Eva Cortes

Eva Cortes is a minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption. She plays a part in the stranger mission Eva in Peril.

Background
Cortes is an abused prostitute in Casa Madrugada who appeals to John Marston for help winning her freedom.

Interactions
When John first comes across Eva she is being beaten savagely by her pimp, Mario Alcalde, Marston is given the choice to buy her freedom or leave her to continue to be beaten. Upon buying her freedom Eva leaves the area promising to become a nun at Las Hermanas. (It has been noted that killing Mario before starting the interaction just causes his to reappear later with Eva, making the mission still do-able if he is accidentally killed.)

Later Marston visits the church to check up on Eva and finds out that Mario came back for her. John goes to a nearby graveyard to see him actually digging a grave for her. In the Journal it is revealed that Mario killed Eva in a drunken rage. Marston is forced to engage in a duel with Mario, to get his money back and to exact revenge for the fate of Eva. There is no disarming him in this duel.
