Tolliver, Farnum, Jarry and Mose are all pawns of Wolcott's, and Wolcott himself is an agent of Hearst. It's unclear, however, to what extent his manipulations are of his own design or direct instruction from Hearst.

A man inadequately sophisticated or merely ignorant, or simply stupid, may believe himself past surprise, then be surprised to discover, for example, that Mr. Hearst already knows of my inclinations and finds them immaterial. Suggesting as a corollary that your skills for blackmail and manipulation no longer are assets to you, and for your fatuous belief in their efficacy, in fact have become liabilities. In short, you've overplayed your hand. Now I should think, in consequence, now recognizing yourself as a man past his time, that during this last transitional period you would devote yourself with grateful and quiet diligence to such uses as others may still find you suitable."''

Mining magnate and one of the richest men in the world at the time[[note]]If you are wondering, he is the founder of ''that'' Hearst family[[/note]], George Hearst arrives at Deadwood with the purpose of adding its rich gold deposits to his empire... and if that means destroying the whole town and [[KickTheDog kicking as many puppies]] as they get in his way, [[TheSociopath so be it]].

->'''Played By:''' Garret Dillahunt
Head geologist and trusted field agent of mining magnate George Hearst, Wolcott arrives in Deadwood to clear the way for his boss. He also hides quite a few disturbing secrets.
* AffablyEvil: His self-deprecating humor is disarming.

* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: After George Hearst fires him, Wolcott is briefly seen trying and failing to enjoy the jubilant atmosphere of Alma's wedding to Ellsworth.

* CityMouse
* DirtyCoward
* {{Jerkass}}
* ProfessionalButtKisser: To the point where Hearst is prompted to ask him, 'Do you want to fuck me?'. Of course, it was due to a metaphorical mix-up involving Socrates, but then Jarry launches into a little monologue about how if he WERE courting him, he'd be great at it.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat
