Rip Wheeler

Rip Wheeler is an employee at Yellowstone. He is the "fixer" and sometimes the bruiser for the Dutton Family. He is also the husband of Bethany Dutton and John's son-in-law.

Rip is the long time ranch foreman for the Dutton family ranch. He came to the ranch as a teenager, after killing his abusive stepfather shortly after his own stepdad had already brutally murdered the rest of his estranged family. Rip was later found by John Dutton hiding in a barn covered in cuts and blood and John decided to take him in as a farmhand. Rip has since considered the Duttons his family, regardless of their feelings towards him, and is willing to do anything they ask of him. He even severed ties to his old past, especially disregarding his own birthday.
