Archibald MacGregor is a supporting character featured in Red Dead Redemption 2.
History
Background
Archibald MacGregor was a resident of the town of Rhodes in Lemoyne. A supporter of the Gray family, Archibald first worked on the land at Caliga Hall before serving as a deputy under Sheriff Leigh Gray. He also mentions he had an uncle, named Reginald, who despite being the town sheriff and Preacher was an alcoholic, he also mentions an aunt who visited Paris in 1878 and a cousin named Webster.
Events of Red Dead Redemption 2
Archibald first encounters Arthur when a group of criminals he and Leigh captured broke free. He and Arthur ride after them, where Arthur deals with those on the train before knocking the leader unconsious. After doing so, they bring him back to the Sheriff’s office, while Archibald gives Arthur a tour of Rhodes. Leigh Gray and Archibald invite Dutch and Arthur to visit and help them again sometime.
Archibald next comes into the picture when Leigh sends him, along with Bill, Dutch and Arthur, to attack a Lemoyne Raider moonshining operation. This is successful, and Leigh later tells the gang members that it is customary for the law to take and drink the moonshine for themselves, rather than destroying it.
Archibald is next seen in the gunfight in Rhodes, which he is slain in. When Arthur and Micah confront Leigh Gray after the shootout in Rhodes, Archibald stands along Sheriff Gray and can be killed by Arthur if the player wishes or, if not, he will be killed by Micah.

Archibald is shown to be a very welcoming person, happily giving Arthur a tour of Rhodes upon arrival, as well as the area’s history.
