Backstory
The Scoundrel was working as a bandit for Gastley and stole King Conrad's dagger for a payment. He wasn't paid immediately, though, so he ran off, keeping the dagger for himself. Later, he encountered Max and Uncle Budrick, whom he attempted to rob. He tried to kill Budrick, but before succeeding, Max shot him with a rock (using his lute) and knocked him out.
