Clyde Evans

"The land's too dry for farming, bandits ran all the cattle off. Why you want this land?"

- Clyde Evans

 is a Minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption. He is the subject of the Stranger side-mission &quot;Water and Honesty&quot;.

Background
All there really is to know on Clyde Evans's background is the information given from Andrew McAllister and Evans himself. Evans is the owner of Pleasance House. If Clyde is killed, McAllister tells Marston that "he has a son living in Blackwater", and tells him to keep quiet about the whole affair, possibly implying that Evans's son may pursue Marston as revenge for killing his father if he found out about his father's death. If the player decides to pay for the deed, it is suggested in the brief conversation that follows the purchase that Evans goes to live in Blackwater, despite his loner nature and dislike of the people in Blackwater.

Interactions
The player is asked to acquire a land deed from Evans for the Stranger side-mission "Water and Honesty". Clyde can be found at Pleasance House. If Marston purchases the deed, Clyde says he'll use the money to move to Blackwater. Evans is not seen again.

Alternately the player can kill or hogtie him and take the deed.

Trivia

 * Later it is revealed that Clyde has a son living in Blackwater and that it would not be wise to go and anger him about his father's death.
 * It is also a possibility that Clyde Evans goes to Blackwater if the player intends to pay for the deed to Pleasance House, as said in Marston's short discussion with Evans: "I guess I could find me a place up in Blackwater... But I could never stand the people up there, no sir!"
