9th: Trevor Phillips. Why? Because one of the lose conditions is getting arrested. This guy has the strongest connections to the area, which is his major downfall. He's a known quantity to the police force, and likely their first suspect. He'll be under surveillance and taken down quickly once he tries something.

8th: Joe. Joe's down here because his arsenal's crap, his funds are crap, and he's mentally unstable. He's likely to get caught or killed before he has the chance to do much, though probably not as quickly as Trevor; being a crazy hobo is less conspicuous than the local crime boss.

6th: Bats and Mr. Blonde. Both of these guys are highly skilled at both combat and heists, but both of these guys have lower funding and extremely short tempers. They're likely to get caught by police early on.

5th: Dylan Cross. He gets this far not through any virtue of his own, but simply because everyone below him is more likely to go batshit or are already known to the police as a person of goddamn interest, Trevor is going down so hard you guys why are you putting him in first?. He's ultimately bowing out almost immediately after Bats and Blonde thanks to his low experience and low funds. He's a killer, not a thief, and you need to be both here.

4th: Boyd Crowder. Boyd is skilled, trained, and calm. He's an excellent candidate, but he ultimately falls slightly behind the others here. He's a killer and a thief, but he's missing two things the top three have: stealth and the right kind of connections.

3rd: Lucas Hood. Lucas' police connections will get him to third, as he's able to avoid detection, as well as possible protection and resources to track down the stolen cash. Ultimately, however, he is outfought by both Jordi and John, who are probably the best-funded people in the match while he's one of the worst. Further, he likely has the least motivation to actually find the stolen cash, making him just as likely to pull out.

2nd: Jordi Chin. Jordi has everything going for him here. He's skilled, he's clever, he's calm under fire, he's used to these kinds of operations, he can improvise effectively, and much more. He is very well-connected no matter where he goes, and the slippery little shit's likely to be able to recruit or manipulate most of those below him. Where he gets second, though, is that he's likely to bail. Unlike the winner, who has extreme tenacity, when things start going wrong, Jordi starts going out of town.

1st: John Pilgrim. Just like Jordi, he's got a lot of advantages over everyone else. He's skilled, manipulative, and intelligent. Further, his cover as a priest is likely to afford him a little more protection than other combatants, as the office brings some pretty hefty spiritual clout. What ultimately wins this for him, however, is that he's simply more committed to getting the job done than his major competition, Jordi.

(this is probably full of mistakes, so apologies if it is)
