Ned Kelly

Mar 22, 2003
Né en 1855, Ned Kelly devient l'ennemi public numéro un en Australie après avoir tiré sur un policier qui appréhendait son frère Dan. Avec ce dernier et deux autres complices, il fonde un gang qui sème le trouble de 1878 à 1880. Ned Kelly se distingue des autres bandits par son accoutrement quelque peu original : il porte une armure "faite maison", qui lui sert de gilet pare-balles, ainsi qu'un heaume de chevalier fabriqué par ses soins. Par ailleurs, comme Robin des Bois, il vole uniquement les riches pour donner aux pauvres.
