History
Rex Marksley was born in the Western United States, presumably in the mid-to-late 1800s. He showed a proficiency with guns at a young age when he shot holes in bean cans while they were in the pantry, and subsequently shot all the nails out of the fence, setting his family's cows loose. Rex was also gifted in engineering.



As an adult, he became a gun for hire and accomplished many amazing feats--among them, disarming forty bandits with only two gunshots, taming and riding enormous vultures, teaching all the jackalopes to yodel in harmony, and defeating the demon train, copper ore golem and the Rattlesnake King. He became renowned for his amazing marksmanship, heroism and kindness.

According to legend, Rex died an old man on the prairie.
