They were at the top of the world, they were stories told around the campfire to warn little psychos, they had such high prices on their heads people would risk everything to come after them even knowing that with 99% certainty they weren't going to walk out of it alive. Never mind Handsome Jack. On Pandora, they were practically gods. Lilith had bandits worshipping her.
