Van Pelt

Reginald Van Pelt was once a rare game hunter on the Dark Continent of Africa. He was with a group of his fellow British sharpshooters along the Ivory Coast, when they ran across a creature never seen by white man before. All except for Van Pelt were slain by the creature in the first few moments of the fight. Van Pelt took a ghastly wound to the leg, but managed to shove his rifle into maw of the beast, and blew its head apart. He spent the next year lost in the plains and jungles of Africa, being mercilessly pursued by a native tribe who called the giant beast God.

Van Pelt manages to find shelter in a Dutch enclave along the coast and makes his way by ship to the America's hoping to have eluded his pursuers, and to start a new life in a more civilized land, using his skills as a shootist, and a tracker.

Now, the formal british gentleman with a noticeable limp seeks to find a home, find safety from a dark past, following the way of the hunt....
