This article is about the Necromundan bounty hunter, for the graphic novel series see Kal Jerico (Graphic Novel Series)

Kal Jerico is the most famous bounty hunter in Necromunda's Hive Primus. As well as hunting those with bounties Jerico often has a bounty of his own due to his unorthodox methods, leading as often as not to trouble finding him; resolves these situations using his trademark debonair swashbuckling style, relying on quick wits and his good luck more than brute strength. His associates include his half-Ratskin sidekick Scabbs and more recently his family's Cyber-Mastiff Wotan and former enemy and fellow uphiver turned bounty hunter Yolanda Catallus; the more ambivalent spy-master Nemo has called in a favour from saving Jerico's life on one occasion, while also sanctioning his lieutenant (and Jerico's enemy) Cheka to kill him. Other enemies include the insane Redemptionist Cardinal Crimson and escaped Pit Slave Vandal Feg. Most recently, Jerico has been summoned uphive a number of times to fulfil various missions for his family.
