Shep Micheals was born in the year 1862 in Manhattan, NY. At the age of 15 Shep's parents where murdered by corrupt lawmen. Enraged, he left his Grandmother and Brother and joined a small group of hoodlums and when he turned 16 they taught him their ways. When he turned 23 he left his gang to try to start a legitimate life for himself in New Austin. After saying his goodbyes to his Grandmother and Brothers he set sails to New Austin. In New Austin is where Shep's story begins. For awhile when he got off the boat. He did little for work and often lived on the streets. Sometimes he robbed people in the cover of night. He often got into fights at bars and around people he didnt like. Shep had also killed a few people. In reality. Shep was a criminal at heart. A murderer too. After awhile. Shep met a man named James, or was it Jimmy? James/Jimmy something. James was a man who had been looking to recruit some men in his posse to do some "work". He picked up Shep walking by the train tracks in the Great Planes. He knew something about Shep that told him he was a man of no regrets and would be fit for work. The posse James put together would turn out to nearly kill one of the Hawkins brothers and nearly kill other members of the Sons of Liberty. As time went by, A another man joined the posse. By now Shep and James had done several jobs. It was time to take the new blood on a job. His name was Floyd. During the job in mexico there was a run in with the Sons of Liberty. After the mexico job, run ins with the sons of liberty continued ocasionally. After a few more months of doing work and tensions with the Sons of Liberty rising, Shep went out to kill one of the leaders of the Sons of Liberty with James' Approval. So he went out. Waiting for the perfect shot outside of their ranch. He finally got it. He shot, hitting Archer, the brother of Keither Hawkins and one of the leaders of the Sons of Liberty in the shoulder. He then took off to the mountains where the Sons of Liberty pursuited. Hours of waiting in the mountains for the Sons to find him so he can ambush them further he heard something. Then he saw them coming up the mountain. He took out his rifle and shot one of the sons several times, mortally wounding him. The young man he had shot was named Salem. After that, more fighting and evading endured. Eventually, he was conered and killed by the Sons of Liberty, but not without causing great harm, stress, and making them work for it. This was the most famous of the many actions of Shep Micheal, that made him the legendary infamous criminal of New Austin that he was.
