He is a pretty damn interesting character notably because of that great magical symbol of the Metis - The Bell of Batoche, which incidently showed up at a drinking party at his house back in 1995.
It has since disappeared from public view and rumours abound to its whereabouts but everybody knows who has it.
Billy Jo thinks it contains the spirit of Louis Riel and it talks to him.
