Biography: He was born Thomas Cole Smith jr. to Thomas Smith senior, and Ekta White-Feather. He grew up in a Christian household with an alcoholic father. He was a soldier in the Civil war before he’d met Ekta, and took her from her tribe as a wife. Ekta took it meekly, in her own way. But she was the main force in his raising. She secretly raised him in her native beliefs and ways, teaching him how to track and survive in the wilderness. She cared for and nurtured him during his fathers outbursts.

At the age of 17 his father had a particularly bad outburst, pushing his mother down the stairs, killing her. Thomas watches it happen, he watched his mother fall, saw her neck snap on the landing. He watched his father stumble down after her in shock, realizing what he’d done. He watched as his father cradled his mothers lifeless body in his arms. He watched as his father put his Army service .45 six-gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger.

After that he left home, taking from his mothers room anything that was connected to her native roots, and from his father, a Winchester rifle, a hunting knife, a tomahawk, and the pistol that killed him. For the years following it he roamed the west, taking odd jobs here and there, tracking, hunting, and translating. During these years he became an alcoholic, it nearly killed him. That is, until he had his spirit vision. His vision showed him drowning in a brown river, with the bodies of his mother and father dragging him under. A large hawk swooped down, plucking him from the river like a fish. Depositing him in its nest of black thorns, it disappeared. Most would call this a fever dream born from an alcoholic stupor and catatonic state he induced in himself after a bender. But after that he kicked booze and took the name Cole Black-Thorn.

From that day he began to take a brighter outlook on life, and on his skills and heritage. He became a crack shot with the Winchester, preferring to not use the pistol that killed his father unless he absolutely has to. Taking instantly to the tomahawk he trained relentlessly with that and the knife, winning several competitions and fights with the tomahawk alone. Like any man, he was always up for making a little extra money. And the notion of Spanish gold being guarded by an old Myan curse interested him greatly. Since that day he’d been hunting the gold. Many a time coming close but never quite making it.
