No. 13: Mountaineer of West Virginia

Name of Show: The Hex Files

Network: AMC

Voiceover By: Rob Riggle

Mountaineers are underrated when compared to their “manlier” counterpart, the cowboy. Sometimes known as a ‘frontiersman,’ a mountaineer is a symbolism of the outdoors. Mountaineers know how to utilize natural resources and can withstand most elements of weather. That’s the premise behind Paul “Hex” Sixton, a mountaineer from West Virginia, who’s laid out a plan to explore the west.

Coming from a family of coal miners, Hex was never brought up to do much else. His only brother followed in the footsteps of his dad, a veteran at excavation. At first, Hex tried that lifestyle out, but he always felt there was more to life. He always considered himself an explorer since birth, when he snuck out of the house during late hours to visit nearby creeks and to watch deer gallop across streets. Now a grown man, Hex has decided to part ways with his family to determine the meaning of his life.

Hex was never a city man. He grew tired of the thought that urban life was just a blink of an eye east. He would rather sleep in a cornfield or wrangle up some cattle on the farms that spanned the Great Plains. But Hex had a lot of adapting to do, despite his desire to be one with western life.

Eventually, Hex’s growing pains would come to an end. After fighting with some steer and other like-minded cowboys, he started to discovery his identity. Though he’s still out-of-place, Hex’s journey is documented through The Hex Files, a show about getting comfortable with a new environment.
