History: Cinnamon was the reincarnation of Egyptian queen Chay-Ara, destined to reunite with her reincarnated king Khufu. Cinnamon's widowed father, Sheriff Manser,  raised her by himself, and was later gunned down in a bank robbery. She had great hatred instilled in her at an early age, and her upbringing in an orphanage only fanned the fires of her rage. Cinnamon trained herself to be a killer, and at the age of eighteen she left the orphanage to seek out her fathers killers so she could have her revenge.

(Hawkman IV #7) - After so many false leads and dead ends, Cinnamon believed she found the identity of her father's killer to an outlaw named Graydon, who was staying in St. Roch. She rde there, but knew she couldn't just gun him down in the street, so, knowing he was a gambling man, she started playing cards with him. She provoked him into drawing a gun by shooting, and with the aid of fellow heroic gunslinger Nighthawk she gunned him down. A shootout occurred in the bar after one of the lynch mob accused gunslinger Cinnamon of cheating at cards. Nighthawk and Cinnamon killed the shooters, and Nighthawk was the reincarnation of Khufu, and they fulfilled the purpose of their latest reincarnation by realizing their love. They spent a tender night together, and Nighthawk told her he aimed to save Cyrus, a former slave falsely accused of murdering his employer Bois Garvey from the mob assembled by the real killer, Garvey's niece Matilda Dunney. Cinnamon loved him, but replied that she was no hero. Nighthawk broke into the jailhouse, shot his way through the mob, and broke Cyrus out of jail. Cinnamon arrived on horseback to take them away from the mob, saying she liked what she had found in Nighthawk, and didn't want to lose him. Cyrus led them to Stonechat House, the home of his deceased employer, and explained that Garvey had left him an inheritance so he could turn Stonechat into a museum. Cyrus stood trial, and as found innocent. Nighthawk and Cinnamon decided t stay in St. Roch together, and continued to defend the weak from the evil even though they kept saying their days of adventure were over. One day Matilda, now using her married name of Roderic, returned to town and killed Nighthawk by shooting him in the head. Cinnamon avenged him, killing Roderic, but dying in the process. Nighthawk and Cinnamon's love had kicked of the curse their souls were under, and they had to die at the hands of a descendant of Hath-Set to be reborn and find each other again.
