Carl Cershew, born the son of Mother Mary Hale and Father Allen Cershew.
Carl was born in the small town of Dawncrest’s Heart, to Mother Mary Hale and Father Allen Cershew. Carl was the oldest of 2 siblings, Sara and Robert.
Carl grew up in a modest house in Dawncrest’s Heart and had a happy childhood with several friends.
Carls father was a farmer, and his mother a seamstress, they sold their goods and wares to the larger towns of Mirror’s Edge and Duskdance, and occasionally traveling to the city’s of Dawncrest and Silverstar.
Occasionally the soldiers of the larger cities would pass through Dawncrest’s Heart to rest on their patrols or when they would be on their way to a battle, Carl always wanted to be as strong and as interesting as those soldiers were. Through the years Carl was able to train with his friend Alik Craig and his father Dale, becoming quite handy with a sword and shield.
But one day when carl was 14 a stranger came to town that took a liking to Carl and became almost a mentor in some ways, teaching him the ways of a bounty hunter and possibly the thing that changed Carl’s direction in life, how to use a gun. Carl trained for over a year with the stranger and soon became one of the best shooters in his small town. When Carl turned 16 the stranger gave him his gun as a present, but the next morning left the small town leaving Carl to his own devices.
Wanting to follow in the strangers footsteps he became a gun for hire, seeing how lucrative that could be quickly got the taste for fame and fortune. His family was not thrilled with his choice of work as it was dangerous, they wanted him to take over the family farm as his father became ill and not able to produce the same amount of food each harvest and bringing in less money every year.
His mother tried to get Carl to stay home and help the family has his siblings were still too young to help out. Carl didn’t listen and left home to seek out dangerous creatures and bounties and also earn a name for himself, but before he left his mother disowned him, saying he was a disgrace to the family and to never come back. Being young and stupid Carl left to become a famous bounty hunter just like the stranger that trained him.
After a few years of being on the road, and selling his gun to whoever had the money that’s when the War started, and this was finally his chance to show all he learned and become a soldier, to prove himself as a man and to finally come back to his family as a man who helped save the countryside.
Carl managed to survive the war, but not without injuries, he decided to go back home in the hopes that now after helping and serving maybe his family would accept him again. Only when he went back, he found that his family was no longer there, the family home and farm run by another family. Asking around town to his friends he found that his father had died not long after he left, causing his mother to lose the house and being force to move with his siblings.
Carl searched all over to try and find his family, he heard tales that his sister became a musician and that his brother might have become a soldier, but he was never able to find them and is still searching to this day.
Carl then found himself really alone and started traveling from town to town hoping to find his family and over the years found himself in the saloons before asking if anybody had seen his family, then slowly only saloons.
