Travellers
| Name | Portrayed by | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Dale Malloy | Todd Stashwick | Dahlia's cousin, and self-proclaimed new head of the Malloy Traveller clan. Dale has a violent and unpredictable temper. He and Wayne seem to have a long-standing hatred for each other. Dale was a former rival for Dahlia's affections, ultimately losing out to Wayne. He has shown flashes of sociopathic behavior from early childhood, culminating in him murdering his father to usurp leadership of the clan. After torturing Ken to exact information on the Malloy's location, Dale travels to Edenfalls and works his way into the Malloy's con first by initiating a sexual relationship with Hartley Underwood, and then by blackmailing Wayne into letting him on as a partner in his con and giving him a job as a mail-boy at PANCO. |
| Earl Malloy (deceased) | Red West | Dale's father; former head of the Malloy clan. His unspecified illness has left him an invalid and unable to speak. When Wayne was stealing the family bank from a safe in Earl's room, Earl could have sounded the alarm by ringing a bell, but apparently chose not to; it was later indicated that he preferred Wayne as the next clan head. He seems to have been a good leader, winning the love, respect and admiration of both Dale and Wayne. Earl was eventually murdered by Dale, who feared losing his power within the clan. |
| Ginny Dannegan | Nichole Hiltz | A social climber within the clan, she is determined to marry her slow-witted brother Ken to Di Di to secure a connection between her family and the ruling Malloy line. Although she is pregnant she continually drinks. Dale approved of her match without the knowledge of Wayne or Dahlia. Ginny and Dale are increasingly at odds, with Ginny attempting to undermine Dale's aims to become the new clan boss. In the second season, she is seen with a child having given birth though the child's sex is a mystery. It is heavily implied that her father and uncle were murdered by Eamon Quinn. |
| Ken Dannegan | Nate Mooney | Ginny's brother, who is in love with Di Di, but extremely dim-witted due to a fever he suffered in his youth. Ginny attempts to blackmail the Malloy's into marrying off Di Di to Ken, until Ken finally realizes that Di Di doesn't love him or want to marry him, and agrees to let her go, promising he will protect the family from Ginny. After the Malloys escape from the forced marriage attempt, Dale tortures Ken to exact the Malloy's location. |
| Tammy Simms | Johanna E. Braddy | Cael's girlfriend. He left her behind at the Traveller camp when the family fled; Dale used her, against her will, in an attempt to find out where the Malloys had gone with the family bank, an attempt which proved at first unfruitful for Dale, but which led Ginny back to the Riches' house, ultimately opening the entire Traveller can-of-worms over the Malloys. |
| Linda & Mick O'Malley | Andrea Frankle, John McConnell | Travellers from another clan who come across Wayne and the family at a gas station as they are making their escape from the Malloy camp. Wayne and Mick have a disagreement, ending in an RV chase that ultimately causes the car accident which kills the real Riches. Dale asks them to kill Wayne, but Mick winds up accidentally shooting Linda in the shoulder. |
| Eamon Quinn | Jared Harris | A Traveller released from prison as of Season 2 who is involved with Dale's blackmailing of the Malloys. Like Wayne, he is relatively intelligent, frequently quoting authors like Joyce and Yeats, and claims to have received a Master's in Philosophy from the University of Phoenix while in prison. He has a history of bad blood with Wayne and the Malloy family prior to his incarceration that is implied to have involved betrayals and at least several murders. Following Cael's leaving Eden Falls, Quinn begins to act as somewhat of a father figure toward him, a position he uses as leverage to get closer to Wayne's Bayou Hills operation. |
| Rosaleen | Sarah Jones | A young Traveller currently widowed from her young husband. She met Cael after he left Eden Falls and became romantically involved with him, convincing him to join her in her travels, which ultimately brought him back to the Traveler's camp and Quinn. |

Famous quotes containing the word travellers:
“There is the grand truth about Nathaniel Hawthorne. He says NO! in thunder; but the Devil himself cannot make him say yes. For all men who say yes, lie; and all men who say no,—why, they are in the happy condition of judicious, unincumbered travellers in Europe; they cross the frontiers into Eternity with nothing but a carpet-bag,—that is to say, the Ego. Whereas those yes-gentry, they travel with heaps of baggage, and, damn them! they will never get through the Custom House.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Rosalind. Well, this is the forest of Arden.
Touchstone. Ay, now am I in Arden, the more fool I.
When I was at home, I was in a better place, but travellers must be content.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We are like travellers using the cinders of a volcano to roast their eggs. Whilst we see that it always stands ready to clothe what we would say, we cannot avoid the question whether the characters are not significant of themselves.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
