Relative Ages (oldest to youngest): Josiah, Chris, Buck, Nathan, Ezra, Vin, JD |
|
 Chris Larabee Physical Description: Blond hair, green eyes, tall with a slim, athletic build, Age: 35-45  |
Gunfighter
Chris Larabee is haunted by the brutal murder of
his wife and 5-year-old son at the hands of a paid killer, hired by an
obsessed and demented former lover. Little else is known about his background, except that he lived in Indiana as a very young man. Chris is possibly the most unstable of the group, a heavy drinker prone to bouts of rage and depression. Nevertheless, his position as the dynamic "Leader" of the Seven is unquestioned. Known Facts From the TV show Parents & Siblings No mention is ever made of Chris's parents or any other relatives Schooling Unknown but he likes to read he often has a book in his hand. Pre Buck Chris was with Ella Gaines before he met Buck. Chris was in Indiana at about age 17, but it is never made clear if he was actually from there. After Buck Chris met Buck directly after Chris and Ella broke up, which was 10 or 12 years before the Pilot episode. As it had only been a decade since the War they possible met while in the army most people make them Union Soldiers during the war. Marriage He was a horse rancher east of Eagle Bend, where he had a nice house with stone foundations and a broad front porch, a horse corral, and windmill. His wife was Sarah Connelly, and his son was Adam. Both were killed in a fire set by Cletus Fowler, by order of Ella Gaines, while Chris and Buck were away in Mexico on a horse-trading trip. His father-in-law was Hank Connelly. After the Fire At some unspecified point in time, he was in Dodge City, Kansas, where he was in a gunfight. By the time of the Pilot he was a known Gunfighter. After the Pilot We first see his cabin & homestead in two episodes and the second time had horses in the coral. Habits He smoked cheroot cigars in the Pilot episode but not others. He has no problem visiting a cathouse and seems to treat them well. Possible binge drinker since the fire |
 Buck Wilmington Physical Description: Dark brown hair, blue eyes, very tall with a trim build. Age: 35-45  |
Rogue
and "Scoundrel" Buck Wilmington is the son of a
prostitute and a long-time friend of Chris Larabee. Fun-loving and
good-natured, Buck is a ladies' man who loves all women equally. He is also a surrogate big brother to JD Dunne. Buck is quick to laugh, but is capable of violence when he is pushed too far. Known Facts From the TV show Parents & Siblings His mother was a prostitute, and Buck grew up among other prostitutes, presumably in the house where his mother worked. No mention is ever made of his father, or any other relatives Schooling No mention is ever made as to where he was born, or what state he grew up in. He expresses considerable knowledge of guns and gun fighting. Presumably he can read as he mentions reading an article on Animal Magnetism which he claim he has. After Chris He has known Chris 10 or 12 years, and was very close to Chris’s family, as demonstrated in flashback scenes in “Nemesis,” where Buck was giving Adam a horseback ride and called Uncle Buck. It was Buck’s suggestion that they stay another night in Mexico, which delayed their home-coming, and led to their finding Chris’s family dead and his home burned. That fact has been a source of guilt to Buck, even though Chris displays no animosity about it. Marriage Buck proposed marriage twice in the course of the TV series. The first time is to pregnant Lucy, in “Sins of the Past,” but he is refused, when she reveals he is not the father of her baby. The second time is to Louisa Perkins, the spirited governor’s aide in “Serpents.” She at first says that she is not cut out to be a wife, but later rather hesitantly accepts, although we never learn whether or not they follow through. However, the final hint is when Buck stutters and looks shocked, upon Louisa’s announcement that they could get married, but he would have to come with her, in her political travels. After the Fire He was once a lawman, although place, time, and duration is never specified, and he refuses to wear a badge, now. . . So it reasonable to assume this happened after the fire. After the Pilot Joined up with Chris again and became one of the Seven Habits Rabid Womaniser but a gentleman and will defend them to the death including the Whores in the Cathouse which considering his motehr was one and so were all his babysiters isn't hard to guess why. Habit of jokes and rough play especially with JD who he seems to have adopted |
 Vin Tanner Physical Description: Brown hair, blue eyes, slight build, average height. Age: 24-28  |
Quiet
and unassuming, ex bounty hunter Vin Tanner was orphaned
at the age of five and subsequently lived with at least two Native
