“This i say to you who have followed me in the regeneration of the son of man. You shall sit on the throne of his glory. You shall also sit upon twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone that has left houses, or brethren, or sister, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life...” (Jesus, The Christ)

Cimarron Frost was a no-good, worthless, sometimes-on-both-sides-of-the-law frontier man.
