Dave Perkins
Oldest of the Perkins brothers, Dave is the slowest to anger, but most skilled brawler. He learned most of his skills bailing out his hot-headed little brothers. Like his two younger brothers, he is a competent cowboy working at the <ranch>. Because of the seemingly constant trouble his brothers cause, Dave drinks and gambles the least.
With both of his parents dead, Dave sees it as his responsibility to ensure the Perkins name goes on, and he is dedicated to building a legacy. To this end, he saves 75% of his earnings and is planning on buying a ranch of his own in the next few years. He hopes that once he does, his younger brothers will settle down and they can prosper as a family.
Dave is married and has an infant son and 6 year old daughter.
Even though Dave is basically a law abiding and honorable man, his devotion to his brothers will lead him to do anything necessary to keep them out of trouble. He is willing to bend, or break, the law in any way to ensure they have their freedom. He is no fool, however, and if it comes to doing something unsavory he will ensure his plan is sound so that he does not compound any issues by getting himself caught as well.
