Shaky

Shaky is a minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption, who is only seen once. Shaky is a petty criminal who sometimes works alongside Irish. Shaky has a very pronounced stutter, which is the origin of his nickname. He is known to be made fun of by Irish. Shaky will sometimes attempt to respond to Irish with a witty retort, but his stutter dampens the effectiveness of the insult. Despite this, Shaky has a noticeably better personality than Irish. He appears to be braver and more courageous, fighting alongside Marston, and seems to be more honest, immediately giving John the bullets, as he promised.

Red Dead Redemption
Shaky is featured in On Shaky's Ground taking place in Thieves' Landing. Shaky is already indebted to Irish for the sale of morphine pills, to "calm his nerves".

Shaky provides the player with the Gatling Gun ammunition that is used to fight their way through Fort Mercer.

Shaky is referred to by Irish as a "hobble-tongued fella" which just about explains everything. Shaky is an arms dealer working out of the warehouse in Thieves' Landing. He works with a gang of bandits, judging by their attire, that in one way or another turn against him. Like a western super-hero, Marston saves Shaky by butchering the men that have had him tied-up and beaten. After this, nothing more is known on Shaky's whereabouts.
