Captain Holden Ashworth
Level 15 Boss · Western Outpost
Captain Holden Ashworth is one of the boss threats a player meets in Desperados Destiny, sitting at level 15.
Field notes
The Ashford Company's outpost commander — efficient, methodical, and personally convinced he is bringing order to chaos. His survey orders will displace three Coalition villages. Non-hostile until the player breaks his rules, then relentlessly professional.
What you are walking into
Captain Holden Ashworth is level 15, carries 210 health, and is classed Omen, a boss encounter. That makes it a mid-game threat that expects a built character. It punishes over-commitment, turning your weaker hands back on you, so patience beats aggression here. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Captain Holden Ashworth plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Captain Holden Ashworth
Captain Holden Ashworth is encountered at Western Outpost. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination. The full entry for Western Outpost covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 950 experience and between $46 and $115. Its loot table can yield Ashworth Survey Orders and Corporate Documents. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
