If there’s one thing you most certainly don’t want to be, it’s an enemy of the Duttons. And if there’s one place you’d better try and avoid, it’s a trip to the train station. While Yellowstone on the Paramount Network is full of characters we love, what kind of show would it be without a good villain every now and again to spice things up?

6. Roarke Morris (Josh Holloway)

Though we loved Josh Holloway in Lost, his character in Yellowstone was a completely different story. This Market Equities villain wanted what nearly every Yellowstone villain wants: a piece of the Dutton Ranch. Regardless, he was no match for the Yellowstone clan, and the unfortunate villain met his end via rattlesnake thanks to Rip Wheeler, played by Cole Hauser.

5. Wade Morrow (Boots Southerland)

Isn’t it unfortunate when friends turn to foes? This was the case for Wade Morrow, who, at a time, wore the Yellowstone brand as a trusted member of the group. However, his relationship with John became strained over the years, and the icing on the cake was his joining forces with Roarke Morris. In the end, a trip to the train station proved he was no match for the Duttons.

Garrett Randall was the biological father of Jamie Dutton who, once reconnecting with his son, proved to be a threat to the Duttons when he tried to orchestrate a hit against them. In the end, it was Jamie who put an end to his father, killing him and taking him to the train station — where Beth met him with a camera to use the recording as blackmail.

The first Yellowstone villain we’re presented with, Dan Jenkins was slimy from the start. While perhaps not the most fear-inducing villain of the bunch and he did end up switching sides aligning with the Duttons, his position as the debut villain made him hard to like up until his death. 

2. The Beck Brothers (Neal McDonough and Terry Serpico)

This ruthless duo weren’t much different from other Yellowstone villains in that they wanted a piece of the ranch like anyone else, but their means of acquiring it and taking down the Duttons, including the kidnapping of Kayce’s son Tate Dutton, were frightful.
