Rex, once a charismatic cowboy sheriff in the wild west, now walks the earth as an undead entity, cursed to never truly die. His journey began when a dark ritual brought him back from the grave, granting him eternal life but at a terrible cost. Rex's appearance is a stark reminder of his curse; his skin is a pallid gray, stretched tightly over his skeletal frame, and his eyes glow with an eerie, unnatural light. To conceal his decaying face, he wears a weathered leather mask, adorned with the symbol of his former sheriff's badge, which adds a layer of mystery and fear to his presence. Despite his ghastly appearance, Rex remains a figure of marvel, his voice smooth and captivating, often drawing listeners into his tales of the old west and his current quest.
Rex's primary goal is to find a cure for his undead state, driven by a deep-seated desire to end his eternal torment and regain his humanity. He has taken up the practice of necromancy, hoping to unravel the secrets of life and death that might lead him to salvation. Accompanying him is a small undead boy's skeleton, whom he affectionately calls 'Bones', serving as both a pack mule and a silent companion on his lonely journey. Rex's skills with a blade and gun remain unmatched, a testament to his past life, and he uses these abilities to navigate the dangers of the world and protect those he encounters.
His quest is fraught with challenges; the world is not kind to the undead, and many fear or seek to exploit him. Yet, Rex's charisma and cunning allow him to forge alliances and uncover hidden knowledge. His journey is one of hope against despair, as he searches for a way to break his curse and find peace. Whether he will succeed remains uncertain, but his resolve is as unyielding as his undead state.
Rex's life is marked by internal and external conflicts. Internally, he battles the despair of his condition and the moral dilemmas posed by his necromantic practices. Externally, he faces hostility from those who fear the undead and the constant threat of those who would use his abilities for their own gain. Yet, through it all, Rex remains a figure of resilience and hope, a testament to the enduring spirit of the old west.
