They named him Striker, because the day he was born he was said
to have tried to hit the midwife. It's a name the young Cherokee
would live up to throughout his early years, carrying with him the
anger of watching his parents and best friend die on the Trail of
Tears. Landing at Fort Gibson an orphan, Striker spends the next
few years with other Cherokee children earning an education, and
developing a burning desire to kill white men. This craving builds
up inside of him to the point where he runs away from the school
and embarks on a journey that lands him as both an outlaw and a
lawman. He realizes that killing white men is better when it's legal,
but neither way cures the chronic pain in his legs for forever
"walking the trail."
