Custer was a small town Reverend who became fused with a powerful entity named Genesis gifting him with the ability to order people to do whatever he commands. Using this power he begins a journey of discovery and revenge across America with the aim of forcing God to answer to his creation for his sins. Assisting him in his travels is his gun-wielding girlfriend, Tulip O'Hare, and a hard-drinking Irish vampire named Cassidy.

Custer is a loyal devotee to the Western film genre (best epitomized by the guiding spirit of John Wayne, whom only Jesse sees), an accomplished fist-fighter and shares a great cunning and intelligence. His tragic flaw perhaps is his strict observance of his code of honour which involves protecting women, being a good guy and never tolerating fools.
