| —Blind Man Cassidy |
Blind Man Cassidy is a minor character featured in Red Dead Redemption 2.
History
Background
Blind Man Cassidy is a blind man who can be encountered throughout the world, begging for money from passers-by. The player can donate $1.00 to him, and in return he tells the player riddles that either seemingly allude to the protagonist's personality or to events in the game's story.
Appearance
Cassidy is a short man with a hunched back and a cane, who can be seen wearing various outfits of ragged and worn-out clothes. The few strains of grey hair that remain on his head appear extremely dry and his beard unkempt and coarse. He carries a small metal tankard wherever he goes, in which he keeps the money donated to him.

Trivia
- He is never seen walking by the player, despite traversing the vast territories.
- Although the Blind Man is always sincere, Arthur seems to find his riddles amusing or nonsensical, saying things such as: "Er, sure. Okay, mister" or "I'm not too sure what to make of that."
