* MysteriousPast: We don’t ever get to find out all that much about Shane, other than that he was a gunslinger at some point in his past. We don’t know where he is from originally, where he was coming from at the start of the story or what led him to try and give up his past violent life. Hell, even his name is a mystery; is it a first name, his last name or an alias/pseudonym?
