Wyatt (played by James Ransone) is a protagonist in The Timber.
Wyatt is Samuel's brother and the more vengeful of the two men seeking their estranged father. He wants to kill the father rather than bring him back alive, is suspected of murder by Sheriff Snow, and persists through ambushes, captivity, and starvation before losing a knife fight with his father. Samuel (played by Josh Peck) appears in The Timber.
Samuel is Wyatt's brother and a family man facing eviction from his land. Unlike Wyatt, he insists that their father should be taken alive, though he later turns back from the journey before rejoining it. After witnessing his father's violence, Samuel kills him and returns to his wife. Jebediah (played by William Gaunt) appears in The Timber.
Jebediah is Wyatt and Samuel's estranged father, rumored to have become violent after his mine failed. He rules a harsh camp, imprisons his sons and forces them into labor, kills a captive who leads them to him, and defeats Wyatt in a knife fight before Samuel finally kills him. Sheriff Snow (played by David Bailie) appears in The Timber.
Sheriff Snow is the lawman investigating the recent murder and initially suspects Wyatt. He later assists Samuel's wife when armed men attempt to enforce a foreclosure, helping her kill several attackers and the banker before an oil discovery on the land changes the family's prospects.
