Although he normally sports two guns and a lariat, Cody is only seen here holding one gun. Nevertheless, he continues to be a valuable modern day ally to the G-52s and champion defender of his home state of Texas, even in spite of his flaws. Here's the bio on him:

“Callahan Cody” Belachman Bio (Updated)

Species: Lynx
Nicknames: “Callahan Cody,” Pride of the Lone Star State
Age immortalized: 25
Occupations: Bounty hunter, rancher
Original and current hometown: Hicksburg, Texas, USA
Previous hometown: fomrerly Cat’s Granby in Wildcat City, Kansas, USA; he sold his property so that he could move back to Hicksburg
Clothing: Black cowboy hat, yellow button-down shirt and brown leather cover over it, brown belt, blue jeans, and brown boots. Attached to his belt are two gun holsters, which sport his two Colt .45s, and a place for his lariat.
Background info: Born in the greatest state in the Union (in his opinion because of all the glamorous history behind the state, in particular the story of the Alamo), Cody has been hailed as the “Pride of the Lone Star State” by his peers, and even by Leo the Patriotic Lion. His hometown of Hicksburg is unique in that it does what the borough in Wildcat City called Horseshoeville does, as well as Glenn View Springs, Arizona (the home of Nickelback Nathan and his posse, and the Righteous Outlaw) does. On the inside, modernization is present because the people know what year and time it is, but on the outside, the city has not changed its looks one bit since 1875. Cody took up the inspiration for bounty hunting from his great-great-great-great grandfather (which is also where he got his nickname), a gunfighter who single-handedly brought an entire gang to justice and was paid $90,000 for his efforts. Cody bears a striking resemblance to that very hero, and it almost is as if the folks of Hicksburg are talking to the hero himself when he travels down to visit. He takes pride in his home state and will do all he can to defend its reputation, even if it means drawing on someone who insults Texas (or also himself or his friends). He has a strong sense of justice and a huge incentive to deliver it, but his drawback is when his emotions lead him to draw his revolvers when he, his friends, or worst of all, Texas, hears a discouraging word. He delivers a larger amount of nationalistic views on the state level in the same manner that Leo the Patriotic Lion and Super Slash do on the national level. It was of Cody that Leo once said, “I think he is more die-hard about Texas than I am about all of America. It’s terrifying!”

Cody formed the Fab 5 as a way to bond closer to his friends and to make a good impression on Super C when the Cat of Steel first decided to add them as allies to the G-52s. Their impression gave Super C the “shot of variety” (as Cody calls it) that he felt the G-52 organization was lacking. Cody speaks with that typical Texan cowboy drawl and uses with the word “y’all” as much as possible. Cody also believes in the biblical proverb that says to “rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep,” as he did when meeting David Blaze for the first time. (Though his grammar is typically wrong, he is absolutely no dummy!)

Cody struck a deal with Zax and stated he'd let diplomacy and words speak the truth about Texas instead of lead from two six-shooters. He and his posse now all live in Hicksburg as neighbors.

As soon as Leo took a hit to the head and was admitted to the Texas Medical Center, Cody and his posse hustled on the double and got down there.

UPDATES: Cody later won the U.S. Medal of Honor as well as Kriegland's equivalent, the SSSMSB (Stupendously Superiorly Shiny Medal of Superiority and Bravery), for his roles in fighting for freedom for all Texans, the latest of which involved capturing and defeating the drug lord El Chapo. In spite of that, he still struggles with going gun crazy. The 2016 elections really drove him nuts.

MORE UPDATES: The last straw came when Cody participated in a protest against anti-vaccination bills and propaganda, but he crossed the line by threatening to kill the politicians even after the issues were resolved and vaccinations became mandatory. Later he had thoughts about ending his own life by shooting himself in the head; these combined events literally scared 80% of everything (population, wildlife, etc.) out of Texas. Cody made a subsequently apology and has been harshly punished for his actions ever since, including a marching punishment. (This is where he carried a bass drum on his back while another chosen drummer - King Leo V in this case - beat it, and other musicians played tunes to make him feel ashamed. He later confessed his sins again, as well as got alarming graphic illustrations from a guest speaker on how his threats to kill the politicians literally scared the entire population out of Texas. Even the wildlife fled, and immigrants were now too scared to cross the border, legal or illegal.) Super C also fined him a hefty sum, and soon, he was close to bankruptcy, having little to no money in his bank account.

However, a New York native who had moved to Texas (and lived as Cody's neighbor for a while) subsequently decided it was time to get revenge on the lynx and punish him for his sins. The New Yorker, a human named Terry Leatherfeather, had wanted revenge on Cody for losing a chili cook-off to the cowboy lynx (and he and Cody were the two finalists), figured out how to hack into Cody's bank account with his desktop computer, thus leading to the bankruptcy. It was originally rumored that Bendraqi was doing the hacking. But the mad scientist was only getting to the banks of Europe, hence Texas getting a sudden surprise visit from some of the parallels, one of which was the one the world fears the most: Lennart the Viking Lion, representing Sweden. (Alternatively he may be addressed as Lennart the Norse Lion.) So as not to go berserk, Lennart acted as Cody's bodyguard.

Seeing Lennart scared and scarred Leatherfeather for life, and as he surrendered to the police, it was discovered that he had been using his trucking company he owned, Sittons Motor Lines (or SML for short) as a cover-up for hiding drugs he was smuggling, ranging from dried marijuana to magic mushrooms. Leatherfeather was later ruled to surrended all his money, property that wasn't contraband, and other assets to Cody; SML subsequently shut down, and the cowboy sold the property to somebody who wanted to turn it into a family-oriented diner and bowling alley complex. Cody is now a multi-milionaire, and continues to run his ranch.

Cody has also won awards such as the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Arch-nemesis: Originally Cody and his posse, the Fab 5, battled against Dead Hand Dan and his cronies (of which his cousin, Dead-Eye Dennis, now leads, and have shifted attention to the Nickelbacks in Arizona). Today, they battle whoever strikes crime, and occasionally it used to be Dennis and his gang, until his repentance.
Personal quote: “If y’all say one bad word about Texas, I got just one thing to say to you: draw, pilgrim!” (his warning to the public)
"Why didn't y'all give me them marchin' punishments a long time ago? It might have prevented this here issue from circulatin' in them newspapers." (after going through marching punishment)
Catchphrases: an elongated “WHOO-WEE!”
An elongated “YEE-HAW!”
“Don’t mess with Texas!”
“Well, flip my pistols!”
