Big Coffin Hunters
Jonas is the leader of the "Big Coffin Hunters," a gang consisting of himself, Roy Depape, and Clay Reynolds. They all have identical blue coffins tattooed on the webbing between thumb and index finger. It is suggested in the text that the Big Coffin Hunters might actually be a much larger criminal group, and mentions of new incarnations of the Hunters are made in The Dark Tower. They also inadvertently spawn a copycat group in Mejis, consisting entirely of juveniles, who call themselves the "Big Coffin Hunters" also. Roland and his ka-tet are referred to as the "Little Coffin Hunters" by some of the citizens of Hambry.

and blackness ahead”
