Rex, who always strives to uphold the law in the name of justice and righteousness; however, as much as he tries to be a good sheriff, the West always has its way, corrupting Good men and turning them into scoundrels, murderers, thieves, and killers. Unfortunately, Rex is no different, even though Rex never enjoys taking a life. Most of the time, he has no choice. He has buried over 179 outlaws in the span of about 7 years. Hell, many even come after him personally after hearing his reputation, always trying to take down the top dog, but never succeeding.

Rex wasn't always like this, though his father was a man who believed in absolute justice,

His father, David Wulf, was also a sheriff, A good one too, until his heart shadowed over time. The West did what it does best and turned a good man into a black hearted sheriff who killed without mercy.

Rex remembers very well his own treatment at the hands of his father. He was raised to be brutally efficient and merciless, just like his father. Rex always hated getting compared to his father; at the same time, he very much loved and cared for his father. Despite everything his father put him through in his developmental stage of life, Rex still took care of him.

Often carrying his dad to bed, even when he was horribly drunk and abusive, he was the only parent Rex had left. So he still did very much respect his father for taking care of him, so he cleaned the house, did all his chores on time and still took care of his father all his harsh words and abuse toward Rex, but Rex knows there's just as much pain in his father as he was in When he lost his mother that was the night rex's father's number was the same my mother when Rex was about seven years old his mother was killed by outlaws out of revenge against rex's father for arresting their leader.

After his mom's funeral, Rex's father, David, disappeared for a couple of days, only to come back drenched in blood, the blood of outlaws. His dad even brought home a gift the man who shot rex's mother Tied up in the back dangling from his feet his arms were severed off yeah his father forcibly took rex outside With a gun and made Rex fire and kill his first outlaw.

Even though the outlaw had raped and murdered women even killed his mother despite the rage Rex felt for this man it still left Rex traumatized and sick in his gut for days even having nightmares about having to deliver the killing shot.

After this, Rex could barely recognize his father in the man he had become. Anytime Rex disobeyed, He would get severely beaten. His father, who used to be a loving and caring man, went mad and disappeared. Rex never saw his father again.

His father only left a note. David said he was going out to cleanse the west of its wickedness.

After weeks and months of no information on his father, David Wulf's formerly white sheriff's hat was found weeks later, covered in blood.

However, the body was never found again And his story was buried as another man fell into the madness of the West and got himself killed, leaving Rex alone to brave the West alone.

Rex always tries to be a better example of what a good sheriff should be. Still, even after only 10 years as sheriff and with the legend and fear his name brings nowadays, it's clear he's far from what he wanted himself to be and closer to what his father wanted him to be at the age of 22.
