Mississippi X was orphaned at a very early age after his mother abandoned him to join a traveling religious cult. He wandered the Northwest Piracy alone for many years often burglarizing homes and businesses in search of food and valuables. At the age of 13, Mississippi was captured by a barbarous tribe of gangsters, who forced him to fight dangerous exotic animals for their entertainment. Realizing Mississippi’s true potential for success, one of the tribe’s most respected members, Captain Legacy, paid for Mississippi’s early release and took him on the road. They toured the Northwest Piracy for many years showing off Mississippi X’s incredible animal fighting skills. This touring event was named the Skylurker Circus. After many successful tours, Legacy purchased an old deserted zoo grounds. They converted it into holding cells for many exotic animals including, tigers, bears, rhinos, sharks, hippopatomalgarias, whalenarious, sandclops, and various other squirmites and foshbags. Through the years they hired many performers to entertain guests, but none of them even came close to Mississippi’s wild displays. Eventually Mississippi and Legacy grew tired of capturing and fighting animals. They shut down their operation and joined forces with The Merchants for Hire Agency where they would hunt something more interesting than wild animals: people.
