He's an immortal hobo who runs into places, dies, and comes back about five seconds later. Why is he not at least a circus performer or something? Who wants to die for a living, especially when it HURTS so much?
 
And his shtick is innacurate- he only gets new clothes if his old ones where destroyed by whatever killed him. Otherwise, it's the same clothes, made even shabbier by the bullet holes or whatever.
 
He's a greedy coward, too, made worse by the fact that it's just pain he's afraid of, not death.
 
As his skills suggest, he's done a lot of stuff, including some estoeric intelectual stuff. He could be centuries old, but in fact he's only 70; He stopped aging when he was hit by a bus in the late '70s.