American tribes (Kiowa and Commanche). He is a "Sharpshooter" and a skilled tracker. He carries a $500 bounty on his own head after being framed for murder by an outlaw named Eli Joe, who was subsequently killed by Chris Larabee before he could be persuaded to clear Vin's name. Vin speaks at least three languages and is a talented poet, but cannot read or write. Known Facts From the TV show Parents & Siblings Vin’s mother died when he was age five of “putrid fever,” an old-time reference to diphtheria. No mention is ever made of his father or other relatives. No mention is ever made of where he actually grew up, or what happened after his mother's death. He lived at an unspecified time for an unspecified period with the Comanche and Kiowa Indians, who are native to the southern Plains. Schooling He speaks bits of other Indian dialects, including whatever Kojay’s tribe speaks in "Manhunt," and also some Spanish, despite once joking, “What’s no bueno mean?” Vin is functionally illiterate, but can compose poetry in his head, although Mary Travis has accepted his request to tutor him. Before the Pilot He was a buffalo hunter and then a bounty hunter, and is a sharpshooter of great ability. He was hunting an outlaw named Eli Joe, when Eli framed Vin for the murder of Jess Kincaid, an innocent farmer near Tascosa, Texas. Judging by comments in "Sins of the Past," he has not yet stood trial, but it is never stated whether he was jailed and broke out, or escaped cleanly. A $500 bounty was subsequently placed on Vin's head, wanted dead or alive. However, the length of time between that murder and Vin's arrival in town is not clarified, although Chris empathized with Vin's "years of looking over your shoulder." The Pilot He had to borrow a rifle from the hardware store to rescue Nathan, in the Pilot episode, after which the storekeeper let him keep it, so this may or may not be the rifle he uses in all subsequent episodes. His sidearm of choice is a cut-down Winchester repeating rifle, but he also carries and can fight with a large hunting knife. Habits His trademark “lean” was contrived by actor Eric Close to suggest a mild case of scoliosis, a curvature of the spine. He carries and uses a brass, telescoping, nautical-type spy glass. He carries a harmonica and sometimes blows on it, but he does not play any actual songs, instead equating it to sounds of nature and peacefulness. |
 Ezra Standish Physical Description: Brown hair, green eyes, short stature with a trim, athletic build. Age: 28-35  |
The
"Gambler" Ezra Standish is a cardsharp and a con artist,
as is his mother, Maude, who left his upbringing mostly to relatives
and with whom he has a volatile relationship. It is not known which, if
any, of Maude's five former husbands is Ezra's father. Ezra is undoubtedly the most intelligent of the Seven, and also the one most concerned with appearance and manners. He makes no apologies for his considerable skill as a con artist Known Facts From the TV show Parents & Siblings He is a “Southern boy,” but no specification is ever made as to where in the South he is from, or how long he has been West. His mother Maude periodically left him with various, unspecified relatives, as he was growing up. No mention is ever made as to who or where his father is, or was, nor any hint of siblings. Ezra and his mother both go by the surname "Standish," but no clue is given as to whether this was his father's name, or something else. Schooling Possibly very schooled as anything less would not be workable in one of his Mothers cons as she tends to pretend to being rich. He knows how to load and shoot a cannon, but no real explanation is ever given as to when, or how, he learned this unique talent. Ezra also knows how to use a sword with considerable ability, and claims that he has sometimes "found it necessary to defend his good name upon the field of honor." He can speak reasonable Spanish, at least enough to form a complete sentence in “The New Law,” when he pretended to be a Mexican racing through town, spreading the alarm that soldiers were coming. He also may like to read, and has been seen with a book, upon occasion Pre Pilot He is both a gambler and a confidence man, the two not being necessarily synonymous, as is his mother." He has at some point been in Chicago, IL and Ft. Laramie, WY. Known to the Judge and jailed for whatever he was doing in Ft. Laramie under the name Simpson Habits Has a backup derringer in a spring arm holster |
 JD Dunne Physical Description: Black hair, hazel eyes, short stature, average build, the smallest and youngest of the Seven. Age: 17-23  |
The
illegitimate son of a chambermaid, Easterner JD Dunne is
