Oceania: Clan Advisor<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Edward Courtney<\/a> doesn\u2019t remember much of his parents. He remembers leaving England and making his way with his family to America. While on the boat, there was a man carrying two guns. \u00a0Fascinated by the crucifix on the handle, he reached out.<\/span><\/p>\n

A rogue wave hit the boat, pulling Edward overboard. He still doesn\u2019t quite know how he survived but looking back it was a sure sign that God had a plan for him.<\/span><\/p>\n

When he washed up on shore, he found the gun he so admired washed up next to him. He picked it up only to hear shouting, and looked up to see adults running for him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cort was moved around to variety of homes, orphanages and finally when he was old enough he wandered out of the area and headed West.<\/span><\/p>\n

He landed in a town called Redemption.<\/span><\/p>\n

It ended up being Hell.<\/span><\/p>\n

He walked into a middle of a gunfight competition. Not taking no for an answer, he was dragged into the competition and handed a weapon. He stared in shock at the gun with a crucifix on it, the very same one he reached for as a child. \u2018The Left Hand of God,\u2019 he would later discover it\u2019s twin \u2018The Right Hand of God\u2019 with Ben Wade. The fact they\u2019re both Meridii somehow made sense.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expecting to die quickly, he took a deep breath, said a prayer and pulled his gun. His opponent laid dead in the street. He threw up seconds later.<\/span><\/p>\n

He was a natural.<\/span><\/p>\n

It also caught the attention of John Herod.<\/span><\/p>\n

The next six months of his tortured life was at the bastard\u2019s hand, ending with Herod Turning Without Consent.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
