Characters in Redemption

Characters in Red Dead Redemption all possess different personalities, habits and individual routines. Despite the fact that in the game the era known as the "wild" west is coming to an end, most of the characters seem to retain most of the traits, values, and personalities that are synonymous with this period. There are two protagonists in the game, the main one being John Marston, and the other being his son Jack Marston who is played as at the very end of the game or by using a cheat code. John Marston will meet and interact with a variety of different characters in the game. According to the LA Times, non-playable characters will number approximately 500. While interacting with these characters adds a level of interest to the game and advances the existing plot, none of them offer alternative plots or sub-plots to the game.

The trailer titled "Gentlemen and Vagabonds" was released on March 24, 2010. The trailer features fiddle music and highlights four main characters: Nigel West Dickens, a salesman that tries to peddle his "snake oil", claiming that it cures all ailments,and is pestered by angry mobs, likely those who are disgruntled with his tincture; Irish, a drunk who is always missing when a fight breaks out; Seth Briars, a crazy exhumer and treasure hunter, and Professor Harold MacDougal, a professor from Yale (And drug-addict) who struggles to deal with the pressures of the West. There are also a number of female characters such as a rancher called Bonnie MacFarlane.
