Origin
In the 19th century, Fergus was the overseer for the O’Neill plantation which resided on the banks of the Missouri river. When the Civil War began, he presence was demanded on the battlefield. Fighting in the Battle of Antietam in 1862, he proved himself a great shooter. On the battlefield, he began to bury the dead. When the war ended a few years later, a band of Yankees resented Fergus for the number of Yankees he had sent to their graves.
After the war, his master set him free and Fergus fled with his family to Deadwood, South Dakota. There he settled with his wife Missy and son Sammy as an undertaker under the name of Toppy. One day, a man came to him with two caskets, asking them to be stalled with Fergus, but under no circumstances to be opened. Fergus agreed. Shortly thereafter, his wife and son were killed by Yankees. Making plans for revenge, the two caskets opened and out came the vampiric John Adams and his wife Abigail. They made Fergus into a vampire, giving him the means to take revenge on the killers of his family.
As a thanks, Toppy stayed with the Adams family ever since. He died in the all-out war against the vampires, when his head was bashed in by Toussaint Louverture.
