	Al Swearengen, played by Ian McShane Al Swearengen is the owner of the Gem Saloon. He was one of the original people who set up the camp. At the beginning of season one he has almost complete control over Deadwood. As time progresses and more & more people and businesses arrive, Al is forced to give up more of his power and control. Al wants the increased legitimacy and respect, so he grudgingly gives up power in order to be an official civic leader. The Al Swearengen character is based on the real-life Deadwood pioneer, Al Swearengen.
