Adventurer

The Resume

    (1780-1833)
    Forced to join a crew of pirates (1817)
    Escaped to Galveston Island and lived with Pawnee Indians (1819-1822)
    Became a trapper for The Rocky Mountain Fur Company (1822)

Why he might be annoying:

    He inadvertently got between a sow grizzly bear and her cubs, and was viciously attacked.
    He later claimed that the only reason he survived the attack was because he wanted to find Jim Bridger and John Fitzgerald (the two trappers who left him to die) and kill them.
    He killed Indians even though he had lived with them for three years of his life.
    He was an alcoholic.
    He smoked and chewed tobacco.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Believing that Glass would surely die from his terrible wounds, Jim Bridger and John Fitzgerald abandoned him after taking his rifle and equipment.
    He was also left to die because he would be a burden onto the other trappers.
    After being abandoned he managed to survive by having maggots eat his infected wounds. He began to drag himself towards Fort Kiowa, more than 200 miles away. By eating dead animals and berries he managed to get into a walking position and stumbled for about three months until he finally reached Fort Kiowa.
    He found Jim Bridger years after the attack and forgave him for leaving him to die.
    He was killed ten years after his attack in a fight with the Arikara Indians, when they attacked the fort he was in.
