Nigel West Dickens

West Dickens is an old swindler who poses as a traveling salesman.

Information
He's really a con man and is purported to have unique miracle cures for many medical and psychological problems, which he calls Nigel West Dickens' Elixir. He is an impeccable dresser and travels in an opulent emblazoned stagecoach.

History
Ryan Lee, after having worked with Marshal Leigh Johnson to clear Pike's Basin, is tipped off by deputy George that West Dickens has gone missing. He states that West Dickens is missed by his repeat customers in Armadillo. Marshal Johnson equates West Dickens with a drug dealer.

Lee finds West Dickens having been shot and exposed to the elements not far from his stagecoach south of Coot's Chapel with Infected rapidly closing in, and returns him to the doctor in Armadillo while fighting off bandits and infected who want to finish the job.

Despite Lee's personal dislike of him, West Dickens becomes the central networker and orchestrator of Lee's plan to assault Fort Mercer. West Dickens puts Lee in contact with Hank and Irish, as well as supplying his newly armored stagecoach and uses the "Trojan horse" strategy to deceive the outlaws.

The attack does well, but they find out that Daryl Dixon had escaped yesterday's morning. Irish then volunteers to take Ryan into Mexico on a barge. West Dickens suggests that he intends to travel abroad, having exhausted customers in the New Austin region. When Lee meets Irish at his barge on the way to Mexico, West Dickens is seen talking with Irish. This is when he tells them he is off to Europe or China.

He is later seen in the Blackwater police building, being arrested for possession and distribution of narcotics. Ryan immediately recognizes him and tells the officers to release him, stating he helped him catch Daryl Dixon, with Archer Fordham claiming (in a sarcastic manner) that he is a hero. He is then let go.
