Pellet

Pellet was the brother of Bullet. He was killed by Gravy sometime prior to the current storyline. His death became the source for Bullet's initial hatred of the Eight Flames.

Personality
Next to nothing is known about Pellet's personality. However, seeing as Bullet remembers him fondly he was most likely a nice person on some level.

Appearance
Pellet's appearance prior to his death is largely unknown.

Overview
Considering that Bullet and Pellet grew up together in the Oasis, it can be assumed that Pellet grew accustomed to its atmosphere from a young age, learning to survive in the Oasis.

Bullet
Bullet is Pellet's sister. The two apparently shared a close relationship, as his death made her bitter and caused her to hate whoever killed him fiercely.

Big Top
Big Top is the adoptive father of Bullet and Pellet. Next to nothing is known about their relationship beyond that. However, Bullet, who knew them both personally, did seriously consider the possibility of Big Top being the one who had him killed. This suggests that something like that might have been possible.

History
At some point before the start of the story, someone signed a contract with the Eight Flames to have Pellet killed. The reasons for this are unknown, but the assassin who was given this mission was Gravy, the Fourth Flame and the future cook of the Devil's Luck Pirates. Pellet soon died under mysterious circumstances. This mission had a profound psychological effect on Gravy, who abandoned his work as an assassin shortly afterwards, making this his last mission as a member of the Eight Flames.

Trivia

 * A pellet can refer to a spherical projectile most commonly fired from certain kinds of firearms operated by a single person. This correlates with Bullet's name.
