A Person of God
People of faith are often depicted as gunslingers in Western fiction. Many are fallen ministers driven to violent revenge, while others are righteous servants of the Lord who seek to punish evildoers themselves, as instruments of their God. Men or women of God might be of any denomination, and may be itinerant (traveling) preachers or settled in a town with their own flock—perhaps even the charismatic leader of a large religious community à la Joseph Smith’s Mormons.
Some of the more notable fictional examples in film include Willie Nelson as The Red-Headed Stranger and Eric Fleming in the Western vampire film Curse of the Undead. The bitter hero of Joe Lansdale’s novel Dead in the West is a fallen preacher. Even David Carradine’s Kane from the old Kung-Fu TV series might qualify as a priest-like character.
