Throughout his life he has gone through several professions - helping his parents run a brothel, a Cavalry Officer, a preacher, U.S. Marshal and most importantly - The Sheriff of Blackwater

History

Wyatt Earp formerly worked as a preacher in a small community - living with his beloved wife, Urilla. Earp grew up in the 1840s, living in a chaotic household with nine siblings. He quickly understood that he would be fairly neglected by his parents, who ran a brothel. He was insulted by other children due to his parents profession, and began to just neglect himself from his family. However, he formed a strong bond with several of his brothers in his childhood, particularly his eldest half-brother Newton and his younger brother Virgil. The three were rather good kids, but occasionally stirred up trouble in town. After the income of his parents brothel was not enough to support nine children, Earp's father enlisted in the military and fought as a confederate soldier for three years. However, after he found out that his wife was beginning to form a relationship with a local deputy in the town he is honorably discharged. He returns, and she requests a divorce. The two break up, and Wyatt, Virgil and Morgan are sent to live with their father, while the other four go to live with their mother. The boys are pressured to enlist in the military, however the civil war ends. He eventually joined the army, and worked under General Custer for several years. After he was lended a bible from a fellow officer, he decided it was his true passion to work as a man of god, and much like his father he was honorably discharged. He moved to a very small town in Missouri, which just so happened to be where his father was living. A few years later, his father died from cardiac arrest, and Earp's newly-wed wife - Urilla got typhoid fever. Earp was unaware of what the fever really was, and since there was no doctor in his town he decided to move Wyoming.
