Details
Causa Vitæ
Bring his daughter out to the west with him, and give her a better life
Background
- Born in 1837, to a upper middleclass family.
- For reasons TBD, family moved West, to Columbus, OH, when he was a teen.
- Parents wanted him to go to have a proper education and he went to medical school
- ~1857
- Mom or dad or both were killed by bad people that were trying to extort his family
- Doc goes on killing spree a la "Punisher" and kills most of the bad guys earning him the nickname "The Butcher of Purgatory" (Noodle Incident)
- Chief Deputy US Marshal Charles C. Tompkins of the Southern Ohio District captures Doc and gives him a chance to capture the rest of the gang legally
- Doc becomes a deputy marshal and turns a new leaf to capture the remaining bandidos
- Doc becomes a respected lawman for several years; overlapping time of civil war
- Meets a nice Mexican girl and they get married, have 1 kid (Marisol, born 1863)
- Job is too hazardous, bad guys he puts in jail threaten his family; wife killed
- Doc feels he has too much to lose and decides to retire as lawman ~1867 and put his education to use and become a doctor; moved to Tompkins' district, just appointed US Marshal of Colorado
- Marisol remains in Columbus with the grandparents
- ## Sep 1876: He opens up or takes over a small clinic in another town away from the bad guys. Builds up successful business and gains reputation as doctor (Healer 3); not many people remember he was once the "butcher"
