Billy West

 is a Minor character and Stranger in Red Dead Redemption. He appears in and gives the player the Stranger side-mission &quot;Flowers for a Lady&quot;.

Background
Billy appears to be just a normal old man picking flowers for his wife, who he explains is unable to get around now as well as she used to.

Interactions
Marston will offer to help him out by gathering a more exotic bouquet and Billy will enthusiastically accept. Upon completion of the mission, it is revealed that Billy's wife, Annabel West, has not only been dead for some time, but is still rotting in their small shack. Billy is either in complete denial that Annabel is dead or has lost just enough sanity to truly believe she's still alive.

Trivia

 * Bumping into Annabel, accidental or otherwise, causes her head to fall off and roll around the floor. Billy seems to be oblivious to this event, or say something along the lines of 'Oh, crap.' or he will accuse Marston of being sweet on Annabel.
 * A cougar lurking around Billy's house will occassionally leap out and kill him. Returning to his house several days later will still find it locked and deserted, in spite of this being impossible without a resident to do it.
 * Despite the fact that Annabel is dead, if you look closely with the rolling block rifle, you can see that she is breathing very slowly.
 * Billy wears clothes similar to Uncle.
