Background

Jeff was born Nov 7, 1961 in Florida, where his father was Governor. His father served as governor for 5 years before losing an election. The campaign cost the family a great deal of money, and his father committed suicide. He and his mother moved in with relatives, Jeff left home at 15 and settled in the small Texas town or Rock Creek, where he homesteaded and wored odd jobs around town. He met and courted Mary Smith, attended church, and was to all viewers a quite, salt-of-the-earth young man. He would have settled down, married, and had a passel of children if not for two events.
One winter, he was snowed in. After chopping wood and melting snow for water, there wasn't much to do, all he had was a deck of cards and a book of Hoyle's he'd picked up in town. After reading and re-reading, he found something strange, coded messages. The long and short of it was, by the time spring thaw rolled around, Jeff was a nacent Huckster. He kept his abilities to himself, and again had a chance of a quiet life, if not for the Barnes brothers.

The Barnes brothers and their gang came to town, but they weren't looking for trouble. Rock Creek was to small and poor to tempt them, the were planning on robbing the bank in the next town over. But one of the gang got a little to friendly with a local girl. Her beau objected, and there was gunfire. Rock Creek didn't have a sherrif, but somebody had to do something, and that was Jeff. Between his hexes, the Barnes outlaws overconfidence, and sheer dumb luck he lived, and they died.

For a while, Jeff was the local hero, at least while he recuperated. But after, things were different. This quiet, church going young man had killed half a dozen men. Conversations stilled when he came to town. Mary said she had no idea he could kill like that. The straw was the "Waco Kid" who came to town looking to make a name for himself. Jeff put a .45 cal round into the Kid's leg and rode out the next day, hoping to find a quite life somewhere else. Unfortunatly, a muckraker wrote a story, and Jeff was the kind of man who helped others if he could.
