Early Life 

Brooks Godfrey was the son of two young individuals named John and Grace Godfrey, he was raised in Chicago, Illinois where people worked their fingers to the bone to raise their kids in the healthiest way they possibly could. The Godfrey family belonged to the mines where they would live, love, and raise their children which often became difficult. A job so grueling and harsh on the body with most of the time little benefit. His father was the man that could do it all, but had his certain interests and captures that he narrowed himself down too. His main love and hobby was blacksmithing. He enjoyed creating objects out of minerals he found down in the mines and wouldn’t tell anyone about. The reason this love became so passionate to him was that his father who taught him from an early age everything he needed to know, gave him the skills to craft. Brooks and his brother Michael were once given these gold and silver belt buckles that their father made himself out of the mines they worked at. The two boys cherished this gift as they never received much in their lifetime. Just as things seemed to be good, the boys grew older and world problems became less unavoidable, the coal company began to become greedy and the problems began.

The Illinois mine wars began to arise and strikes were set out against the mine companies. The people and the families continued to be sick and tired of the treatment they were getting. One of the families happened to be Grace and John Godfrey who stood in the front lines of the riots and protests fighting for their rights. In 1898, A coal strike broke out in Virden after the Chicago-Virden Coal Company refused to pay their miners' union-scale wages. The strike ended with six security guards and seven miners killed, and over 30 others were injured. Grace and John Godfrey died that night, making their sacrifice a reality. The company finally granted the wage increase a month after the strike. The strike in Virden is also credited with the winning of the 8-hour workday for hourly mine workers, and a memorial in the town square commemorates the battle. This was not enough for the mourning brothers of Brooks and Michael. Brooks wanted revenge and he wanted it bad, he stayed away for weeks not knowing what he should do. The pain went on for weeks before Brooks decided to get one of the mine company's chairman alone one night. A series of pain, anger, and sadness all hit Brooks at once as he kidnapped the chairman with all the ideas about screwing over the mining families and took the man outside of town where no one could hear him, and tied him to a tree. All the adrenaline rushed to his head at the moment and he began throwing knives at every limb of the man's body before killing the man he looked him in the eyes and told him “This one’s from the Godfrey’s” as he threw a knife directly into the man’s skull.

Knowing what he has just done he rushed home to where Michael his brother and himself resided, he told him to pack everything from this house, and “we’re fucking leaving” they packed everything within the hour and rode off without a thought. His brother was sad, angry, and confused, but saw the blood on Brook’s hands and continued to ask him what had happened. Brooks told him, “I did what needed to be done from the start.” Still, in awe, Michael asked him, “So what is your plan now..” Brooks looked over to him and said “Family and Revenge.” As they rode off through the night without even a glance back to their old life.
