[[folder:Wyatt]]
!!Wyatt Earp
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/earp_wyatt.jpg]]
->'''Played By:''' Gale Harold

Wyatt Earp rides into town a hero beside his brother Morgan, claiming to have saved the arriving stage coach from some road agents attempting to hold up the stage. The brothers have secured a timber claim in Deadwood and claim they intend to settle down to work, giving up their past as law men in Dodge City and Witchita. But will Wyatt be able to keep Morgan in line?

* AloofBigBrother: To Morgan.
* EngineeredHeroism: He and his brother ride into town proclaiming that they stopped a stagecoach robbery that they themselves faked. Al discovers it, but allows them to [[FakeUltimateHero keep the masquerade]].
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wyatt_Earp He's the will-be-famous Wyatt Earp.]]
* HistoricalHeroUpgrade: Averted. Wyatt Earp is almost always rendered in fiction as an honorable, dedicated lawman, but ''Deadwood'' portrays him as simply an opportunist, neither particularly good nor particularly bad, which is closer to the historical record.
* RedHerring: Looks like a possible recruit for the coming battle against Hearst but ends leaving the town before it takes place.
* [[FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling Responsible Sibling]]: Wyatt is a thinker who cleans up his brother's messes.
* TheRival: Briefly, to Bullock, but then they become somewhat tentative allies.
* YoungFutureFamousPeople: Wyatt will be a big deal in the near future, but not in Deadwood.

[[folder:Morgan]]
!!Morgan Earp
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/earp_morgan.jpg]]
->'''Played By:''' Austin Nichols

Morgan Earp, the younger and more hotheaded brother of Wyatt, tries to capitalize on the goodwill that the Earp brothers acquire when they ride into town as heroes, having apparently saved the stage coach from road agents. He spends his goodwill scamming a whore at the Gem for free services, claiming her sister owes him $11, while his brother Wyatt attempts to keep him in line. They are in Deadwood to work a newly acquired timber claim, vowing a simpler life than previous - as law men in Dodge City and Witchita.
----
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Wyatt.
* BlatantLies: Oh, you have a sister you had not mentioned before? What a coincidence! She owes me money! ''Seriously!''
* [[FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling Foolish Sibling]]: Morgan is a basic idiot, out to satisfy whatever impulse strikes him without thinking a minute ahead.
* HistoricalDomainCharacter: [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgan_Earp Well, of course.]]
* HotBlooded: Morgan is talented at finding a fight.
%%* {{Jerkass}}

[[caption-width-right:350:''"For who do you take me then? For who do you mistake me?"'']]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/SarahPaulson

Alice Isringhausen is hired from back East by Alma Garret to tutor Sofia. Isringhausen remains unobtrusively in the background with Sofia throughout most of the drama between Alma and Seth.
----
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:She seems bashful and innocent around Silas Adams. Then her true colors are revealed.]]
* DefrostingIceQueen: Her relationship with Adams seems to mellow her. [[spoiler:Ultimately subverted when it's revealed she's just a skilled manipulator with a heart of ice.]]
* HotTeacher: She's played by the very attractive Sarah Paulson, and Silas quickly becomes rather smitten with her. [[spoiler:Subverted when it's revealed she's a Pinkerton posing as a teacher.]]
* IceQueen: Miss Isringhausen is rather cold and aloof. Alma notices how frosty her manner is.
-->'''Alma:''' My beliefs about you have to do with your soul, which I feel is cold and ungenerous, unless you are a counterfeit. And if you are a counterfeit, the deception comes so naturally, I'd credit its source in such a soul.. meaning, cold and ungenerous, and as capable of counterfeit.. manipulative and treacherous as well.
* ManipulativeBitch: [[spoiler:She successfully plays Alma, Silas and even Al who is forced to concede to her. Of course, she has to get out of town pretty fast, but that's just a wise move in general.]]
* NoNameGiven: [[spoiler:When Al sees her signing a paper ([[TheUnreveal off screen]]) he comments that she didn't use her name, Isringhausen. She replies then that she didn't book at Farnum's hotel under her real name.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"God is not mocked, Cy."'']]
->'''Played By:''' Zach Grenier

A conman and old associate of Cy, Andy arrives at Deadwood some days after Cy while suffering from smallpox. Rather than seeking treatment for him, [[KickTheDog Cy leaves Andy in the woods to die]] but he is discovered in time by Jane and survives. The experience convinces him to leave his old life behind and devote himself to help others. When he returns in the second season he has been ordained a minister.

