Pre-cognition A deadly preminition.
Kenneth's expression turns completely blank. The expressions of whatever, or whoever he was impersonating is gone. Beneath this demeanor now exists a blatant grin.
He seems to be hyper-aware of where, and when things will happen. The gun in is hands is just the perfect weight, allowing his movements to slink in that perfect shot.
Kenneth's third eye is open, with him being able to predict when - and where - someone, or something, will be.
He would draw a gun the second before he needed to line a shot, and he would shoot a bullet the moment he needed to intercept another.
The rest is just him being an excellent shot.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Indiana Ranger
As the star glints in the sunlight Cleatus is imbued with the firearms skill and knowledge of the good old boys who have come before him, every hunt, every moonlit one in a million shot, and exactly how they made it comes flooding into his mind as he's granted the skill of every gunslinger the great state of Indiana has ever laid claim to. Though with it comes the independent spirit of those who came before it, and as new to magic as Cleatus is he finds it hard to resist these impulses they've forced upon him.
