Have met such freaky dudes in my life. Honest.
Generally that twisted relation to the universe is a serious survival handicap. You see lots of people on the streets to attest to that. But sometimes such a person has a major singular talent through which they deal with life. It becomes the swiss-army knife of their existance. In Early's case, he was good at tracking people down. The rest of him is just seriously twisty.

sometimes you cling too hard to what you have Early knew how to read people and it got to the point he thought he saw into them.
With Hope because love is nothing without hope.

HighIron02 hit it right on the head. Early's character and his lines have Joss written all over them. Early & River are supposed to be opposite sides of the same coin.

Early freaks me out because he displays classic symptoms of an antisocial personality disorder (I just took a psychology class, see). His chraming personality, his strange association with words and language, the implied killing of his dog. I can't recall exactly all of the symptoms, but it's generally a dysfunctional relationship with the world. They're usually trying to compensate for some flaw in their lives, but a malfunction in the brain causes them to act out in a violent manner.
These are the people who become serial killers, the people you read about who, say, charm women into their homes and then brutally murder them.
That's why he scares me. Look it up, and you'll see how eerie it is.

I thought he was a brilliant character, really creepy. He was clearly insane which made it easier for him to be totally focused on finding and taking River; he couldn't be dissuaded by money or by reason for not taking her.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
