Jumping Axe comes from a lineage of prestigious warriors, his father, his father's father. All of them were Head Warrior, and as such, great things were expected of Jumping Axe. He trained to be exactly like his father. His skills in combat were honed rather quickly, and even though he wasn't named yet, the entire tribe accepted him.
His father, resigning from the position, Jumping Axe had to assume the mantle of Head Warrior. Jumping Axe taught all of his disciples to fight ferociously, and they would win. This was when Jumping Axe earned his name.
His small group was ambushed by a White Leg scouting party, and outnumbered 3:1, Jumping Axe slipped away, and jumped upto a nearby ledge of a cliff, then he launched himself off, and landed on one of the White Legs, driving his tomahawk deep into the man's back. This was enough to scare the group of White Legs, and the Shoshone took this chance to kill them. It worked well, with them only losing a single man to infection after the battle.
Jumping Axe, pleased with his victory against the White Legs, he could focus more on protecting borders, not launching offensive attacks against rival tribes, a notion that made him sleep at night.
He has recently started learning more English, in the hopes that he'll one day be able to leave the tribe, and wander the rest of the world. The world that the Shoshone once owned.
