Indeed. He was one of the good ones. A go-getter, and a very generous man.

None of us get out alive.... We had some business with Herbo that went south due to too many chiefs and not enough indians, yet I still somehow ended up getting along with him... The adventure of the hunt is what really mattered to him.... He really wasn't in it for the money.

Sail on Herbo...
