Raylan

Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens is a 19th-century style lawman in the 21st-century, a quirky but dedicated marshal who, having committed a justified killing in Florida (he shot a mob hit man who had just drawn a gun on him with intent to kill, although Raylan was hoping he would draw his weapon to give him an excuse to shoot him), has been re-assigned to his hometown in Kentucky.

Having grown up in Harlan County and having spent much of his life trying to escape from it, Raylan is not pleased to be sent back there. Ghosts from his past, including his ex-wife, a former friend now involved in criminal militia activity, a criminal father, and his own persistent anger management issues, all come back to haunt him. Born and raised in rural Harlan County, Kentucky raised by his abusive, emotionally estranged father Arlo Givens, his mother Frances Givens and his stepmother Helen Givens, Frances' sister. Raylan's childhood was turbulent, mainly due to his out-of-control father who was a career criminal and troublemaker. As a young boy, he would frequently run away and stay at his Aunt Helen's, who was the first person he knew with cable television. When his mother died Helen later married Arlo. Raylan would become familiar with Kentucky's criminal element through Arlo, knowledge that would later prove useful. In his late teen years, Raylan worked the coal mines with his childhood friend Boyd Crowder. Crowder's family was also heavily involved in Kentucky's criminal underworld.

A thin, rangy, and stylish 40-year-old, look blends modern law enforcement with 19th-century Western fashion with a flat-brimmed Stetson 4x hat, sharp suits, and a concealed weapon. Possesses a cool, confident, and often intimidating demeanor, frequently described as a modern-day gunfighter. Volatile & Intense: Despite his calm exterior is described as the angriest man by his ex-wife often suppressing rage stemming from his abusive upbringing. Moral Ambiguity: While acting for the side of good he is an anti-hero who frequently uses extra-legal dirty methods to force violent confrontations, often creating situations where he is justified in killing. Confident & Charming: Carries himself with a quiet, magnetic confidence and uses a boyish charm to disarm people. Stubborn & Driven: Relentless in pursuit of his targets often disregarding orders from his boss, Art. Familial Conflict: He is deeply affected by his criminal father, Arlo, and tries to separate himself from his Harlan County roots. Mentor/Father Figures: He maintains a respectful, albeit strained, relationship with his boss, Art. Romantic Struggles: He struggles with intimacy, preferring danger to emotional commitment.
