Physical Description:
Tall, Dark, and Handsome are three words a woman could use to describe this cowboy. He's a rugged looking man, but tall and lean. He's got nice broad shoulders and narrow hips from riding. He's got muscles and lots of them, just because he's rich doesn't mean he can't get dirty. He is nearly the only Social Elite that gets on a horse and works in the cattle pastures. His body his tanned from the top of his head to the tip of his toes, well... pretty much. He's got green eyes, with a little brownish black in the middle around his pupil. He stands at around 6'3 and weighs about 163lbs.
Personality:
Even dressed as a smelly ol' cowboy he has a sense of Royalty. He walks too straight and talks too clean to be a cowboy. His scripture is impeccable and has a cleanliness about him. He always seems to have a good smell about him even while working. He's always taking care of himself, he even does laundry and can cook a little. He likes animals, cattle business, oil, and riding the rail road occasionally. Little kids don't bug him but he's afraid he's going to squish one one day, their just so small.... There isn't much he hates, just a bad attitude and bad weather. He has learned to eat anything and like it(especially when his brother cooks when their alone, talk about garbage).
Past:
He was born from Lou and Lorraine(Lorry) Calhoun. His father was a cattleman and had inherited the thousands of acres of cattle land in West Texas. But he's the one who started developing more specific breeds and really opening up bigger choices of beef. King began exploring oil fields with his father, right before the old man died, when King was about 13. His father had been out on the range when a freak storm from the gulf hit, drowning out several heads of cattle and giving him the deadly flu. His mother raised all of her children to do both Man's work AND woman's work. She had always said "I will NOT raise my children to be pigs!". Being the mother of Five boys and a little girl made it awful hard to get laundry done, so she had the boys do laundry, they had to clean their own clothes or walk around like a mud monster, most of them cleaned their clothes... except for a time when the brothers got mad and did a dirt strike.... it didn't work out so well, they all got lice and had to have a grotesque smelling onion juice thing stuck on their heads for four hours and for about a week. After that, everyone was careful to stay somewhat clean.
He grew up relatively fine. He was the eldest of his other brothers so he was the one who was going to inherit the Ranch. Two of his brothers were caught in a hold up at a bank, one was shot when the guy missed his target, aiming for the lawman in the town, and it went past him to hit his brother square in the chest. He died somewhat instantly, so he wasn't in pain long. The Outlaw didn't get far, he tried to rob a train in the next town over and he got caught when his horse flipped over backward on him, spooking from the explosives he used. He was crushed under it, but lived, with a few broken ribs..., unfortunately. His brothers were named(in order from oldest to youngest) Aaron, Isaiah(died), Gideon, Jesse. His sister's name is Lucy.
When he was 23 he fell in love with a young Dame of the name of Gwendoline. She was gorgeous, she was everything he'd hoped for in a wife.... But her mother detested Gwendoline. King loved his mother and highly respected her but didn't understand why she hated Gwendoline so much. Then right before he was going to ask for her hand in marriage he over heard her talking to Lucy about how when she was King's wife that she'd be the first to go, and then so on about getting rid of his mother and making him quit the filthy cattle business, the same business she told him she loved just the day before. King stood at the door and watched the shock when she opened it up. She tried to play it off like Lucy was fighting with her. King had her escorted to her house and said nothing more to her, he apologized to his mother and little sister.
He then started traveling to other states and countries, looking for answers, on life, on love, anything, he didn't really know. He then heard about the oil business and was immediately interested. It was very... complex. He decided to pursue it. He's also been buying off ranches, spreading the Calhoun name. He's been trying to buy the Iron star but the old man Tom won't relent on his pursue. So he decided to go in undercover to get the place from them at the right time.
