Saint of Killers

==Summary==
In the mist of the American Civil War, an unnamed bloodthirsty soldier helped the confederates to win the Battle of Gettysburg. People witnessed his violent acts and feared him, even after the war had ended. Except for one woman. She believed there was more to him than killing, and was eager to prove it. They married and had a daughter. However, by the time the kid was 8 years old, she and the mother fell ill. Medicine was one week away, so he took his horse and traveled to the nearest city to buy it.
Unfortunately, he was caught in an ambush by a group of bandits on the way back. He fended them off, but the leader and a couple of his men managed to escape. The husband's horse was shot dead, making him walk his way home. By the time he got there, the crows were already feeding on their corpse. Fueled by rage, the man returned to the town in order to kill the one who delayed his arrival. Once again, they weren't much of a challenge for him, but he damned his soul after wasting his last bullet on an innocent woman. The leader took the chance by knocking him to the ground and stabbing him through the heart with a shovel.
After all the bad he's done, his soul was sent to Hell, so he could be punished by his sins. Although, Hell wasn't prepared for him. His cold heart froze the fires of Hell, infuriating Satan. He tried beating the hatred out of the unnamed man, but with no avail. The former Angel of Death tried to strike a deal with the man. He could leave Hell, but under one condition: he would work in the Angel's place. He accepted it. After his new guns were forged by the melted steel of the sword of the Angel of Death, he claimed his new name, Saint of Killers.
