Added DiffLines:

* SmallTownTyrant: Preston definitely gives off this vibe, as the mayor, sheriff and landlord of a gold-mining BoomTown. He uses his deputies as muscle to enforce what little law he wants in town, owns most of the saloons, and tries to bribe the Marshal to stay out of town business and let the money flow into his pockets. However, while he is quite thoroughly corrupt, and something of a FeudalOverlord over the place, he's not really ''evil''.

Added DiffLines:

* GoodIsNotNice: He's a hero trying to stop criminals. He's also kind of an asshole and not particularly sociable.
