2. Tim is one of the few that enjoys being a hood, and is leader of the Shepard gang. He has a grim and bitter smile, like Dallas Winston and the Brumly boys. He has a neutral relationship with Ponyboy's gang, and was once found in their living room in the morning, reading the newspaper.

He treats his gang members with strictness and organization, unlike Ponyboy's crew, who are just buddies that stick together. He has a stern personality.
