Zagor

Zagor is the main protagonist of Zagor comic books, created by Sergio Bonelli.
Zagor was born as Patrick Wilding, the son of Betty and Mike, an army official. However, Patrick's life gets turned upside down when he witnesses the death of his parents, at the hands of a band of Abenaki Indians, led by Salomon Kinsky. He gets adopted by a trapper by the name of "Wandering Fitzy", and soon he starts preparing to avenge his parents. By the training and guidance of Fitzy, who showed him how to make his signature hatchet, Patrick tracks down and brutally slaughters his parents killers. 
As he is about to enact his revenge on defeated Kinsky, Patrick is presented with the evidence of his father's dark past. Lieutenant Mike Wilding was a ruthless leader of the force which massacred the Abenaki community on the banks of Silver Lake, an event which saw him dishonorably discharged from the army. The attack on the Patrick's home on the shore of Clear Water river was, in fact, a rightful retribution for commander Wilding's wrongdoings. When Zagor was shocked and stunned by this revelation, Kinsky tries to shoot Patrick, but Patrick gets saved by Fitsky, who takes the shot for Patrick. Patrick gets devastated with pain and grief, as his understandings of good, bad and justice are brought into question, because his crimes mirrored the ones his dad did all those years ago. 
He ultimately decides to atone not only for his father's, but for his own sins as well, by adopting a new identity of Za-Gor-Te-Nay (Spirit with a Hatchet, shortened to Zagor), a kind hero who always protects those who cannot protect themselves, and who is constantly trying to end racism between the White people, Black people and the Native Americans. 
Moving his shack to an island surrounded by quick-sand in a marshy area of Darkwood Forest, Zagor begins his work as a peacemaker. He takes Darkwood tribes under his wing earning himself a distinction of the Lord of Darkwood, beloved and respected by peaceful natives and trappers, and feared and hated by anyone who would endanger the peace between reds and whites. He is constantly assisted several characters on his journey's, like the Fat Mexican Chico who is also his best friend, Tonka, his sworn brother and a Native American, Digging Bill, a pirate who is constantly looking for treasure, Captain Fishleg, a sailor, and many more.
