Leviticus Cornwall is a major character and the quaternary antagonist of Red Dead Redemption II.

Background
Leviticus Cornwall is a wealthy man who owns many of the businesses the Van der Linde gang have their sights set on, with his greatest power accumulated in Saint Denis. He is also a financial backer of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency.

Events of Red Dead Redemption 2
The Van der Linde gang discovers that the O'Driscoll gang plans to rob a train owned by Cornwall and successfully hijacks the heist it.

Cornwall eventually tracks down the Van der Linde Gang in Valentine. He is angry that the gang keeps stealing from him. He has some goons hold Leopold and John as hostages and he wants Dutch to come outside to face him. Leviticus orders his men to shoot Dutch on sight and rides off on his horse.

Dutch later decides to confront Cornwall personally, and brings Micah and Arthur along to wait for his boat in Annesburg. Dutch originally only intends to talk to Leviticus, but after overhearing his conversations, he instead demands Leviticus pay him $10,000 and surrender his boat if he wants to leave the area unharmed. When Leviticus laughs and refuses, Dutch shoots him in the chest, killing him instantly, with his body falling into the water. Newspapers will then report the incident with many NPC's using the incident as small talk.

Personality
Leviticus Cornwall is shown to be an irritable and arrogant man. He is vindictive towards the Van der Linde gang, who has been stealing from many of his businesses. In a personal confrontation with Dutch, Dutch claims that while he is selective of who he kills and robs, Cornwall is indiscriminate and is far more destructive. This is demonstrated in a conversation with an Annesburg citizen, in which Cornwall expresses disregard for the people's safety in favor of progress.

Cornwall is an old man with gray hair, a beard, and receding hair. True to his status as business magnate, he is finely dressed in all his appearances.
