Chip Carr was a good Mormon boy. He didn’t drink or gamble. He didn’t attend the local dances, he was never alone with a girl and he didn’t touch guns. But folks didn’t take so kindly to having a group of Mormons living nearby. The day came when a posse road in and slaughtered them all, citing the deaths of their family members in the Meadows Mountain Massacre. Chip was in town. He came back to bodies and fire. Everyone said it was the Comanche. Chip didn’t buy it. He knew the local tribes. Was friendly with them. They didn’t do this. But he had nobody to turn to. So he turned to drink. He gave up all his beliefs and became a bandit and a drunk. Half dead in a gutter he was found by an old man. The old man, it transpired, was legendary gunslinger Hawke Brannigan. Hawke gave Chip a new lease on life. See, Hawke had a grudge with local the local sheriff. As it turned out, it was that very sheriff who had lead the raid that killed Chip’s family. Chip cleaned himself up and, by day, was the good Mormon boy. At night, Brannigan taught him to wield duel pistols. Thus, the Rodeo Kid was born. He fought injustice and corruption. Until a time-travelling stranger arrived in town. Chip helped the man and tended to his wounds as the man tried to build a time machine. Chip didn’t believe his story but liked and helped him none-the-less. But in time it became clear the man was no true friend. He was a fiend. A fiend by the name of Eternus. When Eternus finished his machine and fled back to his own time, Chip tried to stop him. And thus, the Rodeo Kid was brought into the 20th century.
