148. Gentleman Brady and Vile Jeffries

Matthew Brady and Mark Jeffries were bushranger highwaymen in the wilds of Tasmania in the 1820s. Although they were both escaped convicts on the lam and being hunted by constabulary, they had little in common.


Matthew Brady was considered chivalrous, a man who used violence only in self-defence. Dubbed the Gentleman Bushranger, due his fine manners and his way with the ladies. Brady was charming and a little bit mischievous with a cheeky sparkle in his eye.


Mark Jeffries was not like Matthew Brady.


Beyond his dead eyed stare was an empty perverted soul who just wanted to watch the world burn, possibly while he had nonconsensual sex with it. Jeffries was a sadist, a ruthless killer, a sexual predator, a baby executioner and cannibal.


Both were being hunted by the notorious bounty hunter Batman… John Batman.
