Stock western character who may ride off into the sunset by himself (5)

I believe the answer is:

loner

(Other definitions for loner that I've seen before include "One preferring to act individually" , "Solitary person" , "One shunning society" , "Enrol (anag)" , "One shunning company" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