* TheAtoner: After surviving smallpox, he becomes a repentant man of God seeking to right the wrongs of his past.
%%* BadassPreacher
* BerserkButton: Mocking his newfound religious path, moreso if it is Cy doing it. Andy clearly has some unresolved feelings of anger toward Cy for abandoning him.
* {{Conman}}: Formerly.
* MadnessMantra: During his smallpox, he repeats 'I apologize' over and over in the delirium of fever.
* HeelFaithTurn: Prior to his smallpox infection and subsequent religious conversion, Andy was an old friend of Cy Tolliver's. He was a professional con man and considering the type of person Cy is, probably did a few things worse.
* PreacherMan: Becomes this after his brush with death.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Andy unintentionally brings the smallpox to Deadwood.

* CompletelyMissingThePoint: Believing that he has been conned, Brom announces that he will threaten Al with an investigation. Wild Bill points that the man that sold Brom his gold concession under Al's auspices has been missing since that night and that there is a blood stain in his former hotel room, then asks Brom again if he believes that threatening Al is the smart thing to do.

%%* TheDandy

->'''Played By:''' Creator/KristenBell & Creator/GregCipes

A seemingly innocent pair of siblings who pass through the camp.

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Averted. [[spoiler:Flora is beaten bloody by Cy.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:Flora moreso than Miles. It's clear who the brains of the operation is.]]
* BoomHeadshot: [[spoiler:Both of them. Cy shoots Miles, then forces Joanie to shoot Flora.]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:It's hard to think of a nastier end on Deadwood. Cy could easily kill them, but he lets them linger. He taunts them in the cruellest ways he can think of with a big sadistic grin, practically feeding off their agony.]]
* FemmeFatale: [[spoiler:Flora. She halfway seduces Joanie with her 'innocent girl' act and beauty, igniting Joanie's protective instincts and desire.]]
* ForTheEvulz: [[spoiler:Flora tells Miles they need to work quickly because Cy is getting suspicious. Miles says she probably wants to rush the job just so she ''has'' to hurt someone (though Cy is, indeed, getting suspicious).]]
* MeaningfulName: They are named Flora and Miles like the siblings in ''Literature/TheTurnOfTheScrew''. Considering that David Milch names HenryJames as one of his favorite authors this is probably not a coincidence.
* MercyKill: [[spoiler:Although she was forced to do it, Joanie's shooting of Flora comes across as this more than outright murder. She wouldn't condemn Flora to one more second in the company of a wrathful Cy Tolliver.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:''"Must the pretense of my behavior generating from parental concern be abandoned so quickly?"'']]
->'''Played By:''' William Russ

Alma's father, who turns up in town for less-than-noble reasons.

* AbusiveParent: He is financially and psychologically abusive toward his own daughter, Alma. He practically tries to pimp her out to Bullock.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: When he first appears, he seems like a pleasant and genial man. This is just a mask for the greedy opportunistic sociopath he is; Otis even admits it.
-->''"Must the pretense of my behavior generating from parental concern be abandoned so quickly?"''
* {{Blackmail}}: He attempts to blackmail his own daughter, an act which even EB Farnum finds disgusting.
* TheBully: A subtle one. He bullies others through sly insinuations and instilling a sense of insecurity, all the while bending them to his will.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Initially, Otis can be pretty personable. He's witty, polite and even throws in a spot of self-deprecation. He'll still take you for all you're worth and sleep well that night.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Otis' putdown of Farnum is well-deserved, but somehow this trope is averted. Otis is such a reprehensible creature that Farnum actually comes off as holding the moral high ground in such an instance.
-->'''Farnum:''' Antemeridian constitutional, Mr. Russell? Or will we roll the bones again?
-->'''Otis:''' It must cost you sleep, the guests you drive off, the chances of thieving and bilking you lose, needing to rub against your betters.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: On the receiving end of a highly deserved one from Bullock.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: The singular reason that Otis even sets foot in Deadwood is to seize Alma's claim.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to Bullock...but it doesn't work out in his favour.
-->'''Bullock:''' I will beat you here in the street.
-->'''Otis:''' [[SarcasmMode First-rate thinking.]] My daughter's agent beats her father in the street, how better to condemn Alma to deepened suspicion as to her role in her husband's violent death and widen suspicion to include yourself? Shoot craps, Mr. Bullock? [[BullyHunter Were you bullied, Mr. Bullock, when young and incapable? Now you see wrongs everywhere and bullying you feel called to remedy.]] The bully who oppressed your youth isn't at the table with us, perhaps he's long dead. If you will view the present with more clarity, perhaps you'd recognize that [[BlatantLies I'm not victimizing my daughter]], but merely [[{{Greed}} asking for a small portion of the ample proceeds from her veins]]. Alma is hurt only in your particular view of things. And while I'll sign no guarantee not to return, or against any future claim on her compassion, realize I do hate it here. And if you inhale and expel pure righteousness, my olfactories are keen to the smell of shit. Having heard all that and knowing, as you must, the injudiciousness of making an enemy of a man who could testify truthfully that, five minutes before her marriage, he heard his daughter wish her prospective husband dead, and who won't shrink from lying as to what she admitted to him on his arrival in this cesspool, as to her complicity in her husband's murder, [[TemptingFate I suppose you'd best take your swing.]]
* SmugSnake: Otis is deeply confident and assured with himself. Even after numerous threats and warnings, he still opens his mouth to insult a man who can beat the hell out of him. And that man does just that.
* TheSociopath: Remorselessly attempts to destroy his daughter's life just go gain her money.

