Billy the Kid's real name was William Henry McCarty, Jr. He was a 19th-century Irish American gunman who participated in the Lincoln Country War and he became a popular outlaw in the American West.

He was 5'8" tall with blue eyes, blonde hair (or dirty blonde hair) and a smooth complextion. He was desribed as friendly and personable at times, these qualities, along with his cunning and celebrated skill with firearms made him look both a notorious outlaw and a folk hero.
