Clayton Sharpe

 is a gun-for-hire residing in Deadwood. He is played by Matthew Mercer.

Personality
Clayton is described to be a reserved and stoic individual. He tends to keep a level-headed but cautious outlook in most situations. He can often be found keeping one hand on the holster of his Colt in any precarious situation. Clayton likes to keep to himself and doesn't trust in others easily, if at all. More than anything Clayton does not appreciate being the center of attention. He prefers anonymity and speaking only when necessary. This is perhaps due to a hinted past where he had some former notoriety he is trying to get away from. Upon learning that Al Swearengen was keeping tabs on him, he attempted to pay one of his men for information on anyone else also trying to watch Clayton.

Clayton has displayed a very pragmatic methodology. He will often take a simple, no-nonsense approach to problems, solving them in the most direct way possible. He had no hesitation in descending into a mining pit to retrieve the body of an unknown creature, or in cutting off the head of a dead miner for examination.
