Curly Shaw

"Curly" Shaw was a traveling merchant in Red Dead Revolver.

Red Harlow first met him when he arrived at the Twin Rocks and he offered him some goods, only to be disturbed by Bloody Tom's boys. Red kills them all along with Tom himself. Red takes the three wanted men in Curly's wagon to Widow's Patch to collect the bounty.

Red may encounter him again while traveling through Rouge Valley, where he shows Red the right way to go. Red goes through the tunnel and kills all the bandits inside after which Curly runs ahead and gets shot by a sniper on the other side of the valley

Trivia

 * If the player chooses to run ahead of Curly and take out the sniper really fast, Curly can be saved and in return he will drop a bag of $1500.
 * Despite the fact that Curly appears to be killed, sleeping 'z' symbols can be seen rising from him, which would technically mean that he is not dead, just unconscious. It's unknown if this is meant to be the case.
 * Curly's name is a direct reference to that of ranch bosses son "Curly" in the John Steinbeck novel "Of Mice and Men", also sharing some of his mannerisms and physical appearances.
