BACKGROUND OF RATTLESNAKE

NPC of William

Rattlesnake is the nickname of an outlaw by the name of Chico Cortez, who was called "Rattlesnake" because of his cold-blooded stare that makes a chill run up the spine of men he stares at and causes fear in his men. There is no reward poster on him anywhere because he is smart enough to order others to do his dirty work for him and he rides a black stallion that he simply calls "Outlaw". Rattlesnake is a big Mexican man that has black hair and eyes with a black moustache and no beard and wears double bandoleers that cross at his chest. His gunbelt is made of black leather inlaid with Mexican silver with two holsters in which are nestled two silver-plated Colt .45's with pearl handles. His black stallion sports reins and a saddle made of black leather inlaid with Mexican silver too.

Chico Cortez was born and raised in Mexico. As a young boy, his mother left home due to beatings by Chico's father when he was drunk, which was most of the time, so Chico inherited the beatings that Chico's mother wasn't there to receive. At the age of seventeen, Chico Cortez shot and killed his first man, his own father, and after taking his horse, weapons, gear, and money, he burned down the house with his father in it and rode off.

Chico Cortez formed a gang and raided villages for money, food, liquor, and women. His hardness and cold stare then got him the nickname, "Rattlesnake" and that name spread fear across Mexico until his name reached the Mexican government which sent troops out and drove Rattlesnake and his gang North across the border into the gringo country called, "The Old West".

Now, Rattlesnake continues to build his gang, which steals and kills for him as he works on his one and only goal in life. To return to Mexico some day with a huge army with the wealth and weapons needed to overthrow the Mexican government so Chico Cortez aka Rattlesnake can become the supreme dictator of Mexico.
