Here is another great character that i like, one track mind, does thing's to his way of the law, 
Seth Bullock
Bullock was a native of Ontario and the son of a stern British sergeant-major, Seth Bullock left home for good at the age of sixteen and ended up in Montana during the silver strikes of the 1860s. A natural leader, he held a number of elected positions in his early twenties and was eventually appointed Sheriff of Montana Territory.
Bullock heard of all the big gold strikes up around the Black Hills, Bullock made his way to Deadwood not to prospect for gold, but to open a hardware store with his business partner and friend Sol Star, he did give this a good go but with his staunch ideas of right and wrong it didn't take long for him to be pulled right back into the law and order life of a lawman, especially when he befriended Wild Bill Hickok, who was killed while playing cards, then he rides out after the murderer of Hickok and brings him back to Deadwood's own justice.
Bullock's sense of honor also leads him to keep an eye on the interests of Alma Garret, who had sought Wild Bill's help in defending her suddenly promising gold claim. Fulfilling his promise to help her, Bullock becomes romantically involved with Alma, despite the impending arrival of his wife and children, who, Alma learns, had been the family of Bullock's now-dead brother.
Too appalled to stand by and watch the brand of justice enforced by Con Stapleton, the default Sheriff of Deadwood, Bullock has given in to his own nature (and to Swearengen's urging) and has accepted the job.
