Pecos Jake, the El Paso Kid
The second of five children born to a rural west Texas land agent. Both parents and all the younger siblings are dead now, but his older sister is still alive. They argue all the time, but when Gold Fever struck and he insisted on heading to the frontier with the next cattle drive, he promised to send her $240 to cover a family debt that's due in only five months.

They say that in the Black Horse Range War of 1868, Pecos Jake killed ten men in three days.
