Aiden O'Leary is a minor, deceased character featured in Red Dead Redemption.
History[]
Background[]
A gravedigger, O'Leary was once a friend of Seth Briars and helped him in his search for a rare treasure map, which O'Leary claimed to have found after coming into possession of the map's deceased original owner. During a flu epidemic, however, he fell sick, succumbed to his illness, and died before he could share his discovery with Seth.
Events of Red Dead Redemption[]
Aiden is not encountered by Marston in-game, only being mentioned by Seth that they were old friends during "A Gentle Drive with Friends".
Trivia[]
- Aiden could be a reference to Prestor O'Leary from Red Dead Revolver; both characters died before the events of the game, both are never seen, share the same surname and both knew one of the major characters in the game (in Prestor's case, Jack Swift, while Aiden knew Seth Briars.)
- Aiden O'Leary also has a similar name to the Grand Theft Auto IV character "Aiden O'Malley," who also played a similar role in the plot.
- Seth claims he always disliked O'Leary, unlike Moses Forth.
- It was rumored that O'Leary had sexual relations with his own sister.
