The Gold Man

The Gold Man is a gold prospector who lurks in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California.

In 1852, shortly after California became a state, a man entered a mine in the California foothills. While mining for Gold, he came across a figure in the darkness. The figure turned to face him, and stated "I am the Gold Man, and this, is my home. Give me your gold, or I will turn you into Gold." The man, shaking from fear, handed over all of his Gold to the man, then ran to the mine's exit. The Gold Man collected the man's gold for himself, and gained even more power then he had before.

The Gold Man strives to avoid his archenemy, railroad baron Jasper Silverfinger.

The Gold Man's trusted sidekick is the Chinese immigrant Fools Gold.
