 Bio: Well this one is a bit of a surprise since for all intense and purposes Big Daddy DiCane was dead and buried back in the summer of 2018. The Gunfighter was supposed to have fallen during an attack on the natives and his death blamed on the Great Ghost Dance, witch lead to multiple generations of DiCane’s taking up arms against the Natives and the citizens of Aztlan. Also everyone thought that Big Daddy was nothing more then a simple businessman and former law enforcement officer, just trying to run his families general store and manage the family farm. Well it seems that even the patriarch of the DiCane’s was hiding a very tormented and troubled past, this once thought hero of Texas seems that he was really much more sinister and was far more deadly then anyone had ever imagined. Why Big Daddy faked his own death is a mystery, but without the death of the Gunfighter Texas would not be like it is today. In the wake of Big Daddies death came the Texas Elite and caused Texas to rise up and become a serious contender within the Sons of the True Confederacy. Big Daddy might have figured out that his family and friends would rise to avenge his senseless death and they would be better off not knowing that he was a highly skilled soldier and warrior of the shadows. Maybe he knew that his time had passed and he needed to slip away into the shadows allowing his kin to rise to greatness, well whatever the reason for his disappearance it worked and Big Daddy was able to watch his family rise to greatness an become a serious force to be reckoned with.

         Though this is all fine and dandy, but the Gunfighter didn’t stay in the shadows and has recently come back to play, this master of the iron has thrown his hat into the ring once again and has come out shooting. The Gunfighter emerged from the shadows sometime after the cousin Joshua defected to Aztlan and the murder of his son Michael DiCane before the second battle in Seattle. Though you would suspect that Big Daddy would have arrived in Seattle and avenged is son’s murder, no he just seemed to pick up where he left off fighting against the Aztlan citizens and fighting for the spirit of Texas. This man has laid a path of destruction all throughout the Aztlan Texas boarder and doesn’t seem to be slowing down, do to all the chaos this old desperado is causing in southern Texas he is no longer able to stay concealed and has garnered the attention of the authorities on both sides of the fence. Big Daddy is no longer trying to remain the good old southern gentlemen he was back prior to 2018 and has adopted the more violent side of his linage. He might wear white, but this cowboy is acting more like an outlaw in black then a hero in white so hopefully this isn’t a sign of things to come with the rest of the DiCane’s.

        The problem with trying to decipher and locate any real information about Big Daddy other then what can be found in the public records is nigh imposable since everything was lost during the Data Crash of 29′ and we are left only with speculations, rumours and old tales being spun by the old times that spew tales of a legendary gunfighter that rode the Texas plains in the early part of the century. Other then that we are left, with records that show he was a police officer, businessman, rancher, husband and father. According the the records we have, Big Daddy was active in his church, very proactive in his children’s lives, a loving husband and a strict disciplinarian. So really as a reporter I am left in the lurch when trying to report on a man that was thought to have been deceased for over fifty years and yet has managed to surpass any skill he had as a younger man.

       So as for Big Daddies agenda, well one can only assume that he is seeking vengeance and will be fighting for Texas. He has already been accepted into the Son’s of the True Confederacy and has been given an automatic position inside the Texas Elite without going through the nearly lethal training period. Big Daddy is back and he is here to stay it seems, this outlaw will continue to send poor souls to Boot Hill till he is stopped and it seems that he is not going to be slowing down any time soon.

       His skills and abilities well this man has been able to to train and home his skills and become far deadlier then he has ever been. The Gunfighter has obviously continued to work as the pistols he dual wields are worth millions each and the armour he is wearing is straight out of the DAOD catalogue. Not to mention the cyber and bio-organic implants that he has are of unknown make and origin, so it seems that this old timer is chop full of the cutting edge equipment and is fully ready to make a name for himself on today’s battlefield. We have no idea where he acquired his vast fortune and what operations he has been on since there are no records of Big Daddy being in operation since before 2018 and to be equipped like he is can be quite disconcerting since nobody is that good to stay off the radar for over fifty years without making even the slightest ripples. For crying out load he has a state of the art tactile computer, those things are not cheap and anyone that has one of those monsters implanted has mad enough waves to at least be on someone’s radar. The Gunfighter is on no one’s radar and he is obviously not working for the government and has zero love for the Natives and Aztlan citizens so who is he working for and who has he worked for in the past is a mystery that really does need to be solved.

        Big Daddy DiCane is alive and well, and his death was nothing more then a blanket lie that has caused the entire DiCane family to get involved in the fight against the innocent natives for generations and has caused the needless deaths of countless Aztlan citizens. Hopefully for all parties involved Big Daddy stays put in Texas and doesn’t venture north to take on the UCAS and join the rest of his kin that are all north of the Mason Dixon line. Though you can bet that Big Daddy will most likely head north the deal with the murder of his son Michael also known as the Renegade and to visit his long lost friend Benjamin Mathews who is currently residing inside Seattle. The two men once served together in the Army and as well worked as partners for almost ten years in the Dallas Fort Worth Police Department, before the Gunfighter was injured in the line of duty and forced to retire. Mathews left Texas for Seattle and the Gunfighter retired to the simple life.

        Well in conclusion Big Daddy is back and he is already quenching his blood lust by slaughtering the innocent souls that have taken up residence on or near the boarder. The Federalizes of Aztlan and the Texas Rangers have already taken an interest in Big daddy and so has the UCAS authorities, where the CSA government is ignoring the pleas of the citizens of southern Texas and President Davis has forbidden Lone Star from actively seeking the Gunfighter and has already made a broad statement that if the Gunfighter is taken into custody he will instantly sign the pardon papers to guarantee the speedy release of the Gunfighter into the custody of the SOTC. So lets hope the authorities that are seeking to bring down the Gunfighter and bring this lawless man to justice are able to kill him, and bring Big Daddy to his untimely demise for real this time.
