There are a large number of characters that you will come into contact with, or play as, during Westward III: Gold Rush, and each has different characteristics and purposes within the game. The following are the three main characters available to play in the game, along with other characters important in your quest.

| Polly Hatchet: Polly is fiercely independent, resourceful, and skilled at wrangling and ranching. Her husband served in the war with Mexico under General Amos Cutter, but he was killed in action. After a mighty storm tore through her ranch and left her nearly destitute, she traveled West in hopes of striking it rich and starting a new life. Playing as Polly will unlock the Ranch for free.

Amos Cutter: General Cutter is a retired military general who served in the war with Mexico in 1846. After the U.S. won the war in 1848, and the treaty of Guadelup Hidalgo was signed, General Cutter headed home. Always prone to helping those in need, General Cutter met Redd and his family during his trip home. Underneath the General's calm, gentlemanly manner, and the slight limp from an old war wound, he is a shrewd tactician and a crack shot. Playing as Amos will unlock the Gun Shop for free.

Shawnee Longfeather: Shawnee Longfeather is the daughter of an Iroquois medicine woman and an American military captain. Her father was called up to serve in the war against Mexico, but never returned. When she was old enough to leave her tribe, Shawnee's desire for adventure led her out West to start a new life. She is tough and resourceful, skilled in both tribal medicine and living off the land. Playing as Shawnee will unlock the Tannery for free.
