initially a simple highway robber, guilty of murder, rape, and extortion.[1] Then he killed the governor of Lastport, although how or why were unclear. The city of Lastport put a huge bounty on Chesterton's head, calling him a psychopath and anarchist.
Chesterton and his men disguised themselves as merchants, wearing black coats with lace at the front and tall, wide-brimmed hats.[1] The disguise allowed them to vanish without cause for alarm, people would assume that they were foolish and had simply been killed by shades. They also could stop at waystops to listen for information and case places and people they wanted to rob.
Chesterton and his men then stopped at Silence Montane's waystop, where she recognized him from her book of bounties.[1] Silence planned to kill him and his men to collect the bounty, which was large enough to run the waystop for a year or two.
