Bio: Jonah Hex's life was one of misery and pain. His life as a
child was one which was close to unbearable. He had an alcoholic father
and a showgirl for a mother. Jonah Hex was sold by his father, while
still in the western equivalent of diapers, to child workers to work in
the mines. While working in the mines, he had his facial features
savagely and deliberately deformed by said captors, in penance for a
crime of which he was singularly innocent. Hex was able to escape and
began to live on his own. He relied on his own wits and bleak outlook to
survive from day to day. He soon discovered he had a natural talent for
gun-slinging and decided to become a bounty hunter. Hex had his own
sense of honor, which was blunt and straight to the fact, which can be
summed up in this quote, said by Hex:
"I will always attempt to Do the Right Thing... even it means killing
every last man, woman and child in this here town, twice over."
