Sheriff John "Red" Johnston
A man with no imagination, perhaps, but Johnston has got plenty on his plate these days. A Texan born in 1829, the Sheriff doesn't trust much but the law, and now even that isn't enough.

Hattie Moon
Hattie was born in Alabama, c. 1810, in the Old Creek Nation (East). She runs a small inn in the Creek Nation (West). Hattie is the daughter of a Creek warrior his Irish wife.

Polecat
Miss Hattie's man from Alabama. Polecat doesn't trust anybody and Marshals are his least favorite. Polecat is widely sought out by people of all tribes for his abilities as a healer.

Neargasaw Fred
A Horse Thief and general no-gooder. Fred married a Creek woman to avoid the hangman's noose.
Recently, Fred's attitude towards the Sheriff has changed from out-right hostility to doggish loyalty.

Ellen Leechtree
Ellen is Neargasaw Fred's Muskogee (Creek) niece, by marriage, born in 1849. Ellen's childhood memories include watching as her tribe became politically divided over the Civil War. This event has shaped Ellen's character and made her weary of the world.

The Two Boys
These "Ghost Children" are anything but playful.

"Cottonmouth" Jones
Although he wanders the land alone, Jones was once one of the last of a largely ignored cult. But now he wants to start over-marry, raise a family. Jones is quite handy with elixirs and axe handles.

"The Three"
Are they truly brothers, or members of a secret religious group extinct in the old country? Like Jones, their age is indeterminate.

Marshal Blythe
Feared even by his own men, Blythe sided with the Confederates while he was a Union Militia leader. The Marshal acts as the Judge's right hand, and will stop at nothing to bring outlaws to "justice".

Jim "Buffalo" Chavis
Buffalo's family, freed upon reaching Indian Territory after the "Trail of Tears" in the 1830s, started a farm in the Freedmans Town near the Cherokee Nation. But farmer's life is not enough for Chavis any more. Will he choose the path of his outlaw friend Panther or walk a new road?

Ned Panther Cole
Born in the Republic of Texas, c. 1840. Cole's father, Elias Cole, was a white farmer married to a Cherokee woman named Tied Knot. As the Texans began forcing the Indians and Mexicans out of fertile farmland, the Cole Family resisted. Elias was shot down in front of his six year-old boy, the family fled to join the rest of the Cherokees in I.T.

William (White Crane) Allen
Torn from his family at an early age, and educated in Ivy-league universities, Allen has little connection with his Indian roots. Allen's gentleman's baring hides his true desire for social acceptance.
