Once word spread around, everyone took to calling Bill “Yeller Belly”, which only adds to his sense of resentment. He kept telling himself that one big score is all he needs to show everybody he’s got what it takes. Chasing that is what took him to Coffin Rock, where he met a grisly end. But his spirit lives on, connected to this world by the presence of his old partner David. While Yeller Belly isn't too keen on working with David much, it seems the young grifter is what's keeping him from passing on, so he's willing to tough it out for the time being.
