El Destripador

This Journal follows Conner "Rem" Bossert, AKA "The Ripper of Rhodes".
Backstory: Conner was born into a mixed-race family, with his father being a white union soldier and his mother being a cuban refugee. His mother was forced into marriage in return for sanctuary from the white man. At the age of 10 he watched as his father marched off to claim the western frontier never to return.

As Conner grew, he became adventurous, always seeking new thrills. Eventually he grew tired of his boring simple life and joined the U.S. Military against his mother's wishes. Upon his arrival he was judged for not being like everyone else. The soldiers would beat him and call him names, but it was nothing he hadn't endured before when his father was around. After receiving his training, he was immediately assigned to a regiment in Scarlett Meadows tasked with the apprehension of any remaining natives of Lemoyne. One night when all the soldiers were asleep one of the native scouts snuck in the camp and killed one of the soldiers. They retaliated by raiding their camp the next morning and slaughtering the men, women, and children. This would go on to be known as "The Battle of Scarlett Meadows". Horrified by the atrocities that his men were capable of, he fled.

On the run and labeled a deserter, he decided to return home to his mother, but learned that she had passed due to cholera. With nowhere to go and no one left, he crossed the border into Mexico where an old man took him in. The old man was a notorious gunslinger who's days were numbered on account of his health. He taught Rem everything he knew until his time finally came and he died. Rem would go on to make his living robbing stage coaches and trains, stealing from the wealthy and giving back to the poor. Eventually he decided to return to the states seeking redemption for his part in the battle, but all he found was more bloodshed.

This is his story...