the "Kid" of the Seven. He came west following the death of his mother and is probably somewhere in his late teens. JD is an accomplished horseman, having taught himself to ride while working as a stableboy on the large estate where his mother was employed. He volunteered to take on the job of town sheriff when no one older or wiser was willing to do it. Known Facts From the TV show Parents & Siblings He "lived in a big mansion” as a boy, where his mother was a chambermaid and he worked as a stable boy for the same people. In "Obsession," he mentions that they also played golf on the estate where he grew up. His mother died within the year before his arrival out West. He says he “never knew his father,” but no indication is given as to whether his father is dead, or merely absent from his life. No mention is ever made of any other family. Schooling JD is definitely from back East, but while the MGM Mag Seven website says he is from New York, none of the episodes indicate what state or town he is from. His mother had saved money intending for him to go to college, which suggests he had a good education prior, but those funds fell short. The Pilot He arrived with in town an Eastern/English style saddle, but evidently trades or sells that for the old cowboy saddle we see him ride in all but the Pilot episode. His idol is Kansas lawman Bat Masterson, whose taste in hats influenced JD’s own preference for the bowler hat |
 Nathan Jackson Physical Description: Black hair, brown eyes, African American, tall and solidly built. Age: 27-35  |
Born
into slavery, the "Healer" Nathan Jackson learned his
medical skills as a stretcher bearer during the Civil War. His mother
committed suicide when he was seven after discovering she was pregnant
by a white man who had raped her. Despite bearing the emotional and physical scars of a harsh and brutal past, Nathan is gentle and compassionate, and the most even-tempered of the Seven. He has a romantic relationship with Rain, a black woman adopted by the Seminole tribe. Known Facts From the TV show Parents & Siblings He was born a slave on a plantation outside of Atlanta, GA. His father was Obediah Jackson, who was dying of consumption in “The Trial,” but no name is ever given to his mother. His mother died when he was age 7, and the family was sold away to Alabama. He also had siblings, but no names or any details are ever given Schooling He knows how to read, which is unusual for a former slave, but there is no indication how he learned. . One of his owners, named only as Mr. Jackson, taught him swordsmanship, as Mr. Jackson used Nathan for a sparring partner. The War He is an escaped slave, who served in the Union Army during the Civil War, where he was made a stretcher-bearer and heard his calling to become a healer, picking up what he could in field hospitals. After the War Nathan thus became very proficient with a blade. He also carries and uses a set of three throwing knifes, but professes that he would rather use them to heal. He was acquainted with Josiah and with Mary Travis, and was established as a healer in town, before the series began |
 Josiah Sanchez Physical Description: Greying hair, blue eyes, tall and imposing with an solid muscular physique. Age: 45-55  |
The
"Preacher" Josiah Sanchez is the son of Catholic
missionaries and is himself a defrocked priest. He has a sister who is severely mentally ill, a fact known only by Vin Tanner. Obviously extensively-traveled and well-educated, he has dedicated himself to seeking spiritual Truth. Although seemingly calm and soft-spoken, Josiah can be moved to violence with little provocation. Known Facts From the TV show Parents & Siblings His father was a missionary, although his denomination is also a mystery. He worked with his father for a time, but they quarreled often, then at some Josiah point broke from him. Now his father is dead, although when or how is not said, and no mention is ever made of his mother, nor are names given for either parent. He has one sister, Hannah, who suffered a progressive mental breakdown and defied their father's attempts to cope, although their father's methods included beatings and locking her up. Hannah now lives cloistered in care of a convent, in Vista City, where he pays for her keeping. Schooling He is a defrocked priest, although what denomination is never specified, nor how long ago it happened. He gives his reason as, “I had a little trouble turning the other cheek,” while Nathan says the word is that Josiah “killed some men.” Josiah has lived in San Francisco, where his father did missionary work among the Chinese and Josiah learned to speak some Chinese, and he also lived in India, although times and durations are never defined. At some point he studied for two years under a Cherokee holy man, and also learned something about Cherokee law. Josiah likes to read and is seen fairly often with books, including the classics Marriage The great love of his life was Emma Dubonnet, an actress whom he met and courted in San Francisco, and whose picture he has carried in his wallet for years. In that youthful time, he introduced himself after first seeing her show, "Getting Gertie's Garter," then saw her four times in company with a chaperone, and proposed marriage. She accepted, but he then left her to study with the Cherokee holy man, and she evidently forgot him Habits and Possesion He rides a distinctive Mexican saddle, and shoots left-handeds |
