By his people, he was known as Chǐkclǐkam-Lupalkuelátko, meaning “wagon scar-faced,” from having been run over by a mail stage when a child, hence the name by which he was known to the whites.
Captain Jack spoke of him as a relative, but it is also said that he was a Rogue River Indian of the Tipsoe Tyee (Bearded Chief’s) band and joined Captain Jack some years before the war of 1873 when 22 years of age. Scarface was among those who taunted Jack when he was disposed to enter into a peace treaty after the first attack and repulse of the white soldiers.
When the Modoc became angered during Judge Steele’s last visit to them in the lava beds, Scarface and Captain Jack saved the life of Steele by guarding him during the night. When Odeneal and Dyar visited the Modoc on January 27, 1873, on behalf of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Scarface would have killed them on the spot had he not been restrained by Captain Jack. He was also the first to fire on the troops when they attempted the arrest of Captain Jack’s band the next day in the Battle of the Lost River.
