Al Swearengen.
  • Season 1: Summer/Fall 1876: Soon after Custer's Last Stand, the first season of Deadwood takes place six months after the founding of the camp. Most of those who live far and outside of the camp have dreams of living in Deadwood to get richer and have a gold claim; however, when they arrive, new citizens find that Deadwood is unlike it has been told. It is a lawless, godless place where greed and corruption rule and in order to make your fortune you have to make yourself something.
  • Season 2: End of Spring/ Early Summer 1877: One year after the events that occurred previously in the camp of Deadwood, Seth Bullock has become the Sheriff with Charlie Utter as his deputy, what was once a lawless place has miraculously become orderly. The camp is progressing swimmingly with many inventions that later have become a necessity such as the telegram and a bank. Former Bella Union hostess Joanie Stubbs has formed her own brothel called the Chez Amis. Both a well-connected geologist and a government official have arrived at the camp to the dismay of the other residents. Al Swearengen is still known as the "unofficial" head of the camp.
