 ===Background===
 <p>James was born in 1837 to an upper-middle-class family who ended up settling in Columbus, Ohio, when he was a teen. His parents wanted him to go to have a proper education, and he went to medical school nearby. Around 1857, his parents were killed by bad people trying to extort them for money. James tracked them down to a small town nearby called Purgatory, and went on killing spree, killing most of the culprits; local news reports of the incident nicknamed him "The Butcher of Purgatory," and the story eventually got wider circulation. Chief Deputy US Marshal Charles C. Tompkins of the Southern Ohio District tracked down and captured James. Impressed by James' tenacity, he gave him a chance to carry on legally, so James became a deputy US marshal, and helped capture the remaining bandidos. He remained in the US Marshal service as a respected lawman for several years; overlapping time of Civil War.</p>
-<p>James eventually met and married a nice Mexican girl, who gave birth to Marisol in 1863. But his job is hazardous: bad guys he put in jail later escaped to threaten his family; his wife was killed. Feeling he had too much to lose, he decided to retire as lawman around 1867, electing to put his education to use and become a doctor instead, moving to Tompkins' district, just appointed US Marshal of Colorado. Marisol remained behind in Columbus with the grandparents.. In September of 1876, he took over a small clinic in [[:Category:Babylon|another town]], well away from the bad guys that plagued him in Ohio. There, he built up a successful business and gained reputation as a healer.</p>
