Jonah Hex

Jonah Hex was a legendary bounty hunter on the American western frontier in the 19th Century.

Origins

 Main article: Jonah Hex Origins

Jonah was born to father Woodson Hex and mother Virginia Hex on November 1, 1838. Raised by his alcoholic father, Jonah was a regular victim of physical abuse as a child. His father eventually stopped supporting him and sold him into slavery with an Apache tribe at the age of 13 during 1851. They worked him constantly until one day, in 1853, when he saved their chieftain from a puma, and he was welcomed as a full-fledged member of the tribe. The chief took Jonah in as his own son, but his adopted brother Noh-Tante grew jealous. Noh-Tante shared Jonah's affections for a young girl named White Fawn, so in 1854 he betrayed his brother during their manhood rite at the age of 16 and left Jonah for dead with their enemies the Kiowa. He is rescued by Cavalry patrollers, who were hunting scalps of Native Americans to Fort Hastings for $ 25 each (a fortune at the time); they shoot him in the gut when he tries to stop their slaughter on two Kiowa kids. Left for dead a second time, he is nursed back to health by an old trapper in the woods. Returning to his tribe's camp, he finds them long since gone.

《Origin》

:gun: :gun: :gun:

Jonah Woodson Hex was the son of an abusive, drunk father. After a few years of caring for Hex, Woodson Hex (Jonah's father) decided to cease caring for Hex.

Woodson sold him to an Apache tribe for slavery. They worked him 24/7. That is until he saved the chief from a puma. Then the chief took him in as his own son, and cared for Hex like he did his own son, Noh-Tante.

But Jonah and Noh-Tante had an ongoing rivalry for a girl in the same tribe named White Fawn. Eventually, at the age of 16, Noh-Tante betrayed Hex by leaving him for dead right in front of their enemies, the Kiowa tribe.

Luckily, he is rescued by a Calvary patrol. Unluvkily, they shot him in his stomach because he attempted to stop the slaughter they had there.

He was left for dead, again, but luckily, again, he was rescued by an old hunter and nursed back to health.

When Jonah was back to good health, he went back to the base of his tribe, only to find that they were all long gone.

Later on, he joined the confederate States army, but not because he wasn't against slavery, but because his homeland was being invaded.

Jonah soon went to the general of the Union army to make stop attacking his homeland. But the plan backfired; they took him as a prisoner and put a burning tomahawk to his face until he gave up the locations of a base, but he never gave the locations. He didn't want to get one of his closest friends, Jeb Turnbull, killed.

Sadly, they managed to trace the locations of the men by the mud on his shoes and the footprints. They then invaded Jonah's friends and comrades.

Jonah eventually returned to his village after finding them in 1866, only to find that Noh-Tante had married White Fawn. He accused Noh-Tante of betraying him to the chieftain, but he doesn't believe him. So he puts Jonah and Noh-Tante to fight to the death.

Noh-Tante had sabatoged Hex's tomahawk in the battle
