Personality
Don Peckinpah is an affable, sly and brutal outlaw who's comfortable living in constant danger.
Don Peckinpah is a murderous outlaw who is said to have been born evil. He's described as have done any evil thing he could, has killed 27 people so far, and has a bounty of $10,000 as a result. Don Peckinpah is shown having gunned down a man without thinking about it twice. When he loses against Mike Harper, Peckinpah loses his calm and threatens to kill a beggar, then draws his gun on Harper with he learns that Harper is cheating.
Don Peckinpah is also fairly proud and sly. While he actually complimented his would-be assassin on his ingenious attack, Peckinpah then insists that he was still the fastest draw and the smarter man. Peckinpah makes it a point to show off at cardistry just to assert his dominance, and doesn't take it well when Harper begins to beat him; likewise, Harper's ways of casually outsmarting him in a conversation irk him. While he begins to get angry, Peckinpah attempts to perform a devious scheme: he goads Harper into betting his gun, knowing that bounty hunter will kill him the moment he's disarmed, and tries to cheat at poker. When he thinks of an evil plan, Peckinpah harbours a sinister grin.
Peckinpah maintains an affable facade, being cordial to the average citizens of the town he's currently in (for instance, he does pay his barber despite being an outlaw). He also strikes a conversation with Mike Harper and tries to be friendly.
Peckinpah considers that remembering things is stupid and prefers to forget, although Harper having a better memory annoys him.
