3.15.11 New Release/Spoilers! Mercenary Character 'Jack Rocinante!

Today's Privateer Insider announced a Mercenary Character Jack to be released!  Introducing Rocinante, the Nomad with a cannon (or a Mule with a sword)!  Let the speculations run rampant!  Unscrambled picture below!

Wow, that was a little more exclamation marks than I wanted.  The first thing I thought when I read this guys name was, 'It has to be Damiano's character 'jack'.  Apparently, Rocinante is the name of Don Quixote's horse.  Anyway, on to the spectacularly baseless speculations.

So, from the picture, some things are quite blatantly obvious.  He is carrying a Nomad sword, and he has a massive cannon strapped to his arm.  Most likely, his sword will have the same P+S (which is 17) and reach.  It looks rather ordinary, so I don't think the sword will have any special rules.

In terms of his cannon, I don't think it will be the same as the Mule's cannon, based on the fact that there is no powder kegs to boost range.  Also, because Rocinante would have access to Snipe via pMagnus and the Arcane Tempest Gun Mages, the range on the cannon will likely be very short.  Likely RNG 8, possibly RNG 10.  Because it's a cannon, it will likely have AOE 3 or AOE 4.  POW should be in the neighborhood of 14 or 15.

So without further adieu, my baseless speculation of his card!

SPD 5, STR 11, MAT 8, RAT 6, DEF 10, ARM 18

Sword P+S 17
Reach

Cannon RNG 10, ROF 1, AOE 3, POW 14
Continuous Fire Effect

In terms of special rules on the back of the card, I'm completely clueless.  Hyper Aggressive?  Murderous?  Transforms into a Windmill?  Your guess is as good as mine.
