Mysha - Lucas's 1/2 sister, he stands behind her no matter what, though she often tears the family apart over her jealousy and rivalry and insecurities, she is the President and CEO of HunterSouthworth, a female JR character. Nicolás - the third sibling, Lucas stands behind him no matter what, though he often tears the family apart as well, just as filled with jealousy and rivalry and insecurities as his sister, a prominent painter, a gay Gary like character. Sofia - Lucas's wife and Juan's sister, a Miss Ellie like character, a loving and trusting wife, mother and friend, based on the real life Jacquline Kennedy Juan - Mysha's husband and Sofia's brother and Lucas's best friend. He managed the ranches operates, is chief of security (a former Navy Seal) and Lucas's "goto man."  He is fine with his open marriage, viewing Mysha as more of a friend than a lover, Mysha is his 3rd wife, based on the real life Porfirio Rubirosa*Bobby or Uncle Bobby - visits and stays, a maternal figure to everyone, owns 1/3 the ranch, is Chairman of the board of HunterSouthworth, based on Augustus McCrae from Lonesome Dove*Ray or Dad - the father figure to everyone, Bobby and Ray are best friends and brothers, owns 1/2 the ranch, based on Woodrow Call from Lonesome DoveWadeNassar - a privately held, international food conglomerate based on small version Cargill.  Businesses include commodities trading, raising of livestock, farming and food production, and financial services as well as other investments.  It employs over 50,000 people in 20 countries and is big player in global grain prices.  Founded by Ray, Bobby and Gary after the last Dallas movie and before Dallas TNT and after they bought they Pradera ranch together.  Gary sold his share early on to buy West Fork back. Bobby and Ray turned the company over to old family friend Marvin Anderson, Jr. and then Lucas who built the company from a small investment into a billion dollar business in 10 years.  Ownership: 25% Bobby, 25% Ray, 25% Lucas (given when running the company), 10% Mysha (given while running the company), 10% Marvin Anderson, Jr. (given when running the company), 5% Nicolás (bought at the age of 14 from his first big art sale). Pradera - a beautiful Northern California ranch Bobby and Gary went in on buying with Ray years ago.  Gary lost interest when he repurchased West Fork and Bobby lost interest when he returned to South Fork, leaving Gary to oversee the property.  Gary had divorced Jenna and married and divorced again but kept Pradera for him and Lucas and then Mysha and Nicolás as they stayed with him.  While the 3 brothers still own the ranch together Lucas owns the sprawling main house with Sofia and HunterSouthworth owns the cattle operation. Marvin Anderson, Jr. (Gene Hackman) is the original chief antagonist.  Angry at being replaced by Lucas in the company.  He is now a California State Senator.  His son, Marvin Becker "Beck" Anderson (Eric Winter) is a prominent lawyer with Anderson and Anderson LLC.  Set up similar to the Barnes Ewing Feud from the start.</blockquote>
