Walton Lowe is a minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption.

Background
Lowe is the leader of the a prolific outlaw gang, Walton's Gang, based around Armadillo in Cholla Springs, New Austin. Lowe allows his gang members to fraternize in the town Saloon while preying on travelers and townsfolk.

Interaction
John Marston has the opportunity kill or capture Lowe in the mission Political Realities in Armadillo. If killed, Marshal Johnson will comment that Armadillo is better without Lowe. During the next publication, the Blackwater Ledger will print a notice of death for Lowe.
