He's only arguably a thug, what we do find out about Amarant is actually quite comical and satisfying. Throughout the game we see wanted posters for him all over Treno and he is made out to be this ruthless badass, and then in one ATE you find out that it was really Zidane who broke the law in Treno and then managed to pin the crime on Amarant. This is most likely the reason that Amarant even takes Brahne's job to go after Zidane, and why he's so apathetic about the actual job rather than just settling the score with Zidane.
