[u][b]Summary:[/b][/u] A mysterious bounty hunter, outlaw and drifter, John Taylors is a quiet man with a riddled past. No one quite sure where he came from or what drives him to do the things he does, but he has been known to work on both sides of the law. In some counties people may recognize him as an honorable man of the law, while in other places he may be known as a murderer and thief. He has several outstanding bounties in several counties and is constantly pursued by bounty hunters. Whatever the case, John Taylors has ridden into Yornley with a young girl named Lillie Williams, and is on the warpath to find Butcher Bill.
[u][b]History:[/b][/u] John was the son of a rancher, and would inevitably grow up to become a rancher. The only practice he ever had with a gun was hunting, but even then he wasn't exactly special. His main skills included the ability to track animals, and he was a general survivalist, very knowledgeable in the wilderness: a true frontiersman. He grew up with and would later marry the young Catherine, who was two years younger than he was. John married her at the young age of 20, but only because Catherine became pregnant with his child. John continued to work on his father's ranch and hunted the local forests until he acquired enough cash to purchase his own parcel of land around the age of 22.

John, Catherine, and their young daughter Sofia would live on this parcel of land for the next five years. John's financial stability was actually quite decent, especially since his father loaned him a few cattle and other livestock to begin his career. His ranch was an important asset to the community and his family was well-received by the locals. Unfortunately, while John was away selling his wares, a gang of outlaws led by Cassius Green raided his ranch, brutally murdered his wife and daughter, and burned his ranch to the ground. John became a broken man and disappeared.

John had become a bounty hunter of sorts, trying to hunt down and capture anyone associated with Cassius Green. These efforts quickly labeled him a hero by some fo the populace. But then things got a bit murky. He began working [i]alongside[/i] some of the outlaws, but his excuse was that they too were rivals of Cassius Green and his gang. These actions labeled him an outlaw and attracted the ire of lawmen and bounty hunters. No one was quite sure which side of the law he was on.

At some point during this time he worked alongside the notorious Butcher Bill. Bill wasn't particularly fond of Cassius, but that's not why he worked with John. He [i]used[/i] John, tricking him into committing many dastardly deeds to find Cassius. John eventually saw through Bill and ditched his gang after a brief but heated argument.

John's life as a bounty hunter, outlaw, and drifter lasted for approximately three years. He would finally be captured by rival bounty hunter Brom Tollets, a stout and effective man. Instead of being locked up, however, John was given an opportunity. He was to track down and return a young girl named Lillie Williams to them. It wasn't exactly one of his natural targets but he agreed anyway, lest he be hanged for his crimes.

John set out to find this girl and it didn't take to long to locate her. He was preparing to bring her back to the government agents but quickly changed his course when the girl persuaded him to find Butcher Bill: the man who killed her family.

b]Summary:[/b] A naive, young girl, only the age of 12. Lillie's mother and father were murdered by Butcher Bill, and Lillie was taken to be ransomed off to a local sheriff. Lillie was rescued, however, by a bounty hunter named John Taylors. He then promised her that he would seek justice and take revenge on Butcher Bill, but perhaps something else was driving him. The duo has since made their way into Yornley.
b]History:[/b] Lillie was born to two God-fearing parents, both of whom attempted to raise her in the same way they had been. Lillie, however, had proved to be difficult. While she didn't show out or disrespect her parents, she never took an interest in the Lord or the Creator. She just wanted to live life to the fullest.

When her mother and father attempted to move out west in an effort to spread the Word of God, her caravan came under attack by none other than Butcher Bill. Many of the travelers were killed, including her mother and father. Lillie was the only child on the expedition and so when she was about to be killed Bill spared her life. He realized she was more use to him alive than dead. He had planned to ransom her off to the local sheriff for a large cash reward.

Fortunately for her, a bounty hunter by the name of John Taylors had been pursuing Butcher Bill and unknowingly rescued her. Bill held her hostage, forcing John to let him go, but the duo returned to town. John told her he was going to keep heading for Bill, but Lillie wanted to come as well to see him brought to justice. John refused to take her but ultimately chose to when she revealed she had overheard the description of his hideout out in Wissleon.

And so both individuals made their way to the town.