-->''"If I were sheriff, I'd have you hanged."''
* CoolOldGuy: Despite being in his elder years, Crook blows through town in one episode, proves himself to be a genuinely good man and correctly asserts that Bullock would make a good sheriff.
-->'''Crook:''' Well, while we're here, I will hold Mr. Russell under protection as a gesture to your brother's sacrifice.
-->'''Bullock:''' Thank you, sir.
-->'''Crook:''' I would add, in a camp, where the sheriff can be bought for bacon grease, a man, a former marshal, who understands the danger of his own temperament, might consider serving his fellows. We all have bloody thoughts.

* FauxAffablyEvil: Initially, Otis can be pretty personable. He's witty, polite and even throws in a spot of self-deprecation. He'll still take you for all you're worth and sleep well that night.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Otis' putdown of Farnum is well-deserved, but somehow this trope is averted. Otis is such a reprehensible creature that Farnum actually comes off as holding the moral high ground in such an instance.
-->'''Farnum:''' Antemeridian constitutional, Mr. Russell? Or will we roll the bones again?
-->'''Otis:''' It must cost you sleep, the guests you drive off, the chances of thieving and bilking you lose, needing to rub against your betters.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: On the receiving end of a highly deserved one from Bullock.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: The singular reason that Otis even sets foot in Deadwood is to seize Alma's claim.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to Bullock...but it doesn't work out in his favour.
-->'''Bullock:''' I will beat you here in the street.
-->'''Otis:''' [[SarcasmMode First-rate thinking.]] My daughter's agent beats her father in the street, how better to condemn Alma to deepened suspicion as to her role in her husband's violent death and widen suspicion to include yourself? Shoot craps, Mr. Bullock? [[BullyHunter Were you bullied, Mr. Bullock, when young and incapable? Now you see wrongs everywhere and bullying you feel called to remedy.]] The bully who oppressed your youth isn't at the table with us, perhaps he's long dead. If you will view the present with more clarity, perhaps you'd recognize that [[BlatantLies I'm not victimizing my daughter]], but merely [[{{Greed}} asking for a small portion of the ample proceeds from her veins]]. Alma is hurt only in your particular view of things. And while I'll sign no guarantee not to return, or against any future claim on her compassion, realize I do hate it here. And if you inhale and expel pure righteousness, my olfactories are keen to the smell of shit. Having heard all that and knowing, as you must, the injudiciousness of making an enemy of a man who could testify truthfully that, five minutes before her marriage, he heard his daughter wish her prospective husband dead, and who won't shrink from lying as to what she admitted to him on his arrival in this cesspool, as to her complicity in her husband's murder, [[TemptingFate I suppose you'd best take your swing.]]
* SmugSnake: Otis is deeply confident and assured with himself. Even after numerous threats and warnings, he still opens his mouth to insult a man who can beat the hell out of him. And that man does just that.
* TheSociopath: Remorselessly attempts to destroy his daughter's life just go gain her money.
