brigand

The Spaniards, indeed, feigned to regard them only as a remnant of the rebels who had joined the pre-existing brigand bands.

This was the flourishing time of the notorious Fra Diavolo, who began as brigand and blossomed into a patriot.

In the East the brigand has had a freer scope, and has even founded kingdoms.

The patriot band attracts the brigand proper, who is not averse to continue his old courses under an honourable pretext.

A Kurdish brigand chief with a large banking account in England sounds a wildly impossible conception.
