Hardtop gets the job done. If you tell him to move his Crawler to the top of a mountain, he doesn't ask how to get it there, why it has to be there or even where the mountain is—he just gets it there. What? No road up that mountain? Hardtop will make his own road! No level clearing on top? No problem-just don't get in his way.
"You might say he was the strong silent type, emphasis on the silent. His idea of a long conversation is a nod and a handshake.
It's not that he's unfriendly, he simply has his own priorities and talking isn't one of them."
