History
Raised by the Apache chief Red Hawk as if he were his own son, Aloysius Kare grew up skilled in the ways of his adopted people. As an adult, he left the Apache and assumed the role of scout for Fort Madison, Arizona, under the command of Captain William Gregory. Whenever anything would threaten his homeland, whether it be white men, Apaches, or anyone else, Kare would put on war paint and assume the identity of the Apache Kid, bringing peace back to the west, riding Nightwind along the way. Only his father and Captain Gregory were aware of his double life.
The Kid's goal was to foster positive relationships between his father's people and Fort Madison in particular, and between all whites and Natives in general. To this end, he made continuous efforts at preventing Fort Madison from taking up arms against non-aggresive tribes, and convinced Red Hawk to keep from warring without just cause. The Apache Kid was truly a peacemaker, a man before his time.
While originally in love with White Swan, the niece of Red Hawk, the Kid eventually finds true love with a half-Apache, half-white woman named Rosa. Rosa once stole ponies from Red Hawk's camp, trying to prove herself as a fighter. Dazii recovered the ponies, but when she stole some a second time he pursued her again, and they fell in love. They were married and given an auspicious blessing at their union by Goyathlay, better known as Geronimo.
Dazii's efforts as a peacemaker ultimately drove him apart from both whites and Apaches, as whites suspected Aloysius Kare to be a disloyal American, and the Apaches thought him a coward. Not even Rosa could fully understand him, and she left to fight alongside Goyathlay.
During the railroad wars, he fought for the Colorado & Texas Line against the Santa Fe & Pacific Railroads. He became close friends with the Rawhide Kid during this period. He also, however, made an enemy of William Tyler, the Santa Fe and Pacific's owner. When Dazii had William's son Billy imprisoned for planning an attempt on Goyathlay's life, the elder Tyler had his son released and Billy Tyler had the Apache Kid ambushed and murdered.
Rosa became the new Apache Kid in order to avenge his death and with the help of the Rawhide Kid, killed Billy Tyler.
