Eagle Flies

Eagle Flies is a recurring character featured in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Character
Like his father Rains Fall, Eagle Flies cared deeply for his people, wishing for them to be safe and prosperous. But unlike Rains Fall's pacifistic approach to peace, Eagle Flies advocated and implemented more militaristic methods to attain peace in the continuing conflict between his people and the US Army.

Initially, he remained neutral towards his father's approach to resolving the conflict but the continuing exploitation inflicted on his people and their land had embittered Eagle Flies, creating a great reservoir of anger within him. This ultimately caused Eagle Flies to dismiss his father's pacifism as a sign of accepting their deplorable situation. No longer wishing to do nothing while his people slowly die of disease and lose their way of living, he and the younger members of the reservation opted towards direct military interventions against the US Army.

Although he attacked the US Army for the betterment of his people, Eagle Flies was shortsighted about how his actions would affect them. Eagle Flies never thought that his actions could incite a violent retaliation by the Army such as two tribal women being assaulted by military men.

It was mentioned by his father Rains Fall that Eagle Flies was easily led on by people. This ultimately led to his death when Dutch manipulated Eagle Flies' anger towards the Army into attacking Cornwall Kerosene and Tar Company, where he was fatally wounded by Colonel Henry Favours.

Despite all his flaws, he was brave and loyal to those who have aided him in his efforts. He believed that to risk his own life for someone who has risked their life for him should be the right thing to do.
