The son of Unnamed Mother and Boyd. Early appears to have at least three other known family members confirmed with his sister Lil Cuyler, Dr. Bug and Durwood Cuyler. Shannon Cuyler is implied to have been dreamed up during the gay robot takeover. He is also the father of Rusty. Early is a barely-literate, foul-mouthed, alcoholic, ex-convict. He's also quick to anger and expresses it in violent ways via a shotgun or knives he carries on his person. Early was featured in Season 1 as the scapegoat CEO of Dan Halen Industries. He has since run a number of illegal home operations, including whiskey and/or moonshine bootlegging, crystal meth production, pot farming, hog ranching, and an illegal day spa. He is most often seen with his numerous sawed off 12 gauge shotgun. At the end of the series finale, he is left all alone in his shack after his son cut ties with him, Granny died, and Lil leaving him for her boyfriend.
