Red Dead Online protagonist

In Red Dead Online, the protagonist is a player-created character, with highly customizable traits.

Background
At some point during their life, the protagonist visited Blackwater. Coincidentally, at around the same time of day, a man by the name of Philip LeClerk was murdered. As a result, the protagonist was accused of murdering the man, and was sent to Sisika Penitentiary, where they were meant to spend six months in manual labor before their execution.

Events of Red Dead Online
In 1898, roughly one week before they were meant to be executed, as the protagonist, alongside other inmates, were being transported by Milliken and another guard to perform penal labor outside of prison, Horley and two other armed men intercepted the wagon.

The protagonist was freed alongside the rest of prisoners, though he was instructed by Horley to stay with him. The protagonist followed their rescuer to a campsite and where they met Jessica LeClerk, the widowed wife of the man the protagonist was accused of having killed. Seeking to avenge her husband's death, Mrs. LeClerk charged the protagonist with finding the real culprits. The protagonist was also introduced to JB Cripps, who helps them establish a new camp.

Personality
In cutscenes, the protagonist seems to be a calm and collected individual when dealing with their associates and employers. The online protagonist’s psychosis and actions are determined by the player. They can be anything from a peaceful wanderer to a deranged outlaw, all depending on player choice.

Appearance
According to the height chart, the male protagonist stands at 6'3" (1.91 m), while the female protagonist stands at 5'9" (1.75 m). The heights cannot be altered. The player can determine the protagonist's physical appearance, gender, age, ethnicity, build, and name.

Trivia

 * The player can select any age between 18 to 60 years old. This means that the protagonist was born between 1838 and 1880.
