Dave Reeves

Dave Reeves is one of the wealthiest men of Hoop 'n Holler. He runs a wool factory, and as such he's very rich, and so is his business partner and associate, Chuck Carstairs, who merged his company with Dave's in order to save it. While he and Chuck appear to be making honest money, Dave actually has illegal connections spanning across the West and has his own gang, which he uses to do his dirty work. He is one of the main antagonists in the Protector arc. 
==History==
He and Chuck dress down Droop-a-Long in front of most of the town and make him cry, which results in Ricochet beating both of them up. Angered, Dave decides to get revenge on both Ricochet and Droop-a-Long by having Ricochet lose his job as sheriff and having his men kill Droop-a-Long. Aside from a misunderstanding by one of his men, the plan works until one of his men, Zeb, mentions that Ricochet was released from jail due to Droop-a-Long getting him out. With that knowledge, Dave plans on offing Ricochet in the midst of his grief for Droop-a-Long, but a twist in the case causes his plans to be ruined. 
==Personality==
Dave pretends to be a nice person who is courteous to others, but that is only a facade--he has a very nasty personality and isn't above harassing and blackmailing people to get what he wants, as Droop-a-Long can attest to. He has a hatred for Droop-a-Long which is a mix between extreme jealousy and racism, and between him and Chuck, he is the greater of the two evils. He has anger issues as well as an inflated ego, which has been used to his disadvantage several times.
