Personal history
Gunther Schmidt was born in New York in 1870 to a German man and a Polish woman who settled there only a few years prior. Gunther's Father was a Cobbler and his mother stayed home and took care of him.
In 1873 Gunther's Mother gave birth to his Sister, Klara Schmidt. Gunther and Klara got along quite well and rarely were in disagree.
Gunther's father began to raise Gunther in the trade of cobbling but Gunther never enjoyed it. Gunther always lingered for excitement and adventure, Gunther would also tell his Sister about what kind of life he wants. Klara would slowly also grow an interest in adventure and would grow even closer to Gunther through this.
In 1884, when Gunther was 14, his father taught him how to defend himself. His Father took him outside of the city and taught him to shoot and ride a horse, Gunther was a quick learner in these aspects, Gunther's Sister would also watch him from afar and also eventually learn to shoot and ride. Gunther was also taught to play Poker around this time and would take a liking to it.
In 1888 Gunther was wandering the streets of New York when he saw 2 men and a woman walk into an alley behind another man. Curious, Gunther followed and watched as they mugged the man, the three were Eva Kildahl, Jon Freeman, and Bobby Francis. Gunther approached the three saying that he wants to help them get out unnoticed, they obliged and went with him, they ended up outside of the city without anyone tailing them. The three would thank Gunther but would not offer him a spot in their Gang, not yet at least. Gunther told Klara about his experience and she was also interested in working with these mysterious people. A short while later the two would see Jon and Eva in a saloon not far from where they lived. Gunther said to the two that he and his Sister wanted to join the Gang. Eva said yes but Jon didn't trust them, Eva insured that they are trustworthy and the four set course for their main camp at the time in Chicago, even though it was a long ride Gunther believed it to be worth it. Gunther and Klara were introduced to the Black Bison Gang in late September, 1888.
In 1896 the Black Bison Gang were confronted by the Paul Brothers Gang, the gang wanted to take the money that the Black Bison Gang got from a payroll train in New Austin. The two gangs got into a shootout were Gunther was tackled by a member of the Paul Brothers Gang who would attempt to slash him with his knife. Gunther was not killed by the man but was slashed across the face and was left with a permanent scar across hid face.
In 1897 Gunther went out to collect mail from gang associates as well as to go to the saloon when he was approached by Mitch "Maltas" McGriddle, an old member who left on good terms in 1895. The two would chat about their current lives and how the Black Bisons have been doing since Mitch was gone. During this interaction the camp belonging to the Black Bisons located near Blackwater was ambushed by the Pinkerton Detective Agency and the Ricky Paul Gang, almost all of the members were either killed or captured, Gunther's sister was able to escape but was to far gone to be found. Gunther and Mitch would ride back at a later date to find that the camp was decimated and very little was left, Gunther and Mitch were both scarred by this event and Gunther would slowly develop PTSD from the guilt of not being there.
In 1898 Gunther would become a bounty hunter, using his talents in sharpshooting and horseback riding for money. Gunther would also collect a fair amount of infamous bounties in this time, capturing the likes of The Wolf Man and Etta Doyle.
