Toby Brookes

Toby Brookes was the father of Jericho, and a Human on Earth. He was a ranch owner and antique seller in the town of Reno. His death at the hands of the corrupt sheriff, Jeb Dunham, is what caused Ben to become an outlaw who changed his name to Jericho Lonestar.

Early life
Toby was born on January 10, 1432, in Reno. His father, Vincent Brookes (1402-1474), had left the advanced world in 1430, after economic problems and job loss occurred in his home of Supreme City. Vincent bought a ranch in Reno, wanting to live a more simple life. It was there in Reno that he met and married Toby's mother. Toby grew up in Reno, attending Reno Schoolhouse and working to inherit his fathers ranch.

Family and the ranch
After school, Toby got married and worked as a salesman, selling incredible things he found, such as armor from the Herulean War and bones of rare dinosaurs. He normally sold these things in taverns around the Wild West, but was able to make decent money.

Toby's oldest son, Dwight, was born in 1452. As Dwight grew up, he assisted Toby in finding and selling artifacts. Toby's daughter, Elizabeth was born in 1464. In 1465, Jack was born. Bill was born in 1470, and Ben was born in 1482. When Ben was born, his mother (Toby's wife) died soon after. The twelve year old Bill died of a sickness when Ben was an infant.

Dwight became a lawyer, Elizabeth moved to a city and married a businessman, and Jack became a writer.

Ben grew up not really seeing his siblings much, as they had all moved out and moved to different places. Toby raised Ben all by himself.

Toby did not inherit the ranch until after his father's death in 1474, years prior to Ben's birth.

Death
In 1498, Sheriff Jeb Dunham killed Toby after Toby had refused to hand over gold to him. Dunham wanted to use the gold to bribe a politician to get him a political position.

Toby was killed when Dunham shot him in the heart with a pistol.

Ben would kill Dunham and his cronies, avenging Toby, thus becoming an outlaw---Jericho Lonestar. Ben Brookes was dead and Jericho Lonestar was born.

Legacy
Jericho remembered Toby's death as the reason why he left Reno to become an outlaw. Toby was buried in Reno Cemetery, by Jericho, who left Reno forever--soon after.
