Colt is a main protagonist and a core member of the elite team piloting the Ramrod. He serves as the unit's sharpshooter and gunner, responsible for operating the vehicle's weapon systems. Before joining the Star Sheriffs, Colt lived as a bounty hunter, tracking outlaws across the frontier. His past is marked by tragedy, as the Outriders killed his parents. This loss occurred after he left home to join a traveling rodeo, and it became the driving force that ended his rodeo career and pushed him to dedicate his life to hunting the Outriders. His pursuit of the Outrider spy Vanquo eventually led him to cross paths with Fireball and Saber Rider, and his actions during a subsequent attack proved his potential, leading to his recruitment into the team. Colt honed his exceptional shooting skills under the tutelage of his friend and teacher, Timothy Dooley, becoming one of the best marksmen in the New Frontier.

In terms of personality, Colt embodies the archetype of a brash and impulsive cowboy. He is characterized as a jokester who always has a clever quip or a taunt ready, and he is a self-assured ladies' man who frequently flirts with women. He is direct and outspoken, preferring to call things as he sees them rather than mince words. This open and sometimes moody nature can come across as childish to his colleagues, whom he often teases. He has a noted aversion to strict duty and obedience, often being the first to request leave or time off. Colt also welcomes provocation from both friends and enemies, and when his temper reaches its peak, Saber Rider is typically the one who must urge him to exercise restraint. However, beneath this facade of a jovial and flirtatious daredevil lies a deeper sadness and a yearning for justice for his parents. Despite his laid-back lifestyle and penchant for chasing women instead of outriders, he knows precisely when to get serious and be relied upon in tense and dangerous situations.

Colt's primary motivation throughout the story is revenge. He joined the Star Sheriffs with the sole purpose of avenging his parents' deaths at the hands of the Outriders, a drive that persists even after he becomes a member of the team. He is fiercely independent and somewhat of a lone wolf, but his commitment to his comrades is undeniable when they are in peril. His key relationships within the team are defined by contrast and camaraderie. He frequently bickers and competes with Fireball, as their personalities clash, but he genuinely cares for his teammate and is always ready to help and protect him. He looks to Saber Rider, the calm and collected leader, who often has to remind Colt of his duties and rein in his more impulsive tendencies. On a personal level, an ironic twist of fate sees Colt falling in love with Robin, a woman who abhors all forms of violence, creating a dynamic based on their opposing fundamental principles.

Colt does not undergo a dramatic transformation, but his character is defined by the tension between his carefree exterior and his tragic, vengeance-fueled interior. He is a reliable hero who demonstrates that he can set aside his personal desires for fun and leisure when the mission demands focus and courage. His notable abilities are centered on his unparalleled skill with a blaster, making him a supremely accurate gunman. He is also an excellent pilot, often undertaking solo missions in his nimble personal spacecraft, a small reconnaissance and attack ship named the Bronco Buster, which is equipped with a powerful gun on its roof.
