Nightwind was the trusty steed of Apache Kid. Apache Kid was chasing after outlaws across the Arizona desert. The gang shot Apache Kid's horse dead leaving him stranded in the desert. He spotted the horse with a number of mares at a watering hole. When rattle snakes attacked the horse, the snakes bit his leg. Apache Kid killed the snakes and the horse trusted him enough to let him close enough to drain the poison and dress the wound. Apache Kid then named the horse Nightwind. The outlaws stole Nightwind and turned him over to a Native American chief named Old Toad who wanted to kill the horse for stealing mares from his tribe. The horse refused to be tamed by these strange men and Apache Kid eventually rescued the horse, and it has remained with him ever since. Early on in his career whenever the Apache Kid changed into his alter-ego of Aloysius Kare, he used to paint Nightwind white and call him "Flea Bag" to further cover for his double identity.
