Homeless Villain
Hank the Homeless Villain sporadically visits wranglers fishing in Jettison Jetty.
When making a cast and he approaches, you will see the following message:
"Hank the Homeless Villain is nearby... Jettison Jetty is home to the dangerous Hank the Homeless Villain..."
"What do you want to do?"
You are given 4 options:
# Stay calm and don't move.
# Take off and run.
# Offer it my next few catches. (depends on Homeless Villain's hunger)
# Defend with your Candy Cane / Medical Mangler Pole! (requires level 23 pole) (This works best with a Level 25+ Pole)
The last option changes depending on which pole (Candy Cane or Medical Mangler) you are currently using, and requires purchasing the fourth add-on for that pole.
Outcomes[edit]
Wranglers can gain or lose silver depending on the option chosen, pole level and chance at gaining collectible items. Examples of possible outcomes for choosing each option are provided below:

Homeless Villain collectable set[edit]
Collectables are a "glory award" / "achievement award" that wranglers can show off. There are a set of collectibles related to Hank, which vary in rarity.
"Hank, the homeless villain of Jettison Jetty, never left the factory after it shut down. He's often spotted rambling about magical jelly beans and robbing innocent wranglers of silver for his once-promised retirement."
Rusty Wrench (Very Common)
"Hank's Rusty Wrench broke several years ago. Some say it's part of the reason why the factory shut down after constantly making deformed Jelly Beans. Poor Hank never could figure out how to re-tighten the loose bolts."
This collectable may be randomly dropped when choosing "Take off and run" and escaping Hank
Key Ring (Common)
"Hank's Ring of Keys were used to open up the various packages of Jelly Beans."
Randomly gained after choosing "stay calm and don't move" and successfully hiding from Hank
Clipboard (Rare)
"Hank never learned how to write, so this never really came into use."
Randomly gained after choosing "Give my catches" and having it be accepted.
Safety Goggle (Quite Rare)
"Brand new, mint condition. Who really thinks Hank wore these?"
Randomly gained after successfully using "Attack with your Candy Cane / Medical Mangler

Turning in the Homeless Villain Collection will yield access to Castout Creek & (1) Horse Tamer & (1) Smore Sauce
Tips[edit]
Use your higher level pole for your encounter with Homeless Villain so you have a better chance at Defending.
Hank is linked to the other encounters in terms of how often he appears. If you have interacted with others and already chose an option, you should be free from encountering Hank for about two hours. He will collect the silver and points if you offered catches from another encounter.
Choosing the Defend option will get you chances at the later items in the collection so you can trade down to complete the set.
