important event timeline

Ebenezer has never been one on the right side of the law. His family owned an inn in Verthold, but that all changed under the Snowclaw administration. The inn was siezed from them and given to those in favour with the Snowclaw family. The seizure was not without bloodshed, and Ebenezer's father, also called Ebenezer, lost his mother and sister that day. This scarred both the child and his father, Wullie. Wullie turned to drink and thuggery, often being locked up for insobriety or common assault. This rubbed off onto Ebenezer senior, who turned to petty crime and thuggery.


Despite his deplorable nature, Ebenezer Snr managed to woo a foolish lass from the Pinemarsh to be his bride. Belle (for that was her name) bore him a son, this Ebenezer, but he gave her no love. Despite trying her best, Belle was unable to cope with the bi-weekly beatings and constant abuse, and took her own life when Junior was but three years old. Junior also saw no love from his father, and fled when he was but eight.


The son turned out better than his father, but not by much. For the son had smarts, and instead of dealing purely in brute force, though he is capable and not afraid to resort to it, Ebenezer Junior became a conman, sometimes operating what could be considered a legitimate trade, entertaining crowds with sleight-of-hand and other acts of showmanship, other times running more conventional con games, or flogging so called "miracle cures."

Ebenezer spends most of his time travelling from town to town in his caravan. It is said he has a bird with a bairn in every town, and three in each city, though he did settle in Three-Forks for a time towards the end of the Snowclaw era, running a gambling ring. This was brought to an end, however, shortly after the arrival of the Watsons. Sikes fled, figuring that he could return in a few months, having been forgotten about, as had happened in many other cities. However, he was soon recognised and held at His Lordship's Pleasure until he managed to con a guard out of his keys and escape. After this event, Sikes briefly joined Snowclaw's forces, though these were the dying days of the war, him barely receiving his weapon before the end of conflict. After this he returned to life on the road.

Though a conman, Sikes has not been afraid to end the paths of lonely travellers upon remote roads, relieving them of their treasures. Though perhaps his greatest treasure was not found by one who had fallen at his own hand, as one day he chanced a woman fallen at the side of the road. Searching her lifeless corpse he found her without much in the way of valuables, but clutching a small bundle of cloth, in which lay an infant, no more than a few weeks old.

Sikes took pity on this bairn and raised the child as if it were his own, though not giving her his surname. Ruby knew from an early age the truth of her birth, or at least what Sikes knew. She did not mind, and still called Ebenezer "Daddy". Ruby turned out to have a penchant for acrobatics, and so Sikes employed her as a performer in their travelling shows, and as a sneaky thief, a trade he was too bulky to pursue himself. The child also had somewhat of a sadistic streak to her, and so Sikes gave her a few pointers in the art of assassination.

Together the pair continue to travel the country, as the Fantasic Sikes and the Amazing Ruby, their travelling circus bringing joy to the people they meet, and relieving them of their coin.
