===Early Life===
Before he was Jamie Dutton, his name was Michael Randall. As an infant, he lived in the household of Garrett and Phyllis Randall. His mother was a junkie and his father was working to make ends meet. One day, Garrett walked in on his wife whoring herself off to some stranger while Jamie was crying because he was hungry and was sucking on some crack pipe. Infuriated, Garrett murdered his wife in order to save his child from the life he was living. He spent more than 3 decades in prison for the murder and Jamie was adopted by John and Evelyn Dutton. As a teen, he helped cover up a teenage pregnancy by taking Bethany to an abortion clinic on a Native American reservation that forcibly sterilized women by performing a hysterectomy without their consent, to avoid anyone seeing a Dutton in a clinic in a high populated place like Bozeman. Since that day, Beth and Jamie were entirely at odds primarily due to Beth losing her ability to produce children. He later went to law school to become a lawyer and got his law degree.
