Sean MacGuire

"Just leave it to me. I can talk a dog off a meat wagon."

- Sean Macguire

Sean MacGuire is a character featured in Red Dead Redemption II.

Background
"A cocky young Irish thief and stick‐up man who comes from a long line of criminals and political dissidents. He always wants a piece of the action and believes in himself...perhaps a little too much."

- Description by Rockstar Games. A young Irishman of Rebel stock, came to America joining the Van der Linde gang at some point before 1899. This can be heard by him while burning the Gray family's tobacco fields. He may not be the sharpest knife in the shed, but he’s definitely a good wild card to have on Arthur's side in a fight.

Horseshoe Overlook Chapter
After a botched robbery in Blackwater, Sean was one of the few members who did not end up with the gang in their new hideout at Colter.

After moving to Horseshoe Overlook, a new hideout close to the town of Valentine, the gang hears from Josiah Trelawny that Sean was captured by bounty hunters. Arthur Morgan, accompanied by Javier Escuella and Charles Smith, managed to rescue the Irish outlaw.

After his rescue, a celebration party was thrown for Sean at the new camp.

Sean decided to join Arthur, Charles, and John on the train heist, despite not being invited. He is almost killed in a tustle with guards further up the train, but is saved by Arthur.

Clemens Point Chapter
Sean joined Arthur and Hosea Matthews in working for Catherine Braithwaite, who asked them to burn the tobacco fields and products owned by the rival Gray family. Sean helped Arthur in pouring moonshine over the products before lighting them up. After fighting off the Grays, the two fled the area.

Sean was present alongside Bill Williamson and Micah Bell in the town of Rhodes, joining the two and Arthur on a potential job providing security for the Gray family. However, as the four walked through the street, Sheriff Leigh Gray and his men ambush the four men, immediately shooting Sean in the head, killing him instantly.

After clearing the area, a furious Arthur blamed Sean's death on Bill and Micah's carelessness, expressed his affection towards Sean, and retrieved his body.

Personality
MacGuire is said to be a cheerful man who enjoys spending his time telling stories at the gang's campfires, which he tells with "boundless enthusiasm." He loves being a part of the action, and often overestimates his own abilities.

Sean has a generic Irish accent, very much a stereotypical Irish accent. Unlike Molly O'Shea, who has a distinct Dublin accent, MacGuire's is more hard to pinpoint. The actor, Michael Mellamphy is a Cork native but MacGuire has no distinct Cork accent.

Appearance
Sean has ginger shoulder-length hair and is slightly unshaven. He appears to wear a jacket of a faded blue color over a dirty white shirt.
