History Characters / OldWest

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Delilah is a murderous outlaw, but she doesn't believe it'd be good news to have Irvin Worst at the top of the Gunslinger Court.

* VisionaryVillain: According to himself, he's following the same path as the late Tortoise John in modernizing the West, only with using in it [[spoiler:gold]] instead of water.
* WouldHurtAChild: Following his VillainousBreakdown, he [[spoiler:has Teddy kidnapped to lure Grace (as well as Jake and Rango) into his trap]].

* YouWouldntShootMe: When Rango holds Ramirez at gunpoint, the coyote laughs and questions if the sheriff can live with actually killing him. Rango does see Ramirez's point, but doesn't back away.

* PreMortemOneLiner: Gives one to [[spoiler:Benjamin]] before injecting venom into him.

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: While he {{took a level in badass}} in the movie, he's still a seemingly ditzy oddball who talks himself into trouble and gets out by bluffing. However, he still shows occasionally how ''he'' is the one who defeated Rattlesnake Jake a year earlier.

* ThisMeansWar: After he's injured by a hawk and learns of how Irvin Worst and Ramirez Arvenga are using that to advance their agendas with the Gunslinger Court, Jake decides to prepare for a big retribution.

* ClassyCane: Has one, but eventually smashes it into splinters during his [[VillainousBreakdown meltdown]].

* VillainousBreakdown: The continuous failures stretch Dufayel's patience bit by bit, culminating in him smashing objects with his cane following the death of [[spoiler:Benjamin Hares]]. When he's later informed that [[spoiler:his account is empty]], he [[TantrumThrowing throws his chair]] against the wall and orders Ramirez to drive the heroes away anyhow he can.

[[folder:Theodore "Teddy" Abraham Glossy]]

[[folder:Grace Mary Glossy]]

The main antagonist. A wealthy French-speaking fox who invested the EvilPlan of the late Tortoise John. He attempts to make the residents of Mud and anyone else in the area to leave any way he can so that he can harvest the [[spoiler:great underground gold deposit]].

* EvilPlan: Have Mud's area cleared out and harvest the [[spoiler:great underground gold deposit]].

* FauxAffablyEvil: He acts in a polite and sophisticated way, and he prefers handling things in a civilized way. However, when his charm fails or you refuse to cooperate, he makes it clear how ruthless he can be.

* VillainousBreakdown: The continuous failures stretch Dufayel's patience bit by bit, culminating in him smashing objects with his cane following the death of [[spoiler:Benjamin Hares]].

* BadassGrandpa: Very few outlaws survive to live as long as Reth has.

* IAmNotMyFather: Jake refuses to ever drink himself into drunkenness due to his father who was an AlcoholicParent and a DomesticAbuser. When he finds Grace beaten by her husband, his resulting Unstoppable Rage is partly influenced by the memory of his parents and his father's words of Jake becoming a man like him. In the following chapter, Jake continues acting on this trope by ultimately deciding ''not'' to [[DrowningMySorrows drink in order to cope with his strained relationship with Grace]].

* Drowning My Sorrows: After Grace has thrown Jake out following [[spoiler:Benjamin's death]], Rango finds Jake in the saloon... [[SubvertedTrope furiously sulking and holding a glass of untouched glass of whiskey which he eventually smashes]].

* TheSociopath: A short-sighted conman prone to blameshifting and running away from his own troubles? Check. Has charmed a young lady to marry him against the wishes of her father, then betrayed her by abandoning her without leaving her anything, only returning ten years later to sell her home in order to save his own hide again? Check. Shows a hidden violent side when his flattery, guilt-tripping and feigned concern have failed him? Check. Benjammin's quite a realistic example of this trope.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Treats Benjamin Hares roughly after he has captured the conman. Giving what a slimeball the gopher snake proves himself to be,

* PreMortemOneLiner: Gives one to [[spoiler:Benjamin]] before injecting poison into him.

* SnakesAreSinister: He may not be nearly as formidable as Jake or Henry, but he's not a good guy either.
* TheSociopath: Benjamin's a short-sighted conman prone to blameshifting and running away from his own troubles. He charmed Grace to marry him against the wishes of her father, then betrayed her by abandoning her without leaving her anything, only returning ten years later to sell her home in order to save his own hide again. When his flattery, guilt-tripping and feigned concern have failed him, he resorts to beating up his wife without any signs of remorse.

* TokenEvilTeammate: He works with Rango and his friends against Dufayel, but he's still the ruthless GrimReaper of the West.

* ShadowArchetype: Like with Rango, Benjamin's vices include pretentiousness and cowardness. Rango was exposed as a fraud but returned to save Dirt as a true hero, and even though he hasn't fully lost his vices, he attempts to do the right thing as a sheriff. Benjamin in turn is an incorrigible conman who cares firstly about himself and his own safety. He charmed Grace to marry him and left her penniless to escape his debts, returning ten years later with false regrets to sell her out again and get his debts covered. In short, Benjamin is what Rango could have become if he didn't care about the well-being of others and had never risen above his vices.

Rango was exposed as a fraud and returned to save Dirt as a true hero, and even though he hasn't fully lost his vices, he attempts to do the right thing as a sheriff. Benjamin in turn was and is still an incorrigible conman who cares firstly about himself. In short, Benjamin is what Rango could have become as a cowardly fraud who picks up his own well-being before those of others.
