Colton Cardinal

Originally known as Colton John, was born in Pennsylvania to Margret and David John. Colton childhood wasn't the easiest at the age of 12 his father put him to work for the local mining company, to which he endured for 5 years. His father had since quit his job and stole the wages Colton had made as contributing to the family, though most the wages was spent on drinking and gambling. One night David John had come home after a night of drinking and gambling, and on losing streak was frustrated. From the other room Colton had heard his father yelling at his mother as usual but suddenly heard what sounded like a gun shot and rushed to find his mother dead on the floor. Without thinking he charged his father, who drowsy from the alcohol probably didn't realize what he had done and took his father's life. In a panic he had left a note for the law, grabbed his belongings, which consisted of a bear's skull he had collected from a hunting trip along with the family's cash stash and basic needs of survival, he ran from home. Finding himself heading west he stopped in a small county where he had become a gunsmith's apprentice under a man named Ryan White. It all seemed quiet at first, the work kept him busy from the memories of his past. He met many people some more friendly than others due to the line of work he chose, but peace was never going to stick around for him. He started with petty crime which would sink him down a rabbit hole of trouble he needed to hide his identity. With the bear skull he had brought, he put together a mask covered in blood. Things were going well at first till he started slipping into madness and started to wear the mask on a daily, even identifying as Colton while wearing the mask. His boss Ryan didn't care to much as long as business was as usual. One faithful day he had met a woman of the name, Penelope Hart a Horse Trainer, who was just any other customer at first. Till they started seeing each other more frequent, almost on a daily basis. One day that county had opened up a boat fare to Guarma, to which they took a vacation trip from their jobs, where he had proposed, and they became engaged. Tho all was looking great the law had caught up to Colton's shenanigans and they moved to a new county, in hopes a more peaceful life. Buying a Gunshop in a town called Rhodes. Unfortunately, Colton's obsession with his mask only had gotten worst, and slowly over time his pass had been haunting him. He didn't tell a soul not even his fiancé, becoming more selfish and ruder even to the one he claimed to love. Starting up a gang called the Cardinals soon becoming a moonshine kingpin. Though he knew deep down it was just a 2 man show with others coming and going, only to soon fail and split up. His life was falling apart, and his mental well-being wasn't getting any better, pushing away friends and even including his fiancé. He had made a not-so-great impression with the Rasutto family, who had kidnapped a member of the Crooked Crew (which he had joined in a rush for cash) Mrs. Sins. Notifying Steve Williams and Red Yango via mail of the situation before him due to them being the 2 he trusts the most with his life before walking into the most obvious of traps. Unfortunately he had not saved Mrs. Sins nore himself and as his back up ambushed the Risotto's, they quickly made work and took out Colton with a bullet to the brain. Luckily Steve and Red where some of the top marksman around and took out all the members of the family, Rushing Colton to the doctors he had gone through extensive surgery and falling into a coma only to wake up with long term memory loss and not knowing his own last name. Will his past haunt his dream once again causing him to remember his life or will he be a new man enjoying a peaceful new life.
