Wes started off as a law man. A deputy sheriff of a small, dusty town. But being a law man doesn't always pay the bills--especially after losing one too many games of poker. Deep in debt and coming to the realization that he was starting to get some unwanted attention, Wes decided to flee to Indian lands. Fortunately, Wes had always been fair to Indians, so they allowed him in and even began teaching him some of their ways in magic.
Eventually, though, Wes felt the itch to return to civilization. And it had been long enough that Wes probably didn't have a target on his back any longer. Striking out with only his trusty black stallion, Midnight, Wes scratched together a living claiming bounties for wanted fugitives. And usually bringing them back alive, too. He always thought it was better for the law if folks saw the criminals hanged publicly.
As he wandered into Roderic's Cove, Wes couldn't shake the feeling that something big was going down. Good or bad he wasn't sure, but his intuition on these things was often right.
Personality and Appearance:
Wes has seen his fair share of years, wrinkles etched in from dirt and dust onto what used to be a handsome face. He likes curvy women, straight whiskey, and straight shooters; he'll tell it like it is. Maybe that's why he's so terrible at Poker, a vice he still hasn't given up even after his years in Indian lands. He's not bloodthirsty, but is steadfast in the face of trouble--when you're in the Wild West, that's the only way to ride. He's a bit of a loner--his truest friend is Midnight, a black stallion that has a mind of his own but has never let Wes down.
