Why are tom and huck after injun joe in Tom Sawyer?

Injun Joe is generally the antagonist of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. He is a true villain at heart and a rather vengeful one at that. He never forgets what happened to him in the past and will violently retaliate, which is why people fear him so much. He is also clever and resourceful and uses various methods to conceal himself. His traits are moDELLed after the vengeful Native American stereotype. Another thing to note is that Injun Joe is a static character and he stays evil until his death.
