He is played by Guy Boyd in the Pilot episode, and by Orson Bean for the rest of the series.

Loren Bray is the grumpy, widowed owner of the town's general store whose only real adult friends are Jake, Hank, and Dorothy. His best friend is Brian, whom he got to know from Brian's frequent visits to the store for candy. They form a close bond with Loren often taking on a grandfatherly role in which he teaches Brian many of life's hard lessons.

Loren could be described as quite bigoted, and is often quick to join the mob. In one infamous episode (The First Circle), Loren -- along with several of the townsfolk -- joins the KKK and tries to hang Robert E.. He is sexist, refusing oftentimes to help or be helped by women who are not conforming to traditional gender roles. He is outspoken against immigrants and the native Cheyenne population, with the exception of Cloud Dancing whom he grows to consider a "good Indian."

He is the father to Abagail Sully, Byron Sully's first wife, whom he loses when she dies during child birth. His wife Maude dies in the pilot episode from a coronary embolism.

In season 4, Loren proposes to Dorothy Jennings, his late wife's sister, but rescinds his proposal after suffering a stroke that puts him in a temporary coma.
