The character's real name was John Butcher, and there was really no stated reason for anyone to call him "the Butcher," nor did the name fit his calling, that of avenging his parents' deaths at the hands of a corporation. He also didn't have much of a reason to don a superhero costume laced with Indian visual tropes, but he did, and after his debut mini-series he only appeared a couple more times.before he disappeared.
In addition to skills with gun and knife, he occasionally had spiritual visions, but Baron didn't bring any particular mythopoeic insight to them.
