The Ned Kelly gang was formed following an altercation with a corrupt police official known as Constable Fitzpatrick. He claimed that Ned, his brother, Dan, their mother and three neighbors had attacked him. Ned and his brother weren't home at the time and heard their mother had been thrown in jail over this incident. They returned home, vowing revenge. The Kelly boys were joined by Joe Byrne and Steve Hart. They became known as the Kelly Gang.
He was a thief! (not really a bad one, depends on how you look at it) Basically, he was the guy that inspired Ned Kelly, so most of the stuff Ned did, it was kind of like Ned continuing/taking on the role of Ben Hall when Ben died... ;)

Captain Moonlite, aka Captain Moonlight, aka Andrew George Scott, was originally a preacher at the small Victorian town of Egerton. An admirer of Ned Kelly, he made a sudden decision to become a bushranger. His first target was the manager of the Egerton Bank, who was fully aware of Scott's identity. Scott tied him up, with orders to tell police he had been robbed by Captain Moonlight. It is believed that the choice of name was a spur-of-the-moment decision based upon the robbery occurring in the middle of the night, under moonlight.
