Character Analysis

(Avoiding Spoilers)

Overview… a U.S. Marshal in search of the murderous General “Bloodbath” McGrath. Gordon prefers to work alone, preferring diplomacy and espionage to violence: “I have always felt that allowing any situation to degenerate into physical violence constitutes a failure on my part.” In order to capture General McGrath and his nefarious associates, he’s been assigned a trigger-happy partner, the infamous Jim West. Before they can capture the rogue General and his evil friend, Dr. Loveless, the two agents will have to learn to work together.

Personality… uptight, resourceful, and sophisticated. Artemus can seemingly whip up an invention anywhere. Not only that, but he has a talent for French cooking, too. He’s extremely well-educated for a U.S. Marshal, which is perhaps how he’s mastered the art of disguise.
