Nope. He just works here.

EDIT: And, for both me and Matt: Is Deadwood a Union settlement? Does it fall under the USA's jurisdiction? It's got a Marshal, but I don't now. MAtt rolled a 12 on Knowledge Law
That's...complicated. Deadwood was an illegal settlement, set up in violation of the treaty between the US and the Sioux. The Deadwood Creek treaty made Deadwood legal, but it's in Sioux-held territory, which is technically a sovereign nation. According to the Deadwood Creek Treaty, there are
not supposed to be federal troops here (Custer is acting as a rogue agent), but since Custer has the largest armed force in the area, he can pretty much break any rues he wants as long as he can enforce his will, and he's declared martial law and a state of emergency. The Chinese are not US citizens, and so they have to see to their own policing (much of which is done by Iron Dragon, and so tends to skew in Iron Dragon's interests).
