Live Die Repeat Device[]
Gavin is first shown as a cowboy-like character who finds himself wandering from town to town looking for a way to pay off his gambling debts from Basketballburgh. He along with his pet hedgehog Hedgie find themselves in Gutterville. He is recognised by a fan from his hedgehog whom he later tells to be quiet to avoid drawing attention to him. Afterwards, the fan offers Gavin his barn for posting Hedgie. He then goes into Oscar's saloon and overhears a conversation between Oscar and a man. When he hears Oscar's offer of 10,000 yardbucks, he volunteers to help transport food to an undisclosed location. He is however, rejected by Oscar as he is seen by Oscar to be distrustful. He tries to prove to Oscar that he can be trusted by cleaning his saloon and throwing out a drunk who attempts to attack Oscar. Afterwards, McManus (Gavin's creditor) and his gang find Gavin in Gutterville and beat up Gavin as a reminder to pay off his debts. After seeing Gavin's real reason for wanting his offer, Oscar finally offers Gavin the job to transport supplies to another location in exchange for 10,000 Yardbucks. Sofia, the niece of Oscar joins Gavin on his journey when Oscar is killed by Little Richard, whom Gavin suspects is looking for him.
